Standing by category
Every category where a model named Moodle for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

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.
“Moodle is an open-source platform that is free to download, use, and modify, making it ideal if you have technical expertise in-house.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Learning experience plat · budget prompt · alternative
“Cons: It has a steeper learning curve and looks less polished than SaaS platforms. You will likely need IT help to set it up.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Compliance training · budget prompt · alternative
“Open-source and highly configurable... but "free software" doesn't mean free setup, hosting, maintenance, or support.” GPT-6 Luna · Learning management syst · comparative prompt · alternative
“can be very cheap on software cost because it's open source, but you may pay for hosting, setup, and admin time” GPT-5.4 mini · Learning management syst · budget 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 Blackboard Original, Blackbaud LMS, and self-hosted Moodle if you prioritize user experience and modern workflows.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Learning management syst · negative prompt · hard negative
“CISA bulletins in 2025 listed Moodle issues affecting sensitive data exposure and enrollment checks, which doesn’t mean “avoid Moodle entirely,” but it does mean you should verify patch status” GPT-5.4 mini · Learning management syst · negative prompt · soft negative
“Open-source platforms (like self-hosted Moodle): Require constant security updates and technical expertise to maintain securely” Kimi K2 · Learning management syst · negative prompt · soft negative
“Steep technical learning curve for admins, requires more IT resources, UI less polished out-of-the-box” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Learning management syst · negative prompt · soft negative

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 Moodle. 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 124 of the 135 answers that named Moodle and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page moodle.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. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as Moodle

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