## What the models said for it

- "For truly limited budgets, Adyen's pay-per-transaction model or IXOPAY's starter tier at €199/month offer the lowest entry points" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Payment orchestration)
- "Accept payments from business customers online or inside a product: compare Stripe and Adyen." (GPT-6 Luna, B2B payment acceptance)
- "For a modern, high-growth tech/SaaS B2B company: Choose Adyen." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Payment orchestration)
- "Most cost-effective for high-volume international B2B." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, B2B payment acceptance)

## And against it

- "Avoid heavyweight enterprise platforms like Adyen unless you already have enough volume to justify them" (GPT-5.4 mini, Payment orchestration)
- "More complex and enterprise-focused; may exceed the needs of smaller mid-market firms" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, B2B payment acceptance)
- "Handles scale without enterprise bloat (unlike Adyen or Rapyd's full stacks)" (Grok 4.1 Fast, Payment orchestration)
