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.

“Go with AppSealing (DoveRunner) — it offers a 30-day free trial, requires no coding ... comprehensive RASP + obfuscation features at a flat, predictable price point.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App shielding · budget prompt · first choice

“subscribe to AppSealing ($129/mo) to quickly wrap your app with robust runtime protections” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App shielding · budget prompt · first choice

“AppSealing is also a strong candidate because it uses pay-as-you-grow pricing and requires no code changes” Perplexity Sonar · App shielding · budget prompt · alternative

“AppSealing brings the benefits of DevSecOps to Mobile Apps with a zero-friction, zero-coding approach” Claude Haiku 4.5 · App shielding · direct 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.

“Public bypass tutorials and reversal research available (GitHub: "Appsealing-Reversal")” Kimi K2 · App shielding · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

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

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page appsealing.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.

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 AppSealing'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 AppSealing, 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 AppSealing by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where AppSealing 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 AppSealing, 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.
