How AI sees Forgejo

A budget footnote in one field, going nowhere else.

Where it wins. Forgejo holds rank 6 of 15 in Code Hosting and Collaboration with a 13.9% mention rate, which means AI models do surface it when buyers are hunting for cheaper or open-source alternatives to mainstream platforms.

Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate tells the real story: Forgejo never anchors a recommendation, and its absence from enterprise, startup, feature-led, and use-case prompts means it only exists in the conversation when price or escape routes are the subject.
