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.
“Zoho Billing is usually the best starting point because it is positioned for small businesses and freelancers with free and affordable plans” Perplexity Sonar · Billing · budget prompt · first choice
“Zoho Billing is widely recommended as the best choice for budget-conscious companies.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Billing · budget prompt · first choice
“Zoho Billing may cost less... it's not a substitute for a full-featured CPQ when product rules get complicated” GPT-6 Luna · CPQ · budget prompt · alternative
“Completely free plan with unlimited recurring invoices, customization, multi-currency, client portals” Grok 4.20 · Billing · budget prompt · alternative
And against it

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 Zoho Billing. 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 41 of the 43 answers that named Zoho Billing and are not a share of its labels.
