The AI Visibility Index
Which PSP and Platform Cross-Border Settlement platforms does AI actually recommend?
12 buyer questions put to 4 models across 48 answers. 56 companies were named. This is who AI actually reaches for.
The leaderboard
Stripe leads at 39.6%, and the field is closer than it looks.
Every scan runs the same 12 purchase-intent questions through 4 models, then counts who gets named. One number, and a methodology you can audit.
Rates do not sum to 100. Most answers name several vendors, so a company's rate is its own share of answers rather than a slice of a fixed pie. Movement stays blank until two scans on this question set sit far enough apart to mean something. Runs close together differ by run-to-run LLM variance rather than by anything a brand did, so we would be publishing noise.
The shape
What a contested category looks like.
Each spoke is one company plotted at its true rate. A category with one dominant answer pulls into a spike. This one holds a broad face at the top, which is what a real fight for the consideration set looks like.
The full field
Ranks 13–56.
Below the reporting floor: PayAdmit, CellPoint Digital, Advapay, AnankAI, Veengu, BitPay, Binance, Gemini Custody, Tether, Stably, Okoora, Merge, and 64 more.

Frequently asked
What buyers ask about PSP and Platform Cross-Border Settlement.
- What is the best PSP and Platform Cross-Border Settlement platform?
- Stripe is named most often, appearing in 39.6% of AI answers to PSP and Platform Cross-Border Settlement buying questions. Wise is the closest competitor at 31.3%. "Best" here means most frequently recommended by AI, not a Catalyst opinion.
- How does AI decide which platforms to recommend?
- We run 12 real buyer questions through 4 AI models, extract every company named with an LLM pass, and normalize the results against a canonical entity registry. A brand's rank comes from how often it's actually named, not a fixed list we curated in advance.
- What are alternatives to Stripe?
- AI names Wise, Airwallex, Adyen, Payoneer as alternatives most often in this category, based on the same scan. Each has its own profile with the exact questions it wins and loses.
- Is being named by AI the same as ranking on Google?
- Related, not identical. Across our audits, most AI citations come from pages that already rank well in Google, so traditional SEO is the foundation, but AI answers also weight recent, well-cited content beyond the search results page. A brand can rank on Google and still be invisible in AI answers, or the reverse.
- How often is this leaderboard updated?
- This page reflects a scan from Sep 3, 2026. AI answers change as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are updated and as brands earn or lose citations, so the ranking is expected to move between scans.
