Ramp
Corporate cards and expense management
About Ramp
Ramp is corporate cards with spend management attached. Issue cards with per-card limits and category rules, capture receipts automatically, and close expenses without the monthly reconciliation ritual. The business model rests on interchange rather than subscription fees, so the core product is free.
We track it as the option for controlling software spend. The specific problem it solves well is subscription sprawl — a virtual card per vendor with a hard limit means an unnoticed price increase or an unused tool surfaces immediately instead of at the annual audit.
Brex is the closest competitor, historically more accommodating to venture-backed startups without traditional credit history. Mercury bundles banking and cards, which is simpler when you want fewer accounts. Expensify and Navan focus on travel and expense reporting rather than the card itself. Traditional business credit cards win on rewards if that's what you optimise for. Ramp's real value is not the card — it's not having to chase receipts, which is time nobody enjoys spending.
