What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Deep, project‑based tech nanodegree with mentorship | Udacity” MiniMax M2.5 · Online course libraries · comparative prompt · alternative

“Udacity/Pluralsight for tech skills” Grok 4.1 Fast · Skills intelligence · negative 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.

“Udacity: Frequently cited as overpriced compared to free alternatives, with strict refund policies and content quality concerns” Kimi K2 · Skills intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative

“High-Ticket "Nanodegrees" or University-Branded Bootcamp Libraries (e.g., Udacity, Simplilearn, Emeritus)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative

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 Udacity. 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 6 of the 7 answers that named Udacity 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 Udacity'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 Udacity, 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 Udacity by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Udacity 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 Udacity, 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 udacity.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.
