How relevant, verifiable metrics drive AIMultiple’s rankings

AIMultiple uses relevant & verifiable metrics to evaluate vendors.

Metrics are selected based on typical enterprise procurement processes ensuring that market leaders, fast-growing challengers, feature-complete solutions and cost-effective solutions are ranked highly so they can be shortlisted.
Data regarding these metrics are collected from public sources as outlined in the “What are AIMultiple’s data sources?” section of this page.


There are 2 ways in which vendor metrics are processed to help prioritization:
1- Vendors are grouped within 4 metrics (customer satisfaction, market presence, growth and features) according to their performance in that metric.
2- Vendors that perform high in these metrics are ranked higher in the list.


The data used in each vendor’s ranking can be accessed by expanding the vendor’s row in the below list.
This page includes links to AIMultiple’s sponsors. Sponsored links are included in “Visit Website” buttons and ranked at the top of the list when results are sorted by “Sponsored”. Sponsors have no say over the ranking which is based on market data. Organic ranking can be seen by sorting by “AIMultiple” or other sorting approaches. For more on how AIMultiple works, please see the ethical standards that we follow and how we fund our research.

Which social media datasets solution provides the most customer satisfaction?

While deciding a product's level of customer satisfaction, AIMultiple takes into account its number of reviews, how reviewers rate it and the recency of reviews.

  • Number of reviews is important because it is easier to get a small number of high ratings than a high number of them.
  • Recency is important as products are always evolving.
  • Reviews older than 5 years are not taken into consideration
  • older than 12 months have reduced impact in average ratings in line with their date of publishing.
