Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“The creator and influencer management tool that I would recommend to a mid-sized B2B company is Upfluence.” Llama 4 Maverick · Influencer · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Start with Modash or Upfluence for self-service discovery and campaign management” Kimi K2 · Influencer · direct prompt · first choice
“prioritize GRIN, Upfluence, CreatorIQ for your size” Grok 4.20 · Influencer · scale prompt · first choice
“Best for: Utilizing user-generated content (UGC) and turning existing customers into affiliates.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Influencer · comparative prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Be very cautious: Upfluence (poor ROI, data quality issues)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Influencer · negative prompt · hard negative
“a 12-month annual contract "nearly impossible to escape"” Muse Glimmer 30B · Influencer · negative prompt · hard negative
“Predatory billing practices with contract lock-ins” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Ecommerce marketing · negative prompt · hard negative
“such as Grin and Upfluence—are designed for enterprise-level companies... cautionary tales ... about their billing practices” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Influencer · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Upfluence. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 82 of the 88 answers that named Upfluence and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page upfluence.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Upfluence's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Upfluence, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Upfluence by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Upfluence is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Upfluence, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
