Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for NordPass yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated NordPass across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“The best business password manager for a company with a limited budget is NordPass Business or RoboForm Business” Llama 4 Maverick · Password managers · budget prompt · first choice
“NordPass Teams and Bitwarden are the top recommendations for a company with a limited budget.” Mistral Small · Password managers · budget prompt · first choice
“If your team is 10 users or fewer and you want the absolute cheapest option, NordPass at ~$2/user/month is worth considering, though it may have fewer advanced admin controls.” Kimi K2 · Password managers · budget prompt · alternative
“if you want a simple, price‑driven solution for remote teams, NordPass Business is a solid alternative” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Password managers · 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.

“While NordPass itself hasn't been breached, its parent company (NordVPN) was hacked in 2018” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Password managers · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named NordPass. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 92 of the 97 answers that named NordPass 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 NordPass'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 NordPass, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at nordpass.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
