Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 10 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Wise Business is the low-cost cross-border payments account for small to mid-sized businesses that want the mid-market FX rate and predictable transfer fees.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Cross-border payments · direct prompt · first choice
“making it one of the cheapest and most transparent options available... Cost and transparency first: Wise for mid-market rates and upfront percentage fees.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Cross-border payments · comparative prompt · first choice
“Wise Business is the strongest default choice for most businesses because it uses the real mid-market exchange rate and low, transparent fees” Perplexity Sonar · Cross-border payments · budget prompt · first choice
“The best cross-border payments platform for businesses on a limited budget is Wise, as it offers the cheapest way to send international payments” Llama 4 Maverick · Cross-border payments · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Automated compliance freezes happen more than expected ... don't rely on it as your sole business account” Kimi K2 · Contractor payments · negative prompt · hard negative
“What to Avoid for Hedging Needs: Wise Business ... it offers no FX hedging tools” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Cross-border payments · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“While tools like Wise Business or Payoneer can handle simple international transfers, they are not built to manage the full compliance and documentation requirements” Mistral Small · Contractor payments · negative prompt · soft negative
“Startups can start with simple transfer tools like Wise, but growing companies need contracts, compliance, and payments in one place.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Contractor payments · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Wise Business. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 292 of the 311 answers that named Wise Business and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page wise.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Wise Business's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Wise Business, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Wise Business by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Wise Business is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Wise Business, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at wise.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
