SourceHut SourceHut: AI Visibility Report

sourcehuts.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about code hosting & collaboration, SourceHut ranks #7 of 15, a Visibility Score of 10 in Code Hosting & Collaboration .

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.

How AI sees SourceHut

One category, rank 7, and zero first picks tells the whole story.

Where it wins. SourceHut earns 14% of mentions in Code Hosting and Collaboration, and that budget-alternatives framing keeps it reliably surfaced when buyers are shopping for cheaper or simpler GitHub alternatives.

Where it loses. Rank 7 of 15 with no first-pick selections means the AI models treat SourceHut as a fallback name rather than a recommendation, and it never appears when prompts shift toward best overall, enterprise, startup, use-case, or feature comparisons.
