    Sounds pretty noble, we know. That’s how we like to play it, and this latest ranking is proof that even when almost nothing changes, that’s still a worthwhile data point. And this is one of those cases where nothing changed, indicating stability in buy now, pay later (BNPL) for one thing.

    The Top 5

    Still locked in their battle for primary in a two-way tie for the No. 1 spot are the Affirm and Klarna apps.

    Right behind at No. 2 remains Afterpay.

    Unchanged at No. 3 is Zip.

    Paidy is holding its own at No. 4 for another month.

    Closing the Top 5 once again is the popular Sezzle app.

    The Top 10

    Don’t look for surprises outside the Top 5 either, as Laybuy reclines comfortably at No. 6 as it did last cycle.

    The tie for No. 7 persists as FuturePay and LazyPay stay locked in commercial combat.

    Taking us out at No. 8, like last month, is the Humm app.

    And now you know what we know.
