Skimmer vs Jobber

Skimmer dominates every category; Jobber holds no exclusive ground. Skimmer's 87 visibility score against Jobber's 58 is driven by something structural: Skimmer is the first pick in 83% of answers while Jobber never claims the top slot, meaning all three models treat Skimmer as the default recommendation rather than a supporting option. The separation is sharpest on use-case fit and the direct 'if you could pick one' question, where Skimmer sweeps completely. Jobber stays in the conversation, appearing in 74% of answers, but always as a secondary name, and Claude's 64 score for Jobber is the one model where the gap narrows slightly, though not enough to shift the verdict on any theme.
