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.

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“If I had to pick one for a budget-conscious company with someone technical to manage it, I'd start with Shuffle's self-hosted SOAR.” GPT-6 Luna · SOAR · budget prompt · first choice
“Shuffle open-source gives full SOAR capabilities at no license cost... It is regularly recommended for budget-limited orgs.” Muse Glimmer 30B · SOAR · budget prompt · first choice
“| $0 budget, have Linux/DevOps skills | Shuffle (self-hosted) | Full-featured, free, large community |” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SOAR · budget prompt · first choice
“the strongest overall choice is usually Shuffle (open source) if you have some engineering capacity” Perplexity Sonar · SOAR · budget prompt · first choice
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.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 34 of the 36 answers that named Shuffle and are not a share of its labels.
108 of the 116 domain citations in answers naming Shuffle came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Every page shuffler.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. Read September 29, 2026.
An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

What Shuffle's own pages state, read September 28, 2026: shuffler.io, shuffler.io/pricing, trust.shuffler.io, shuffler.io/partners. A claimed page can correct any of them.
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 Shuffle'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 Shuffle, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Shuffle by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
Shuffle is among the products AI models recommend first in SOAR platforms 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.
Badges read on light and dark pages. Alt text carries the claim, the category, the edition and the index, so it stays a citation where the image does not load.
