Movement

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

“If your team is small (under 5 people), Bitbucket is a strong choice due to its integration with Jira and free private repos.” Mistral Small · Source control · budget prompt · first choice
“Bitbucket Cloud is often the sweet spot: it's the cheapest per-user, has a generous free tier for up to 5 users” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Source control · budget prompt · first choice
“Best if your company is deeply, inextricably integrated into the Atlassian ecosystem... historically lags slightly behind GitHub/GitLab” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Source control · scale prompt · alternative
“Bitbucket Cloud at $6.60/user/month offers native integrations and is more cost-effective, though with less self-hosting flexibility” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Source control · paraphrase 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.

“About one-third of Bitbucket incidents had major impact ... Atlassian struggled with high-severity flaws including CVSS scores over 9” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Source control · negative prompt · soft negative
“still a proprietary hosted service and should be evaluated for retention, access-control, and ecosystem dependence” Perplexity Sonar · Source control · negative prompt · soft negative
“Pick Bitbucket only if you're deep in Atlassian tools—otherwise, its smaller share limits hiring/talent pool.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Source control · direct prompt · soft negative
“The developer community generally rates Bitbucket\u2019s user experience and AI features ... lower than GitHub's.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Source control · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Bitbucket. 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 148 of the 199 answers that named Bitbucket 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 Bitbucket'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 Bitbucket, 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 bitbucket.org 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.
