Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Zip 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 Zip 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.

“Widely regarded as a category leader for the mid-market. It is highly user-friendly, has strong workflow automation” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Strategic sourcing · scale prompt · first choice
“Best for Intake, Onboarding, & Risk Orchestration: Zip (Zip HQ) ... Zip is the market leader.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Supplier management · direct prompt · first choice
“Zip (Intake-to-Pay): Incredible "intake" UX that orchestrates requests across legal, security, IT, and finance” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Procure-to-pay · scale prompt · alternative
“look at agile, modern, and modular platforms (like *Kodiak Hub*, *Zip*, *Procurify*, or *Stampli*)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Supplier management · negative 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Zip. 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 25 of the 48 answers that named Zip and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as Zip

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Zip; a claim can dispute any of them.

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 Zip'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 Zip, 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 ziphq.com 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.
