Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for H5P 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 H5P 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.

“Open-source tools like Moodle and H5P are ideal if you have minimal budget, as they're completely free” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice
“The best eLearning authoring tool for a company with a limited budget is H5P, a free, open-source tool” Llama 4 Maverick · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice
“### 1. H5P (Free/Open Source) ... No budget at all | Start with H5P or iSpring Free” Kimi K2 · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice
“H5P is described as the most capable free option for budget-constrained teams” Perplexity Sonar · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · first choice

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.

“This tool is seen as quite basic and may not offer the depth or features required for more complex eLearning projects” Mistral Small · Course authoring tools · negative prompt · hard negative
“Too basic for anything beyond simple interactives; lacks depth for professional courses.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Course authoring tools · negative prompt · hard negative
“great for individual interactive components, but hard to build an entire course with” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Course authoring tools · negative prompt · soft negative
“H5P (open source, but requires more assembly)” Kimi K2 · Course authoring tools · scale prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named H5P. 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 41 of the 53 answers that named H5P 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 H5P'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 H5P, 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 h5p.org 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.
