Movement

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

By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“I'd start with Substly or CostLoop as they specifically target small businesses with affordable entry points” MiniMax M2.5 · SaaS management · budget prompt · first choice

“the best SaaS management platforms are Substly and Josys” Mistral Small · SaaS management · budget prompt · first choice

“Substly offers the best value for small businesses with its flat-rate pricing” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SaaS management · budget prompt · alternative

“From ~$100-105/month flat for small orgs, strong on spend tracking.” Grok 4.1 Fast · SaaS management · 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Substly. 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 34 of the 34 answers that named Substly and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page substly.com 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 October 5, 2026.

Names read as Substly

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Substly; a claim can dispute 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 Substly'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 Substly, 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 Substly by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Substly 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 Substly, 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.
