Vendr Vendr: AI Visibility Report

vendr.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about saas procurement & spend, Vendr ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 62 in SaaS Procurement & Spend .

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 Vendr

Strong second in one race, nowhere else.

Where it wins. Vendr lands in 82% of procurement conversations, and the 'Best overall' prompt theme drives most of that volume, showing AI models treat it as a credible default answer in SaaS spend management.

Where it loses. First-pick rate sits at just 25%, meaning three out of four times Vendr surfaces in a recommendation it trails something else, and with Zylo and Torii consistently co-mentioned, the models rarely hand Vendr the top slot outright.
