Movement

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

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“For the tightest budget, I'd suggest starting with Creately or Teamflect since they have free tiers.” MiniMax M2.5 · Succession planning · budget prompt · first choice

“Organimi (for up to 25 users) or Creately are the best choices” Mistral Small · Org charts · budget prompt · first choice

“a well-organized spreadsheet plus a free visual tool (like Creately) is honestly more than enough and costs nothing” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Succession planning · budget prompt · alternative

“free or low-cost tools (Lucidchart, Creately, even Visio/Illustrator) often beat the premium enterprise platforms” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Org charts · negative 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.

“sometimes Creately are often described as manual diagramming tools” Perplexity Sonar · Org charts · negative prompt · soft negative

“more of a diagramming tool than a true org-design platform” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Org charts · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Creately. 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 76 of the 76 answers that named Creately 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 Creately'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 Creately, 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 creately.com 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.
