Stripe

85/100

Stripe excels for engineering teams building custom payment flows and embedded financial products through robust APIs. It offers superior developer experience and broader fintech capabilities than Adyen, but lacks equivalent depth in unified in-store commerce and direct global acquiring licenses.

Braintree

68/100

Braintree excels for engineering teams prioritizing rapid API integration and PayPal wallet acceptance. It serves digital-first merchants well but lacks Adyen's unified commerce infrastructure for brick-and-mortar integration. Best for online and mobile app businesses rather than global omnichannel retailers.
