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.
“or QuickBooks Time if your main need is straightforward employee time tracking tied closely to payroll” GPT-5.4 mini · Time and attendance · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Best For: Small-to-medium construction, trades, or service businesses already using QuickBooks accounting.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Time and attendance · comparative prompt · alternative
“Quickbooks Time - suitable for mid-market and enterprise teams already using ADP for payroll or HCM.” Llama 4 Maverick · Time and attendance · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“if you are already standardized on ADP and want attendance built into the same ecosystem” Perplexity Sonar · Time and attendance · direct 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.
“Do not confuse a Time Tracker (like TSheets or simple punch clocks) with a Leave Management System.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Leave · negative prompt · hard negative
“kicked employees out without warning... app automatically clocks out employees and deletes time logs” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Workforce scheduling · negative prompt · hard negative
“QuickBooks Time may be a poor fit if you need GPS tracking, geofencing, or automatic background tracking for field workers.” Perplexity Sonar · Time and attendance · negative prompt · soft negative
“Avoid if: You need highly responsive, hands-on customer support or complex shift-scheduling features.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Time and attendance · 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 QuickBooks Time. 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 90 of the 96 answers that named QuickBooks Time and are not a share of its labels.
