Questions about CRM in AI answers
Which CRM do AI answers name most?
Over the last four weeks, the brands AI answers named most often across our CRM questions were HubSpot (222 of 236 answers), Pipedrive (228 of 293 answers) and Salesforce (108 of 293 answers). That is how often a name shows up, not a ranking of quality. By engine: ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode.
Do ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode name the same CRM most often?
All 3 engines with enough runs name HubSpot most often. The widest split is on Salesforce: Google AI Mode names it in 55% of its answers, ChatGPT in 11%.
How is this measured?
Each week the same 5 CRM buyer questions are asked as written in logged-out US sessions of ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode. A brand's figure is the share of the answers that score it which name it, over a rolling four weeks. Where a name sits inside an answer is not a rank.

How we measure
Each question is asked as written, from a logged-out United States session on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode.
How is a score calculated?
On a category board, the score is the share of every valid run across that category's questions that names the brand, over a rolling four weeks, with a 95% Wilson interval. Rows are ordered by the low end of that interval, so a brand named on one question cannot outrank one named across the category. A brand named in fewer than 10 runs, or on only one question, sits below the line as low confidence. On a question page the share is of that question's runs. Where a name sits in the answer is not a rank.
Which brands count where?
Names are matched to a reviewed brand list, and a brand counts only on questions in its own category. Names that are ordinary words, such as Streak, Loops and Instantly, count only when the answer clearly means the product. A CRM named as an integration in a meeting-notes answer is not a point on the meeting-notes board. A brand named in the question itself, as in “alternatives to Profound”, is not scored on that question, so those runs count neither for nor against it. A name that is not on the list stays off the board until a person adds it.
Will this match a signed-in chat?
A logged-out session has no memory and no personalization, so a signed-in person can see a different answer.
Cited pages are the sources that engine marked as citations, not every link in the raw response.
