Evaluation stage
The battleground
How brands fare on comparison queries · category median 41/100
Stripe Terminal edges comparison queries with a 57 average evaluation score across 3 queries. Chargebee follows at 53 (4 queries), Wave at 52 (3 queries). The median evaluation score sits at 41, with most brands clustering between 41 and 48. Evaluation performance is compressed — no breakaway leader.
Each brand's evaluation score averages how AI responds to head-to-head comparison queries that mention them. Above-median brands win their comparisons more often than they lose.
Trends
Over the last 12 months
Too few audits to establish a trend. Two months of data (March 2026: 59 avg score across 15 samples; April 2026: 63 across 32 samples) show a 4-point uptick, but sample size is insufficient for pattern recognition. Suitedash rose 14 points, Paddle fell 16.
