Rankings are measured from sampled AI answers — never editorial, never paid. Orbator builds AI-visibility tooling; when Orbator itself appears in any category, it is measured by the same rules as everyone else.
Measured by Orbatormethodology owner Henrik Tellewindow ends Oct 13, 2026
Sample: 25 AI answers · Window: Sep 15, 2026 – Oct 13, 2026 (4-week rolling) · trend vs prior 4 weeks (35 answers)

This is a measurement of share of voice across 5 AI engines — not an editorial pick. See the full ranking below.
Orbator asked Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity buyer questions about expense management software and sampled 25 answers between Sep 15, 2026 and Oct 13, 2026. Recommendation share counts the answers that recommended or listed a product, so a passing mention or a warning adds nothing to it. A category publishes once it holds at least 20 independently sampled answers in the window. Read the full methodology or download this ranking as CSV.

Reading the numbers: Share is a point estimate on 25 sampled answers, so each row also shows its 95% CI — the Wilson score interval around that share. When two products' intervals overlap, the gap between them isn't statistically meaningful at this sample size. First pick is the share of a product's recommending answers where it was named first, which separates “always mentioned” from “usually the top recommendation”. Full methodology.
