These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Curve Dental leads, but Open Dental is breathing down its neck.

Six points separate the top two brands across 72 answers, and neither has locked in a reliable first-pick position, Curve Dental earns that honor only 13% of the time, Open Dental just 11%. Dentrix is the outlier worth watching: it wins the first-pick slot 38% of the time despite ranking third overall, driven almost entirely by Claude's unusually strong preference for it. Eaglesoft and CareStack sit close in overall score but in opposite realities, Claude gives Eaglesoft 62.5 while nearly ignoring CareStack, and Gemini does the reverse.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Microsoft Azure (2.5), RevenueWell (2.4), GCP (2.2), Practice-Web (2.1), Microsoft Entra ID (1.9). 53 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.
