B2B BNPL and net terms for small business buyers

Asked as “B2B buy now pay later provider”, and as “net terms financing for B2B sales”, on behalf of a small B2B company. 48 first choices recorded across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts, fourteen models each. Added to the October 2026 Edition on October 4, 2026; its answers are read by the distilled judge (ai-indexes-judge-qwen3-14b-run3), not the claude-opus-5 judge of the earlier categories: how the two compare.

What they warned about

Three of fourteen models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4 mini, Perplexity Sonar, Grok 4.1 Fast, Mistral Small, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen 3.7 Flash, Kimi K2, GLM 4.7 FlashX, MiniMax M2.5 and Muse Glimmer 30B changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.
Hokodo
41%
9 of 22 labels negative · 7 of 14 models · 8 hard negative
“Hokodo officially shut down operations after citing issues with scaling too quickly and product complexity. All Hokodo debts were sold off to debt collection agencies.” Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt
Fundbox
59%
10 of 17 labels negative · 5 of 14 models · 5 hard negative
“Fundbox/Bluevine – These are working-capital lenders, not true BNPL net-term providers. They are recourse-based” DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt
TreviPay
36%
8 of 22 labels negative · 5 of 14 models · 2 hard negative
“charge setup fees in the five figures and have monthly minimums — avoid these if you're on a tight budget” Kimi K2, budget prompt
Sprinque
100%
4 of 4 labels negative · 4 of 14 models · 4 hard negative
“Another notable Amsterdam-based B2B trade credit and BNPL provider that completely ceased operations.” Gemini 3.5 Flash, negative prompt

What they cite

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list: fourteen of the fourteen in this edition, and all six flagship models on the expanded tier.

Sites the answers cite

79 of 84 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 14 of 14 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 1161 links across 266 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. None of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category.

The ten pages named in the most answers, by full address. A page here is one the models returned with a recommendation, not one the index endorses.

Search against answers

Each company's standing in the answers beside its site's footprint in Google search, one row a site: the products the models named on it with their shares, and the share they add up to; monthly searches on Google, and DataForSEO's estimate of AI search demand (modeled from search signals, directional, not a count of queries to any assistant), for the most-searched of the company's and its products' names (the name is in each row's hover text); estimated monthly organic visits to the site; and its best position in Google's top ten for “b2b bnpl and net terms providers”, “b2b buy now pay later provider”. US estimates from DataForSEO and Google's Ads Transparency Center. A small company's site, or a mid-sized company's site for its flagship, is marked company; a product on a large parent's site (Google, Microsoft) has no site figures. A column with no figures for this category is left out, and an empty cell means none were seen, not none exist. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How they answered

Six framings of the same buying question, each sent to every model in a fresh session with search on. One row per model, so a row shows whether it held its answer under rewording, what it named when cost was the constraint, and what it argued against. Computed from the raw judge labels.
