Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“ClickHouse Cloud delivers the strongest overall cost-performance, with the lowest runtime × cost value.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Data warehouses · budget prompt · first choice
“Massive-Scale Event Analytics & BI | ClickHouse | Technically an OLAP column store, but incredibly fast for high-volume time-series analytical queries” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Time series DBs · scale prompt · alternative
“You expect very large volumes and need broad, ad-hoc analytics across telemetry and other events: evaluate ClickHouse” GPT-6 Luna · Time series DBs · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“use Tempo or ClickHouse if you need traces but want to keep storage costs under control” Perplexity Sonar · Telemetry pipelines · budget 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.
“startups like ClickHouse, Tinybird, or MotherDuck are popular, they carry different risks than established giants” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Data warehouses · negative prompt · soft negative
“ClickHouse is not optimized for high-frequency append-only writes... lacks native time-series features” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Time series DBs · negative prompt · soft negative
“Not actually a TSDB; it's a column-oriented OLAP database that's often compared with TSDBs.” GPT-5.4 mini · Time series DBs · comparative prompt · soft negative
“worth evaluating but may not yet have the maturity of the top three” Mistral Small · Data warehouses · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ClickHouse Cloud. 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 178 of the 200 answers that named ClickHouse Cloud and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page clickhouse.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 September 29, 2026.

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 ClickHouse Cloud'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 ClickHouse Cloud, 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 ClickHouse Cloud by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where ClickHouse Cloud 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 ClickHouse Cloud, 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.
