Movement

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

“or Couchdrop if you want a modern cloud-based solution optimized for B2B partner exchanges” Claude Haiku 4.5 · MFT · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Great options if you are a cloud-first company that primarily needs lightweight, secure SFTP-to-cloud storage mapping” Gemini 3.5 Flash · MFT · scale prompt · alternative

“best if you want a modern cloud platform that emphasizes B2B transfer automation and compliance-oriented workflows” Perplexity Sonar · MFT · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Couchdrop - They offer a secure FTP and SFTP server solution suitable for businesses of all sizes” Llama 4 Maverick · MFT · 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.

No model argued against it.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page couchdrop.io 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. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as Couchdrop

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

where Couchdrop 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 Couchdrop, 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.
