What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Start with SpamTitan if you need a standalone third-party tool on the absolute lowest budget.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Email security · budget prompt · first choice

“Best for budget-friendly secure email gateway protection” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Email security · budget prompt · first choice

“Best Standalone Budget Option: SpamTitan” Kimi K2 · Email security · budget prompt · first choice

“Both are highlighted as the "tightest budget" options, with starting prices as low as $2–2.50 per user per month.” Mistral Small · Email security · budget prompt · alternative

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.

“If you use SpamTitan versions before 8.00.101 or 8.01.14, you are actively at risk of full tenant takeover... complain about high false positives” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Email security · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SpamTitan. 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 35 of the 37 answers that named SpamTitan and are not a share of its labels.

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 SpamTitan'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 SpamTitan, 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 spamtitan.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.
