## What the models said for it

- "Choose Adyen or Checkout.com if you have the internal tech team to build custom integrations and want the lowest possible processing costs" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Payment orchestration)
- "If you're a SaaS/marketplace needing flexible payment gateways → Stripe or Adyen" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, B2B payment acceptance)
- "you might actually find a sophisticated "Enterprise PSP" (like Adyen or Stripe Atlas Enterprise) is better, despite not being a full MoR" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Merchants of record)
- "Choose Adyen if a large multinational needs consolidated acquiring and local payment methods across many markets." (Perplexity Sonar, B2B payment acceptance)

## And against it

- "Why NOT Stripe Connect or Adyen for Platforms for Mid-Market B2B?" (Kimi K2, Payment orchestration)
- "Adyen is notoriously difficult to work with for smaller players... Who to avoid: Startups and SMEs who need flexibility and quick approvals." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Payment orchestration)
- "their smart routing generally improves performance within their own ecosystems rather than acting as a neutral layer across competitors" (Perplexity Sonar, Payment orchestration)
- "B2B marketplaces using mainstream PSPs (like Stripe, Adyen, or Worldpay) may face stricter onboarding and risk management" (Mistral Small, B2B payment acceptance)
