September 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table vv2026-09.1, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

7 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. ActivePresenter was named 7 times in Course authoring tools, where Articulate 360 led with 22%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named ActivePresenter for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for ActivePresenter yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated ActivePresenter across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“ActivePresenter Pro stands out for its balance of advanced features, cost efficiency, and suitability for software training.” Mistral Small · Course authoring tools · direct prompt · first choice

“Budget-friendly but more full-featured desktop authoring: ActivePresenter” Perplexity Sonar · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice

“ActivePresenter is the absolute best value on the market” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice

“Best for: Screen recording and video-based courses” Kimi K2 · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ActivePresenter. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 10 of the 12 answers that named ActivePresenter and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when ActivePresenter's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as ActivePresenter, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at the vendor's own domain is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
