Movement

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

By model

How each model treated Appdome across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen 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.

“Appdome is a widely recognized platform that automates mobile app security... This could be a good fit for mid-sized companies” MiniMax M2.5 · App shielding · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“that ends up being Appdome for no-code integration, but I'd still recommend getting direct pricing before deciding” GPT-5.4 mini · App shielding · budget prompt · first choice

“Choose Appdome if you want fastest time-to-value, no code/SDK changes, and a managed threat-response console.” Muse Glimmer 30B · App shielding · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend Appdome as a top Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solution for mobile apps” Grok 4.1 Fast · App shielding · paraphrase 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.

“its build limit model can become restrictive in high-frequency CI/CD environments... may not align well with all development workflows and can become costly” Mistral Small · App shielding · negative prompt · soft negative

“Several vendors (including Appdome and others) have been flagged in G2 community discussions for: Build limit models” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App shielding · negative prompt · soft negative

“DexGuard or Appdome, but these are not the most budget-friendly options in the results” Perplexity Sonar · App shielding · budget prompt · soft negative

“Appdome's build limits and scaling costs become restrictive for CI/CD-heavy teams” Grok 4.1 Fast · App shielding · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Appdome. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 148 of the 151 answers that named Appdome and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page appdome.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as Appdome

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

Is this your product?

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

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Appdome by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Appdome is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Appdome, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where Appdome is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

ShowHide

AI models recommend Appdome first in Application shielding this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
