Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for WooCommerce yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated WooCommerce across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“the best choices are Wix Business ($17/month) or WooCommerce on shared hosting (~$15/month total)... WooCommerce wins on flexibility” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Ecommerce marketing · budget prompt · first choice

“WooCommerce (Best for Ultra-Low Budget)... For absolute minimum cost: WooCommerce + free plugins + free marketing tools” Mistral Small · Ecommerce marketing · budget prompt · first choice

“Choose WooCommerce if you have some tech-savviness ... and want the absolute lowest long-term costs and total control” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Ecommerce · budget prompt · first choice

“WooCommerce is usually best for the tightest budget *if you can handle WordPress hosting and setup*” Perplexity Sonar · Ecommerce · budget prompt · first choice

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.

“Many businesses that started with WooCommerce are now reconsidering their technology stack, with the main reasons including performance issues, maintenance costs, and operational complexity.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Ecommerce · negative prompt · soft negative

“Any standalone website (often run via Shopify or WooCommerce) that sells trending products at steep discounts without clear branding” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Ecommerce · negative prompt · soft negative

“"Free" but hosting, maintenance, PCI compliance, and plugins add up ($40k-$150k/year at scale)” MiniMax M2.5 · Ecommerce · negative prompt · soft negative

“Security heavily depends on plugin selection and maintenance” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Ecommerce · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. 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 WooCommerce. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 24 of the 141 answers that named WooCommerce and are not a share of its labels.

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 WooCommerce'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 WooCommerce, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at woocommerce.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
