## What the models said for it

- "I'd start with Stripe if you already use Stripe. It's likely the best *low-overhead* choice" (GPT-6 Luna, Stablecoin platforms)
- "I recommend Stripe (specifically Stripe Crypto)" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Stablecoin platforms)
- "Excellent if your B2B flows involve fiat gateways, invoicing, or hybrid payments... slightly less "pure" infrastructure than Circle." (Grok 4.20, Stablecoin platforms)
- "If you already run on Stripe or need developer-first stablecoin orchestration, Stripe + Bridge is the infrastructure play" (Muse Glimmer 30B, Stablecoin platforms)

## And against it

- "Stripe (1.5% but requires existing integration)" (Kimi K2, Stablecoin platforms)
- "Avoid for Pure B2B: Stripe" (Kimi K2, Stablecoin platforms)
- "pricing and compliance requirements are generally better suited to companies already using Stripe or operating at scale" (Perplexity Sonar, Stablecoin platforms)
