What AI assistants actually recommend when buyers ask about sms marketing tools — measured on a rolling 4-week window across 5 engines, published as open data.
Updated 2026-10-13 · 42 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 Oct 13, 2026
Sample: 42 AI answers · Window: Sep 15, 2026 – Oct 13, 2026 (4-week rolling) · trend vs prior 4 weeks (63 answers)
Samples by engine: GROK 10 (last run Sep 30, 2026) · GEMINI 10 (last run Sep 30, 2026) · CLAUDE 10 (last run Sep 30, 2026) · PERPLEXITY 10 (last run Sep 30, 2026) · CHATGPT 2 (last run Sep 30, 2026 — stalest)
How these numbers are made: sampling design · prompt provenance · what counts as a mention · what we cannot see

Across 42 sampled AI answers from 5 engines, Twilio is recommended most often — appearing in 45.2% of recommendations, followed by Klaviyo (35.7%) and SimpleTexting (33.3%).
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, Claude, Perplexity and ChatGPT buyer questions about sms marketing tools and sampled 42 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 42 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.
Independence: Orbator customers are badged for disclosure. Customer status does not affect prompts, sampling, extraction, or ranking — see the methodology. Your product on this list? Claim it to see the prompts behind your rank and track it weekly.
