Four of fourteen models named PayAnalytics first on the direct prompt; zero named Figures. PayAnalytics was named by eleven of the fourteen models and Figures by nine and PayAnalytics carries 24 labels and Figures 15, so the shares are not directly comparable.
Named in one category this edition.
Named in three categories this edition.
Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the pay equity page.
Across every category in the October 2026 Edition, PayAnalytics and Figures were named in the same answer fourteen times, of the 63 answers naming PayAnalytics and the 75 naming Figures. In those answers Figures took the first choice one time and PayAnalytics five.
