When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about email marketing, EmailOctopus ranks #13 of 15, a Visibility Score of 8 in Email Marketing .
These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.
One race, one category, sitting 13th of 15.
Where it wins. EmailOctopus earns its only AI foothold through budget and alternatives prompts, where frugal buyers comparing cheap email tools pull it into the conversation alongside Brevo and MailerLite. A 12.5% mention rate means it surfaces roughly one in eight times that category is queried.
Where it loses. Seven prompt themes, including best overall, startup fit, and feature-led asks, return no trace of EmailOctopus, and its first-pick rate is zero, meaning models position it as a price footnote rather than a considered recommendation.
