SaaS Procurement & Spend: AI Visibility Ranking

Platforms for buying, renewing, and managing SaaS spend. Right now, Zylo is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 74 and the #1 spot in 32% of answers. Head-to-head: Zylo vs Vendr →

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.

Zylo leads clearly, but Vendr and Torii keep it honest.

Zylo is the nearest thing to a default answer here, appearing in 96% of responses and holding a double-digit score gap over everyone else. Vendr is the only real challenger on first-pick rate at 31%, though Torii quietly outscores it on Claude. Zluri is the oddest case in the set: Claude rates it at 73 while ChatGPT and Gemini sit below 20, a model-disagreement gap that wide usually signals a brand with a narrow but vocal presence in certain training data.

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: SAP Ariba (6.1), Google Workspace (3.9), Cleanshelf (3.9), Sastrify (3.5), Jaggaer (3.3). 64 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 26/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
