October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.7, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

4 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. RescueTime was named 4 times in Employee monitoring, where ActivTrak led with 33%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named RescueTime 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 RescueTime yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

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

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you want employees to see their own productivity data → Insightful or RescueTime” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Employee monitoring · comparative prompt · alternative

“RescueTime / Rize — Best for Automatic Time Tracking” Kimi K2 · Employee monitoring · comparative prompt · alternative

“Best for Productivity Analytics: RescueTime” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Employee monitoring · 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.

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. 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 RescueTime. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 4 of the 5 answers that named RescueTime and are not a share of its labels.
