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 13 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.
“Choose Alight if you want a broad benefits + wellbeing + engagement platform.” GPT-5.4 mini · Flexible benefits · comparative prompt · first choice
“Key players in the Flexible Spending Account FSA Solution Market include Alight Solutions, Discovery Benefits, PayFlex” Muse Glimmer 30B · HSA & FSA admin · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for enterprise complexity: Alight Solutions and bswift, built for large, multi-plan benefit structures.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Benefits administration · comparative prompt · alternative
“Enterprise-grade scale; strong analytics; can handle very complex global benefit programs” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Benefits administration · 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.
“High costs associated with change orders and tasks present financial and operational challenges, and some employers find the technology outdated” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Benefits administration · negative prompt · hard negative
“Common gripes include extreme wait times, untrained support, payment delays, lost paperwork” Grok 4.1 Fast · Flexible benefits · negative prompt · hard negative
“"Nightmare" experiences according to users; denies valid claims for no clear reason” DeepSeek V4 Flash · HSA & FSA admin · negative prompt · hard negative

ShowHideProductSame answerTook the first choice insteadHead to head
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 Alight Solutions. 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 45 of the 46 answers that named Alight Solutions 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 Alight Solutions'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 Alight Solutions, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

- where Alight Solutions 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 Alight Solutions, 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.
