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.
“If you do not have IT staff and just want to launch an MVP quickly, start with Firebase (Firestore)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
“For a managed cloud option, Azure Cosmos DB, Amazon DynamoDB, or Google Cloud Firestore are all common consumption-based choices.” Perplexity Sonar · NoSQL · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Cloud Firestore has a free quota, including 1 GiB of stored data, 50,000 reads/day” GPT-6 Luna · NoSQL · budget prompt · alternative
“🥉 Worth Considering: Google Cloud Firestore (Document Database)” Kimi K2 · NoSQL · 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.

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 Google Cloud Firestore. 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 38 of the 51 answers that named Google Cloud Firestore and are not a share of its labels.
