Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for LinkedIn Learning yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated LinkedIn Learning 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.

“Credential-first platforms like LinkedIn Learning, edX, and Google Career Certificates tend to grade better on consumer-friendliness” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Skills intelligence · negative prompt · first choice

“Udemy Business and LinkedIn Learning are the two industry-leading recommendations for mid-market B2B organizations” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Online course libraries · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“LinkedIn Learning is the best overall online course library for employees in a mid-market B2B company” Perplexity Sonar · Online course libraries · direct prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend LinkedIn Learning if your goal is broad, ready-to-use corporate training content” Perplexity Sonar · Online course libraries · paraphrase 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.

“Avoid higher-end like LinkedIn Learning (~$380/user/year)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Online course libraries · budget prompt · hard negative

“LinkedIn Learning - not recommended for certain goals, such as software engineering skills or creative/design skills.” Llama 4 Maverick · Skills intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative

“These libraries are excellent, but very expensive for individuals (often $30/month)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative

“High cost, limited interactivity, and outdated content are the main complaints.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named LinkedIn Learning. 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 150 of the 196 answers that named LinkedIn Learning and are not a share of its labels.

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

With a new claim: the vendor brief

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for LinkedIn Learning by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where LinkedIn Learning 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 LinkedIn Learning, 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.

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 linkedin.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.
