Movement

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

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.

“For a genuinely limited budget, SimpleRisk is the standout choice — its core platform is free, open source, with unlimited users” DeepSeek V4 Flash · GRC · budget prompt · first choice

“likely to be one that offers basic GRC capabilities for small teams, such as SimpleRisk, Hyperproof, or LogicGate” Llama 4 Maverick · GRC · budget prompt · first choice

“If you want the single best pick on value, SimpleRisk is a strong default” Perplexity Sonar · GRC · budget prompt · first choice

“For absolute minimal budget: Start with SimpleRisk (free)” Kimi K2 · GRC · budget 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SimpleRisk. 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 34 of the 36 answers that named SimpleRisk 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 SimpleRisk'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 SimpleRisk, 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 simplerisk.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.
