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.
“Best for Regular Hiring: Coderbyte ... unlimited plan offers the best value.” Kimi K2 · Technical hiring assessm · budget prompt · first choice
“For a small company watching cash flow, I'd start with Coderbyte's monthly plan.” GPT-6 Luna · Technical hiring assessm · budget prompt · first choice
“Coderbyte stands out as one of the best coding assessment platforms” Grok 4.1 Fast · Technical hiring assessm · budget prompt · first choice
“Coderbyte is frequently recommended as the best value option.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Technical hiring assessm · budget 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.
“Frequently called out as one of the worst by candidates due to bugs ... "riddled with bugs"” Grok 4.1 Fast · Technical hiring assessm · negative prompt · hard negative
“Called "the worst coding test platform" in multiple accounts.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Candidate assessment · negative prompt · hard negative
“Some platforms (like Coderbyte) have cheap base prices but charge add-ons for proctoring” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Technical hiring assessm · budget 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 Coderbyte. 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 82 of the 82 answers that named Coderbyte and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page coderbyte.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. Read September 29, 2026.

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