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.

“1. Leapsome - Surveys, performance reviews, learning, goal management for growing companies seeking an all-in-one people platform.” Llama 4 Maverick · Employee engagement surv · direct prompt · first choice
“Offers flexible pricing starting at $3 per user per month, making it a viable option for scaling teams with limited budgets.” Llama 4 Maverick · Workforce planning · budget prompt · first choice
“Choose Lattice for a highly polished, US-centric market leader, or Leapsome if you have a global/European footprint” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Employee engagement surv · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For the absolute lowest budget, Effy AI, Zoho People, Teamflect, or Leapsome's free plans are excellent starting points.” Mistral Small · Performance management · 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.

“Avoid platforms like Culture Amp, Leapsome, or Qualtrics” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Employee engagement surv · budget prompt · hard negative
“Tools like Lattice, Leapsome, Betterworks... often fall short when strategy or operations teams need a leadership cockpit.” MiniMax M2.5 · Goals and OKRs · negative prompt · soft negative
“Lattice and Leapsome reach succession through performance tiers carrying $4,000 and $6,000 annual minimums.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Succession planning · negative prompt · soft negative
“The UI can feel unclear and time-consuming when trying to find specific data, goal updates are more manual” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Goals and OKRs · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page leapsome.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 Leapsome'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 Leapsome, 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 Leapsome by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Leapsome 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 Leapsome, 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 leapsome.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.
