## What the models said for it

- "NMI is specifically marketed for mid-size SaaS/ISV embedding without becoming a PayFac" (Muse Glimmer 30B, Embedded payments)
- "B2B payment gateways like Adyen, Checkout.com, or NMI" (GPT-5.4 mini, B2B payment acceptance)
- "NMI (Network Merchants) - Best for Software Companies" (MiniMax M2.5, Embedded payments)

## And against it
