What the numbers say

PayPal scores 40.0 out of 100 on the Fameproof index, ranking 54 of 186 companies measured in the run of 26 October 2026. The index is the mean of the per-model scores below.

Visibility is uneven across models: ChatGPT scores it 46.0 while Claude scores it 36.0, a gap of 10.0 points. A brand that is strong on one model and weak on another has a different problem from one that is mid-table everywhere.

ChatGPT names PayPal in 48% of answers and places it early enough to score 12% on prominence; Claude names it in 27%.

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 89.3 — the fairer question for a buyer already shopping that market, though it cannot be compared across markets.
