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.

“1. Benepass - Best for mid-market and enterprise organizations prioritizing compliance, global scale, and card-based benefits delivery” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Flexible benefits · direct prompt · first choice
“Benepass and Forma are the leading choices due to their scalability, compliance focus, and comprehensive platform features.” Mistral Small · Flexible benefits · direct prompt · first choice
“Best for Modern, "All-in-One Wallet" Benefits: Benepass or Forma ... these modern platforms are the gold standard.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · HSA & FSA admin · direct prompt · first choice
“### 1. Benepass (Best Overall for Mid-Market) ... currently one of the most robust options for mid-sized organizations” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Flexible benefits · 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.

“Skip the "full-service" platforms (like Benepass or mid-market suites). They tack on per-employee fees” DeepSeek V4 Flash · HSA & FSA admin · budget prompt · hard negative
“Card-first platforms (e.g., Benepass): While convenient, these typically cost $4–$12 per employee per month, which can become expensive for larger teams.” Mistral Small · Flexible benefits · negative prompt · soft negative
“around $4–$12 per employee per month … on top of whatever benefit dollars you fund” Muse Glimmer 30B · Flexible benefits · budget prompt · soft negative
“Benepass \u2014 *Minor caution* ... recurring reimbursement issues” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Flexible benefits · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Benepass. 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 190 of the 193 answers that named Benepass and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page getbenepass.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

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 Benepass'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 Benepass, 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

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

  • where Benepass 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 Benepass, 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.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at getbenepass.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
