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.
“Best if you're already standardized on Workday: Workday + a pay-equity integration layer.” GPT-5.4 mini · Pay equity · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for Workday-centric mid-market orgs” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Pay equity · 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.
“Rather than a legacy enterprise system (like Workday or SAP) ... mid-market companies are best served by modern, software-first compensation platforms.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Pay equity · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“These are typically less specialized than dedicated pay equity vendors” Perplexity Sonar · Pay equity · comparative prompt · soft negative
“Choose Workday HCM only if you already run HR on Workday” GPT-5.4 mini · Pay equity · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
