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.

“Google Classroom is free to use ... for organizations already using Google Workspace, it's an economical and cohesive extension” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Learning experience plat · budget prompt · alternative

“Ideal for basic onboarding or lightweight training in small Google-using teams, but lacks advanced LXP features” Grok 4.1 Fast · Learning experience plat · budget prompt · alternative

“DIY with Google Classroom + Curated YouTube (Free)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Online course libraries · budget prompt · alternative

“For K-12: Google Classroom (free, simple)” Kimi K2 · Learning management syst · 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.

“Avoid for advanced/enterprise needs” Grok 4.1 Fast · Learning management syst · negative prompt · hard negative

“The Catch: It is incredibly basic. It lacks advanced features like compliance tracking, automated reminders, and SCORM” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Learning management syst · budget prompt · soft negative

“Not designed for corporate training — minimal reporting, no SCORM support... It's a basic solution, not a true LMS.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Learning management syst · budget prompt · soft negative

“They are not full LMS platforms, gradebook is minimal, accreditation-record is not auditable to higher-ed standard” Muse Glimmer 30B · Learning management syst · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Google Classroom. 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 26 of the 27 answers that named Google Classroom and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page google.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 Google Classroom'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 Google Classroom, 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 Google Classroom by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Google Classroom 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 Google Classroom, 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.
