Brand report · September 2026When 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.
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.
