Head-to-head · September 2026 snapshot

Manhattan Associates vs Extensiv

Manhattan Associates leads overall; Extensiv owns budget, startups, and ChatGPT. Manhattan Associates holds the top rank on the strength of Claude's score of 58 and Gemini's preference, winning the enterprise and feature-led questions where positioning depth matters most. Extensiv actually gets named more often overall, appearing in 58% of answers versus 50%, but lands further down the list and almost never earns the first pick at 13% versus 22%. ChatGPT is the one model where Extensiv flips the result, and that edge runs through the use-case, startup, and budget question themes where buyers are shopping on price or fit rather than capability breadth.
