Claude is Anthropic’s AI assistant, used heavily for research and professional work. Its product recommendations reach a technical, high-intent audience. These are the people who evaluate tools before their companies buy them.
How we query it
We put the identical question set to Claude through the official model API, with web search on, rather than through the Claude app, and record which brands it recommends and in what order. Scores reflect the share and prominence of those mentions on a 0-100 scale, using the same method as every other model.
This column is quoted on the official Claude API with web search enabled, not the consumer app. True browser listings, recorded from the consumer apps, arrive with WDIR Ranked, the Pro product. WDIR Ranked · Coming soon
How its column behaves
Claude typically qualifies its recommendations by use case (“for a small team”, “if budget matters”), so a brand’s position can differ from the market-share order other models follow.
