By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Hudu has gained immense popularity in the IT community specifically because it has friendly pricing, flexible contracts, self-hosted or cloud options, and rapid development” Gemini 3.5 Flash · IT documentation · negative prompt · first choice
“I'd generally recommend Hudu if you want the best balance of IT knowledge base + asset documentation + cost control” GPT-5.4 mini · IT documentation · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend Hudu as the best balance of: Purpose-built IT documentation features - Reasonable pricing” Kimi K2 · IT documentation · direct prompt · first choice
“Hudu currently delivers the most value per dollar for IT-specific documentation” DeepSeek V4 Flash · IT documentation · direct 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.
“Hudu self-hosted if you don’t want to own backup operations... it’s a real operational responsibility—not “set and forget.”” GPT-6 Luna · IT documentation · negative prompt · soft negative
“lacks some security controls found in competitors” Muse Glimmer 30B · IT documentation · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page hudu.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.

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 Hudu'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 Hudu, 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 Hudu by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Hudu 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 Hudu, 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 Hudu is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.ShowHide
Badges
AI models recommend Hudu first in IT documentation 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.
Badges read on light and dark pages. Alt text carries the claim, the category, the edition and the index, so it stays a citation where the image does not load.
