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 10 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 mid-sized B2B companies, I'd suggest starting with BILL for its balance of affordability, ease of use, and comprehensive features” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Accounts payable automat · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“For most mid-sized B2B companies, BILL offers the best balance of features, pricing transparency, and scalability.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Accounts payable automat · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest starting with Bill.com or Tipalti as they balance strong automation with reasonable complexity” MiniMax M2.5 · Accounts payable automat · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“strongest general SMB/mid-market AP automation pick, especially for invoice capture, approvals, and payments” GPT-5.4 mini · Accounts payable automat · comparative prompt · first choice
And against it

“Tools with Notable Concerns ... Persistent Bugs | Reuses invoice numbers from archived vendors, causing reconciliation errors” Kimi K2 · Accounts payable automat · negative prompt · hard negative
“BILL AP/AR | Payment issues, sync errors, poor support” Mistral Small · Accounts payable automat · negative prompt · hard negative
“BILL has implemented incredibly aggressive, automated risk-mitigation algorithms that frequently catch legitimate businesses in unexpected underwriting traps.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Accounts payable automat · negative prompt · soft negative
