What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure: Highly recommended for enterprise environments, especially those heavily invested in the Microsoft, OpenAI, and GitHub ecosystems.
Gemini
Vercel
There is no single universal answer—AI assistants disproportionately suggest Vercel because so many generated web apps are React/Next.js—but for a real buyer I would choose based on the app’s runtime and operational needs, not on model habit.
ChatGPT
Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Microsoft Azure and Vercel both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Vercel ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
