Ekos vs Vintrace

Ekos dominates overall; Vintrace still owns the best-overall question. Ekos leads by a wide margin, named in 82% of answers versus 43% for Vintrace, and wins five of eight question themes outright including use-case fit, startup recommendations, and the single-pick question. All three models favor Ekos, though Claude narrows the gap most, scoring Vintrace at 46 versus Ekos at 65, making it the one model where Vintrace is least disadvantaged. Vintrace's only clear win is the best-overall theme, a meaningful but thin foothold given how thoroughly Ekos controls the rest of the buying conversation.
