Movement

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

“Excels in policy-to-code automation and compliance workflows... Best for enterprises building governance programs from scratch” Grok 4.1 Fast · AI governance · comparative prompt · first choice

“The best overall AI governance platform, pairing an AI use-case registry with regulation-mapped assessments and a policy engine” Claude Haiku 4.5 · AI governance · direct prompt · first choice

“A platform that wins on regulatory alignment (e.g., Credo AI) is not a replacement for deep production observability” Kimi K2 · AI governance · comparative prompt · first choice

“My default pick would be Credo AI if you're buying a dedicated AI-governance platform from scratch.” GPT-6 Luna · AI governance · 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.

“What to Avoid (Too Expensive for Limited Budgets) ... Credo AI | $30,000-$150,000/year | Enterprise-only, quote-gated” Kimi K2 · AI governance · budget prompt · hard negative

“What to avoid (if budget is tight) - Credo AI – starts at ~$50,000/year” DeepSeek V4 Flash · AI governance · budget prompt · hard negative

“Some platforms, such as Credo AI, are strong in documentation and risk assessment but do not currently offer runtime enforcement for live AI traffic.” Mistral Small · AI governance · negative prompt · soft negative

“Has a steep learning curve for initial configuration and is primarily focused on policy and documentation rather than runtime enforcement” Claude Haiku 4.5 · AI governance · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Credo AI. 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 151 of the 153 answers that named Credo AI and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page credo.ai 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.

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

where Credo AI 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 Credo AI, 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 Credo AI is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

AI models recommend Credo AI first in AI governance platforms 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.
