+3 ahead of Celoxis

ClickUp leads a wide-open slot, but no brand owns this question for marketing agencies managing multiple clients.

ClickUp scores 83 and appears in all 12 answers across all three models, giving it the broadest footprint, yet the slot is rated open because no tool commands enough position-weighted share to dominate outright. Celoxis is the closest challenger, matching ClickUp's 100% mention rate with a score of 80, and the answers consistently frame it as the stronger pick for agencies that need portfolio-level financial visibility and resource planning rather than general task management. monday.com and Asana fill out the middle of nearly every list but land at average positions 4 and 5, meaning AI recommends them but rarely first. For any brand looking to take this question, the open status signals a real opportunity: a consistent top-two finish across models and phrasings is achievable, and nobody has locked it down.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:

• "What's the best project management tool for a marketing agency managing many clients?"
• "We're a marketing agency juggling a dozen client accounts at once. Which project management tool should we use?"
