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 search results consistently recommend platforms like Simpplr, Happeo, MangoApps, or Workvivo as strong fits” MiniMax M2.5 · Internal communications · scale prompt · first choice
“Simpplr and ThoughtFarmer are top choices due to their modern features, ease of use, and strong user reviews” Mistral Small · Internal communications · direct prompt · first choice
“Pick Simpplr if you want a more ready-to-use, AI-assisted intranet with less IT overhead.” Perplexity Sonar · Internal communications · comparative prompt · first choice
“Start with Workvivo or Simpplr for demos—both shine in mid-market B2B case studies.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Internal communications · direct 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.

“Some "cheap" enterprise platforms (Simpplr, Staffbase, Workvivo) have user minimums or $20k+/year price tags — avoid these” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal communications · budget prompt · hard negative
“some platforms (e.g., Simpplr) lock you into certain licensing (Salesforce) or restrict customization” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal communications · negative prompt · soft negative
“Simpplr - mentioned as having customization restrictions and reliance on Salesforce licensing.” Llama 4 Maverick · Internal communications · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Simpplr. 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 90 of the 103 answers that named Simpplr 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 Simpplr'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 Simpplr, 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 Simpplr by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Simpplr 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 Simpplr, 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 simpplr.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.
