Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Rho 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 Rho across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“I'd recommend Rho if your priority is an all-in-one platform for banking, cards, bill pay, and spend controls as you scale.” Perplexity Sonar · Business banking · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Start with Rho if you want one connected finance workflow, or Sage Intacct if you need a serious, scalable GL” DeepSeek V4 Flash · AI accounting assistants · direct prompt · first choice
“For a mid-sized B2B startup, I'd recommend Rho as your primary banking platform” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Business banking · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Modern platforms (such as Ramp, Rho, or Mercury)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Expense management · negative 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Rho. 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 88 of the 106 answers that named Rho 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 Rho'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 Rho, 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 rho.co 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.
