Movement

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

“Pingdom covers a wide range of website monitoring needs, including uptime monitoring, real user monitoring, and synthetic testing, and is more small-business friendly” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Uptime monitoring · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Dedicated Uptime | Pingdom, Dotcom-Tool, StatusCake | Pure uptime monitoring, strong status pages, good global coverage.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Uptime monitoring · scale prompt · first choice

“I'd suggest Better Stack or Pingdom as they balance comprehensive features with reasonable pricing” MiniMax M2.5 · Uptime monitoring · direct prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend Pingdom as a strong top choice.” Grok 4.20 · Uptime monitoring · 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.

“Aggressive pricing... Outdated metrics... False positives... Poor UI/UX... Limited integrations” MiniMax M2.5 · Uptime monitoring · negative prompt · hard negative

“reliable for uptime, transaction, and page load monitoring but lacks deep infrastructure and protocol-level checks” Llama 4 Maverick · Infra monitoring · negative prompt · soft negative

“Reliable and heavily used, though some find the interface a bit dated compared to modern alternatives” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Uptime monitoring · scale prompt · soft negative

“Not necessarily "avoid," but many teams leave it due to cost escalation and outdated metrics.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Uptime monitoring · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Pingdom. 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 99 of the 114 answers that named Pingdom and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page pingdom.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.

Names read as Pingdom

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Pingdom; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

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

where Pingdom 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 Pingdom, 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 Pingdom is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

Pingdom is among the products AI models recommend first in Website and synthetic monitoring 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.
