PayPal scores 43.5 out of 100 on the Fameproof index, ranking 44 of 120 companies measured in the run of 5 August 2026. The index is the mean of the per-model scores below.

The models broadly agree: ChatGPT 45.0, Gemini 42.0, within 3.0 points of each other.

ChatGPT names PayPal in 44% of answers and places it early enough to score 14% on prominence; Gemini names it in 40%.

Every prompt in the 24-question panel produced a mention on at least one model — an unusually complete result.

Measured inside payments rather than the wide financial services pool, PayPal scores 92.0 — the fairer question for a buyer already shopping that market, though it cannot be compared across markets.
