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.

“Org Chart Software (like Lucidchart, OrgChart, or Miro) - Best for visualizing hierarchy, roles, and reporting relationships.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Org charts · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Lucidchart is a strong all-around choice for org charts as part of a broader diagramming suite” Perplexity Sonar · Org charts · comparative prompt · first choice
“Lucidchart – well-rounded diagramming ... Diagram + collaboration beyond orgs: Lucidchart” Muse Glimmer 30B · Org charts · comparative prompt · first choice
“If you want flexibility and multi-purpose diagramming, choose Lucidchart or Visio.” Mistral Small · Org charts · 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.

“Static diagramming tools such as Lucidchart, Miro, Creately, SmartDraw, Visio, PowerPoint, Excel, and Word when they are used as the primary org-chart system” Perplexity Sonar · Org charts · negative prompt · hard negative
“static diagramming tools (like Lucidchart, Miro, or Visio) fail because manual updates quickly become a bottleneck” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Org charts · direct prompt · hard negative
“Lucidchart specifically — users note it's "expensive, locked behind seats, and overkill"” Kimi K2 · Org charts · negative prompt · hard negative
“*Why avoid:* While they can import data, they are fundamentally static vector canvases.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Org charts · scale prompt · hard negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page lucid.co 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. 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 Lucidchart'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 Lucidchart, 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 Lucidchart by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Lucidchart 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 Lucidchart, 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 lucid.co 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.
