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.
“Choose Snyk if you want a seamless developer experience with early vulnerability detection and integrated security scanning.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SCA · comparative prompt · first choice
“Choose Snyk if you have a budget and want the best developer-first integration and workflow tools.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SCA · comparative prompt · first choice
“Start with Snyk for most mid-market B2B due to its balance, high adoption, and dev-centric design” Grok 4.20 · SCA · direct prompt · first choice
“If I had to pick one for a typical mid-market B2B software company, I'd start with Snyk Open Source” GPT-6 Luna · SCA · 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.
“enterprise buyers often cite "unpredictable ballooning costs"... some procurement models recommend avoiding it if strict cost-prediction budgets are required” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SCA · negative prompt · soft negative
“Snyk is proprietary software. A mid-sized B2B company might prefer Trivy or Dependency-Check to avoid vendor lock-in and licensing costs” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SCA · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“limited policy flexibility, poor data quality for complex remediations, high false positives in transitives, and costs spike” Grok 4.20 · SCA · negative prompt · soft negative
“Limited reachability analysis means Snyk flags many vulnerabilities that aren't actually exploitable” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SCA · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Snyk Open Source. 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 172 of the 177 answers that named Snyk Open Source and are not a share of its labels.
