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.

“iSpring Suite is the best overall choice due to its balance of ease of use, PowerPoint integration, rapid authoring, and strong output quality” Mistral Small · Course authoring tools · direct prompt · first choice
“If your team already uses Microsoft PowerPoint and has existing slide decks, iSpring Free is the absolute easiest way to start.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend starting with iSpring Suite for course creation combined with iSpring Learn for delivery and tracking” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Course authoring tools · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“iSpring Suite - This is a PowerPoint-based authoring toolkit that's particularly good for creating interactive courses” MiniMax M2.5 · Course authoring tools · 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.

“start at ~$700–1,700/year per user but offer more polish” Grok 4.1 Fast · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · soft negative
“PowerPoint-based tools will feel incredibly restrictive” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Course authoring tools · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page ispring.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 iSpring Suite'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 iSpring Suite, 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 iSpring Suite by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where iSpring Suite 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 iSpring Suite, 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 ispring.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.
