September 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table vv2026-09.2, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Responsive was named 5 times in Strategic sourcing, where Precoro led with 17%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named Responsive 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.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Responsive yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Responsive across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Top Recommendation: Responsive (formerly RFPIO)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“If your focus is primarily on RFP management, Responsive or Loopio are top-rated options” Mistral Small · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Enterprise pricing, steeper implementation for smaller teams” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase 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.

“RFPIO, Loopio, Qvidian: These start at $15K–$30K+/year and are designed for large enterprises” Kimi K2 · Strategic sourcing · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. 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 Responsive. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 16 of the 19 answers that named Responsive and are not a share of its labels.

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 Responsive'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 Responsive, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at responsive.io is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
