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.
“Patch My PC connects directly to your Intune tenant and automatically populates it with a catalog of over 3,500 pre-packaged, pre-tested third-party applications” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Patching · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“If you're already on Microsoft 365 → Intune + Patch My PC - Most cost-effective - Largest third-party catalog” Kimi K2 · Patching · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Patch management: Patch My PC + Microsoft Intune/ConfigMgr for app patching and endpoint control” GPT-5.4 mini · Patching · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Patch My PC can be a strong fit for organizations already using Microsoft Configuration Manager or Intune” Perplexity Sonar · Patching · direct 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 Patch My PC. 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 48 of the 51 answers that named Patch My PC and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page patchmypc.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. Read September 29, 2026.
