October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.8, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Tightest budget (<$50/month): Start with FileZilla Server” Grok 4.1 Fast · MFT · budget prompt · alternative

“start with free options like FileZilla for basic needs” MiniMax M2.5 · MFT · budget prompt · alternative

“FileZilla Server - Free, open-source FTP/SFTP server” Kimi K2 · MFT · 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.

“best only if you need a free option and your requirements are relatively simple” Perplexity Sonar · MFT · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
