48% of first choices, clear leader.
Google Meet is made by Google, whose model Gemini 3.5 Flash is in the set. On the four share prompts that model made it the first choice two times of 4; the other thirteen models five times of 52. Lab treatment is defined on the method page; the row is marked, not excluded.
Every product with at least 10 labels here, on both axes. The 30% line names a quadrant, not the verdict above: that one needs more than 40%.
“Zoom - due to its indifferent video quality, expensive pricing compared to Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and limitations on call length and user capacity in its free version.” Llama 4 Maverick, negative prompt
“Skip Cisco Webex unless you have a compelling reason and a bigger budget” DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt
“I wouldn't outright ban mainstream platforms like Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or Webex; instead, I'd avoid using them in consumer mode or with default settings.” GPT-5.4 mini, negative prompt
“potentially overcomplicated for basic communications... may not be the most cost-effective option for small businesses” Llama 4 Maverick, negative prompt
74 of 84 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 14 of 14 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 816 links across 196 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. None of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category.
The ten pages named in the most answers, by full address. A page here is one the models returned with a recommendation, not one the index endorses.
