What AI assistants actually recommend when buyers ask about learning management systems — measured on a rolling 4-week window across 5 engines, published as open data.
Updated 2026-09-17 · 35 sampled answers · rolling 4-week window · methodology
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 Sep 17, 2026
Sample: 35 AI answers · Window: Aug 20, 2026 – Sep 17, 2026 (4-week rolling) · trend vs prior 4 weeks (56 answers)
Samples by engine: GROK 7 (last run Sep 2, 2026) · GEMINI 7 (last run Sep 2, 2026) · CHATGPT 7 (last run Sep 2, 2026) · CLAUDE 7 (last run Sep 3, 2026) · PERPLEXITY 7 (last run Sep 2, 2026 — stalest)
How these numbers are made: sampling design · prompt provenance · what counts as a mention · what we cannot see

Across 35 sampled AI answers from 5 engines, TalentLMS is recommended most often — appearing in 57.1% of recommendations, followed by Docebo (54.3%) and Moodle (45.7%).
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 learning management systems and sampled 35 answers between Aug 20, 2026 and Sep 17, 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.
Seven prompts split across five intents, and the leaders change with the question. Docebo led best_in_category at 66.7% of 18 runs and recommendation at 100% of 9 runs. TalentLMS led problem_solving at 55.6% of 18 runs, covering questions about delivering and tracking company training. Moodle led alternatives at 100% of 9 runs and comparison at 66.7% of 9 runs, the intent that pits open-source against hosted commercial platforms. LearnUpon also reached 100% of the 9 recommendation runs, which include customer and partner training.
So the shortlist depends on which of those questions matches the buying case. One price is on record. TalentLMS lists Core at $119 a month with a free tier available, last verified 2026-09-05. No pricing fact is recorded for the other four.

Reading the numbers: Share is a point estimate on 35 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.

Head-to-head pages for products ranked in Learning management systems. Each one sets out sourced facts side by side, plus which product AI assistants recommend more, engine by engine.
TalentLMS ranks first, recommended in 55.6% of 63 sampled answers in the 4-week window to 2026-09-05, and it over-indexes on affordable alternatives to expensive enterprise LMS platforms, where it was recommended in 100% of those 9 runs. The mention breakdown splits 13 recommended against 22 listed. Grok recommended it in 100% of Grok's 7 answers, Claude in 35.7% of Claude's 14. Core runs $119 a month with a free tier available, last verified 2026-09-05.
Docebo ranks second at 52.4% of 63 answers, and it over-indexes on best learning management systems for corporate employee training, recommended in 100% of those 9 runs. The split is 23 recommended against 10 listed. Grok recommended it in 71.4% of Grok's 7 answers, ChatGPT in 42.9% of ChatGPT's 14.
Moodle ranks third at 46% of 63 answers, over-indexing on affordable alternatives to expensive enterprise LMS platforms at 100% of those 9 runs. The split is 13 recommended against 16 listed. Grok recommended it in 85.7% of Grok's 7 answers, ChatGPT and Perplexity both in 35.7% of their 14.
LearnUpon ranks fourth at 38.1% of 63 answers, over-indexing on which LMS platform is best for customer and partner training programs at 100% of those 9 runs. That is a narrow prompt, so buyers outside customer and partner training see it less. The split is 9 recommended against 15 listed. Grok recommended it in 57.1% of Grok's 7 answers, Claude in 21.4% of Claude's 14.
Absorb ranks fifth at 36.5% of 63 answers, over-indexing on best learning management systems for corporate employee training at 100% of those 9 runs. The split is 10 recommended against 13 listed. Gemini and Grok recommended it in 57.1% of their answers, across 14 and 7 runs, with Claude and Perplexity at 21.4% of their 14.
Four of the five engines recommended TalentLMS most among the top five. Gemini across 14 answers, Grok across 7, ChatGPT across 14 and Perplexity across 14. Claude broke from that pattern and recommended Docebo most among the top five across its 14 answers.
TalentLMS also carries the widest gap between engines. Claude recommended it in 35.7% of Claude's 14 answers and Grok in 100% of Grok's 7, a spread of 64.3 points. That is the largest per-engine gap in the top five, and it sits on the same product four engines placed first. A buyer reading a single assistant would get a very different read on TalentLMS depending on which one it was. Grok's 7 answers is the smallest run count of the five engines.
This is the first measured window on record for learning management systems, covering 2026-08-08 to 2026-09-05 with 63 sampled answers across 5 engines. There is no prior window to compare against, so no entries, exits or share changes are recorded yet.
TalentLMS leads it, recommended in 55.6% of the 63 answers, followed by Docebo at 52.4% and Moodle at 46%. LearnUpon sits at 38.1% and Absorb at 36.5%. The gaps between those five are narrower than the confidence intervals in places, so the order can shift on the next resample without much movement in the underlying answers. Docebo took first position most often, first recommended in 9 runs. Moodle was first recommended in 8. The next window arrives with the roughly monthly resample, and the ranked field already runs to 68 products.
