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 Coursera or edX if you need a recognizable brand name on your resume or are looking for a highly structured, deep academic program.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Online course libraries · comparative prompt · first choice
“Coursera’s FY2025 annual report lists 13,500+ courses ... Coursera’s scale advantage over edX has widened further.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Online course libraries · comparative prompt · first choice
“If you want a university-backed course, look at Coursera or edX and opt for the "audit" (free) version first” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Online course libraries · negative prompt · first choice
“Coursera is the best overall online learning platform in 2026” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Online course libraries · comparative 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.

“here are learning experience platforms you should avoid or be cautious about... ### Coursera - Fraudulent billing practices” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · hard negative
“Extremely low completion rates (e.g., 4–16% per UPenn/Vice studies), uneven content quality” Grok 4.1 Fast · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · soft negative
“Caution Point: Cost vs. Value. A major complaint is the "subscription trap."” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · soft negative
“Coursera, edX (when paying full price). Verdict: Be Cautious of Costs.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative
