Movement

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

“LIAPP at $39.99 (one-time payment) appears to be the most affordable option that still provides comprehensive protection” MiniMax M2.5 · App shielding · budget prompt · first choice

“If you have ~$40 one-time: Go with LIAPP — it's the cheapest commercial option and covers the essentials.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App shielding · budget prompt · first choice

“For the tightest budget, LIAPP offers the best value with its one-time $39.99 payment.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · App shielding · budget prompt · first choice

“Upgrade to Talsec RASP+ (€284/month) or LIAPP ($140/month) when you need stronger hardening” Kimi K2 · App shielding · 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.

No model argued against it.

Named alongside

The products named in the same answers as LIAPP, over the 22 answers that named it. Took the first choice instead counts the answers where the other product was the first choice and LIAPP was named but was not.

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 LIAPP. 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 22 of the 22 answers that named LIAPP and are not a share of its labels.

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

where LIAPP 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 LIAPP, 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.
