What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Start with LeaveBoard. It allows you to manage leave professionally at zero cost while your company is small.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Leave · budget prompt · first choice

“LeaveBoard is the safest recommendation for a small company that needs a low-cost, straightforward system” Perplexity Sonar · Leave · budget prompt · first choice

“For a company with a limited budget, I'd recommend starting with LeaveBoard” MiniMax M2.5 · Leave · budget prompt · first choice

“such as Timetastic, LeaveBoard, or Vacation Tracker. These options are affordable” Llama 4 Maverick · Leave · 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named LeaveBoard. 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 55 of the 60 answers that named LeaveBoard 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 LeaveBoard'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 LeaveBoard, 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 leaveboard.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.
