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 small to medium companies on a tight budget: Start with the free tier of TalentLMS, Zoho Learn, ProProfs Training Maker, or Coursebox” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Learning management syst · budget prompt · first choice
“TalentLMS - Known for its ease of use, transparent pricing, and support for employee onboarding, compliance training, and skills tracking.” Llama 4 Maverick · Learning management syst · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Start with TalentLMS if you want the best balance of features, ease of use, and transparent pricing for a mid-market B2B company.” Kimi K2 · Learning management syst · direct prompt · first choice
“TalentLMS is the most-cited affordable all-rounder for small teams."TalentLMS is the strongest all-round pick under forty people"” Muse Glimmer 30B · Compliance training · 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.
“Skip pure LMS like TalentLMS/Docebo unless you need hosting/delivery too” Grok 4.1 Fast · Course authoring tools · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“Limitations: Limited automation, lacks SOC-2 compliance, basic reporting features” Kimi K2 · Learning management syst · comparative prompt · soft negative
“have free tiers for training ... but they're less specialized for live 1:1 coaching” Grok 4.1 Fast · Coaching platforms · budget 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 TalentLMS. 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 348 of the 365 answers that named TalentLMS and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page talentlms.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.

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