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.
“For most mid-sized B2B companies starting out, LinkedIn Learning gives the best balance of quality, adoption and ease of implementation” Muse Glimmer 30B · Online course libraries · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For the best value, LinkedIn Learning for Business is often recommended due to its extensive course library and reasonable pricing” Mistral Small · Online course libraries · budget prompt · first choice
“The two undisputed leaders for mid-market corporate learning are LinkedIn Learning and Udemy Business.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Online course libraries · direct prompt · first choice
“The Best All-Rounder: LinkedIn Learning ... widely considered the gold standard for general B2B training.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Online course libraries · direct 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.
“LinkedIn Learning primarily provides learning content and can integrate with an organization's LMS; it may complement one rather than replace it.” GPT-6 Luna · Learning management syst · comparative prompt · soft negative
“"its customization options are extremely limited, while some users find content recommendations not as robust as in other systems."” Muse Glimmer 30B · Learning experience plat · negative prompt · soft negative
“The results flag it for high cost and opaque enterprise pricing, so it may be a poor fit if you need predictable budgeting.” Perplexity Sonar · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative
“Some of the libraries mentioned as being potentially problematic include Udemy, Skillshare, and LinkedIn Learning.” Llama 4 Maverick · Online course libraries · negative prompt · soft negative

ShowHideProductSame answerTook the first choice insteadHead to head
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 LinkedIn Learning. 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 214 of the 233 answers that named LinkedIn Learning and are not a share of its labels.

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