720 answers across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude together, October 2026. These are AI answers, not market shares. The three assistants share a favorite on 3 of 8 questions.
Places count every brand AI names, so the numbers can jump. "=" is a tie. "–" means AI never names it first.
Procore holds the general question, and we would not expect that to change soon. The opening is lower down: one assistant names JobTread, Contractor Foreman and Fieldwire where the other two stay with Buildertrend and Procore. For a challenger, one assistant is already an open door. For a leader, it is where the position is weakest.
ProcoreAll three agree.
Answers vary from one ask to the next, and the apps can search the web and remember the person asking. That is why we ask each question 90 times without web search and 36 times with it.
