Afterpay

80/100

Afterpay fits retailers seeking quick, interest-free pay-in-4 solutions to boost conversion on smaller purchases. Its consumer shopping app drives repeat merchant traffic. However, teams selling high-consideration items needing 12+ month financing will find Affirm's terms more suitable.

Splitit

70/100

Splitit suits merchants selling premium goods who want to offer installments without underwriting new loans or managing consumer credit risk. It integrates seamlessly for teams prioritizing checkout speed over acquisition marketing. Best for businesses whose customers already carry credit cards with available limits.
