What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Brex is best if you run a mid-market company and want a corporate card plus treasury and vault services in one platform.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Business banking · direct prompt · first choice
“Brex (Best for High-Velocity Startups) ... high credit lines, virtual cards for security, and excellent employee management” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Corporate cards · comparative prompt · first choice
“Brex offers both banking and corporate card services designed for venture-backed startups and mid-market companies” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Business banking · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Ramp, Brex, and Zoho Expense, which are often cited as friendlier alternatives — especially for small teams” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Expense management · negative 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.
“Brex abruptly decided to stop servicing traditional small businesses, giving tens of thousands ... just 60 days to move their funds” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Business banking · negative prompt · hard negative
“it is not recommended for limited-budget companies unless you are venture-backed” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Corporate cards · budget prompt · hard negative
“Brex requires businesses to hold at least $400,000 in monthly revenue for mid-market underwriting. This shuts out many bootstrapped or lower-revenue businesses.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Corporate cards · direct prompt · soft negative
“the platform may see shifts in product direction and pricing, which is something to keep in mind if you are looking for long-term platform stability” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Corporate cards · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

The products named in the same answers as Brex, over the 539 answers that named it. Took the first choice instead counts the answers where the other product was the first choice and Brex was named but was not.
ProductSame answerTook the first choice insteadHead to head
A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Brex. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 412 of the 539 answers that named Brex and are not a share of its labels.

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 Brex'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 Brex, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at brex.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.
Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
