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.
“Enterprise platforms like MentorcliQ and Chronus are best for organizations that need to run, scale, and measure structured mentoring programs internally” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Mentoring software · comparative prompt · first choice
“Chronus is currently one of the most popular platforms for growing companies.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Mentoring software · direct prompt · first choice
“Chronus is currently the gold standard for large-scale corporate programs.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Mentoring software · comparative prompt · first choice
“Chronus is the most commonly cited enterprise pick for mid-market B2B” Muse Glimmer 30B · Mentoring software · 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.
“Legacy enterprise tools (like Chronus or MentorcliQ) are often too complex, highly manual to configure, and cost-prohibitive for mid-market budgets.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Mentoring software · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“Chronus is strong, but its pricing is quote-based and aimed more at enterprise use, so it's usually not the most budget-friendly starting point.” GPT-5.4 mini · Mentoring software · budget prompt · soft negative
“typically start at $10,000+ per year and require you to go through a lengthy "contact sales" process” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Mentoring software · budget prompt · soft negative
“without the complexity and longer implementation timelines of enterprise-focused solutions like Chronus” Kimi K2 · Mentoring software · direct 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 Chronus. 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 139 of the 145 answers that named Chronus and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page chronus.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.

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 Chronus'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 Chronus, 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 Chronus by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Chronus 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 Chronus, 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.
