By question type

Where Windscribe shows up, by the intent behind the question. Every vpn services panel asks the same balanced mix — 10 prompts per type — so these rates are directly comparable. A gap here (strong on recommendations, invisible on comparisons) is where AI visibility is being won or lost.
