Movement

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

“Smallest budget / tech comfort: Start with Moodle (free) and host your own materials or use free community courses.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Online course libraries · budget prompt · first choice

“Moodle - An open-source learning management system that's completely free to self-host, with no licensing fees” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Learning experience plat · budget prompt · first choice

“If you have technical staff: Go with Moodle (free, unlimited users, highly customizable)” Kimi K2 · Learning management syst · budget prompt · first choice

“Open-source tools like Moodle and H5P are ideal if you have minimal budget” Claude Haiku 4.5 · 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.

“Moodle versions before 3.11 ... No more security patches or bug fixes. ... Avoid using these platforms for production environments” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Learning management syst · negative prompt · hard negative

“older versions of Moodle or Sakai... Hidden Maintenance Costs: You must host, secure, and update the platform yourself.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Learning management syst · negative prompt · soft negative

“"Free" open-source platforms like Moodle often cost $1,000–$6,000/year in hosting + maintenance, plus technical time.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Learning management syst · budget prompt · soft negative

“Only choose Moodle if you have dedicated technical staff for security maintenance” Kimi K2 · Learning management syst · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Moodle. 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 90 of the 116 answers that named Moodle 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 Moodle'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 Moodle, 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 moodle.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.
