## What the models said for it

- "Intruder is the clear leader with 49% first-choice share... That is the current model-consensus pick for general mid-market suitability." (Muse Glimmer 30B, ASM)
- "For most mid-sized B2B companies, Intruder.io offers the best balance of affordability, ease of use, and comprehensive coverage." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, ASM)
