Verbatim excerpt from one collected ChatGPT answer; formatting flattened, words untouched.

Cvent owns this question completely, appearing first in all 9 answers across every model, while Bizzabo holds a solid runner-up slot at an average position of 2.8 but never breaks through to a top recommendation. The 42-brand spread and Dubsado's total absence despite a category rank of 8 show how AI visibility and category rankings can diverge sharply, which matters for any brand allocating share-of-voice budgets.
