## Warned against

- Stripe: 9 of 15 labels negative. "Avoid "Blended" Rates: Platforms like Stripe (standard tier) charge 2.9% + $0.30 regardless of card type... this will be unpredictable and expensive." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, budget prompt)
- Payone: 3 of 3 labels negative. "Large global enterprises should look elsewhere." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt)
- Checkout.com: 3 of 15 labels negative. "Not "pure-play" neutral orchestrators... creating routing bias (favoring own rails for margins), PSP lock-in" (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt)
