October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.8, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

4 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Timescale Cloud was named 4 times in Time series DBs, where TimescaleDB led with 63%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named Timescale Cloud for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Timescale Cloud 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

How each model treated Timescale Cloud across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

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.

“Databases like Timescale (Timescale Cloud), ClickHouse (ClickHouse Cloud), and InfluxDB offer excellent managed services.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Time series DBs · scale prompt · alternative

“use TimescaleDB, which sits on top of Postgres to solve these exact problems” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Time series DBs · negative 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.

“Timescale Cloud and Amazon Timestream are alternatives, but they are not typically the cheapest choices for a budget-conscious team” Perplexity Sonar · Time series DBs · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Timescale Cloud. 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 8 of the 10 answers that named Timescale Cloud and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page timescale.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. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as Timescale Cloud

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 Timescale Cloud'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 Timescale Cloud, 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 Timescale Cloud by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Timescale Cloud 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 Timescale Cloud, 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.
