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.

By model

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

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Redis is the most popular and versatile key-value store... ideal for mid-sized B2B applications” Mistral Small · NoSQL · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Redis receiving the highest rating of 8.9 among the leaders” Claude Haiku 4.5 · NoSQL · comparative prompt · first choice
“Key-Value Stores Top Examples: Redis, Amazon DynamoDB” Qwen 3.7 Flash · NoSQL · comparative prompt · first choice
“Redis dominating performance-critical use cases” Kimi K2 · NoSQL · comparative 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.

“Redis changed to RSALv2+SSPL licensing in 2024 - The shift to more restrictive licenses affects commercial use and portability” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Managed databases · negative prompt · hard negative
“Redis is extremely fast but should be used with caution for data that needs to persist on disk or for applications requiring complex queries” Mistral Small · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative
“Cautious when: Using it as a primary database rather than a cache — it's an in-memory store, and data durability can be a concern.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative
“early versions lacked auth. Redis 7+ is solid; use ACLs and avoid as a primary durable store unless clustered with persistence.” Grok 4.20 · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Redis. 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 137 of the 166 answers that named Redis and are not a share of its labels.

As the event pages on redis.io state them, read September 28, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page redis.io 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.

What Redis's own pages state, read September 28, 2026: redis.io, redis.io/pricing, trust.redis.io, redis.io/solutions, redis.io/customers. A claimed page can correct 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 Redis'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 Redis, 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 Redis by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Redis 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 Redis, 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.

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at redis.io is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
