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.
“Visdum and Xactly Incent are top choices due to their automation, integration, and scalability.” Mistral Small · Commissions · direct prompt · first choice
“For most mid-sized B2B companies, Xactly and Varicent are the top choices” Mistral Small · Commissions · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For large, complex sales organizations: Xactly or Beqom” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Commissions · comparative prompt · first choice
“While it requires significant administrative upkeep and a longer deployment window, its enterprise-wide capabilities ... are highly robust.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Commissions · 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.
“outdated interface that can feel clunky and unintuitive, with inadequate and cumbersome reporting features ... implementation is long and expensive” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Commissions · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid older legacy tools like Xactly unless you have specific enterprise requirements.” Kimi K2 · Commissions · direct prompt · hard negative
“Legacy technology issues: Users report clunky, confusing interfaces and slow loading times ... Despite these issues, it has decent overall ratings (4.2/5)” MiniMax M2.5 · Commissions · negative prompt · soft negative
“the standard enterprise-tier platforms (such as Xactly, CaptivateIQ, or Salesforce Spiff) are usually out of the question due to high minimum user counts” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Commissions · budget prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page xactlycorp.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. Read September 29, 2026.
