The big idea
AI can build a clean side-by-side of payment apps for your exact use case, but pricing pages change, so you check the live site before signing up.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Compare Square vs Stripe for a teen selling stickers in person, fees included.'
- Ask AI to flag any fees that only kick in above a sales threshold.
- Have AI list which app needs a parent's bank info for under-18 sellers.
Try it!
Ask AI to compare two payment apps for selling at school. Then visit one app's pricing page and find one number that matches or doesn't.
