What stands out

Three things the answers show.

Read straight from the 120 answers: who ChatGPT names, who it puts first, and whose pages it reads.

1

Buffer is named most

In 92 of 120 answers (77%). Metricool came next with 56.

2

Metricool: named often, rarely first

Named in 56 answers but listed first in 12. Buffer was first in 45. Being on the list is not the same as being the pick.

3

ChatGPT reads the brands’ own sites

7 of the 8 sites it used most belong to brands it named. Buffer’s buffer.com was in 87 answers. github.com, not a brand’s own site, was in 13.

The ranking

Who ChatGPT named, and who came first.

Named: ChatGPT suggested the brand as an option in that answer. First pick: it was the first option listed. Counted over 120 answers; ties in answers are broken by first picks.
