We prefer Bill for AP, and are exploring Bill's spend & expense. Ramp has been helpful, but we believe Bill might offer better features where we are current users of their AP & AR, including premium features that are paid in Ramp at no cost from Bill. Mostly Ramp has been a …
Chose Ramp
Ramp is in the sweet spot for high functionality with reasonable costs. It has incredible functionality and automates a great deal of formerly manual processes. Additionally, the cash-back bonuses on credit card use defray the cost of the Sage Intacct integration to the point …
Chose Ramp
Ramp allows for spontaneous payments to be made at any time and can be delivered same day if necessary. TriNet allows up to pay our employees but there are a lot more restrictions
Chose Ramp
Ramp is much more user friendly and better tech. Bill and Coupa are quite outdated products that pretend to be well-designed software.
Chose Ramp
These solutions were all great in their own ways. The two main reasons we chose Ramp was because of their innovation around AI. They have implemented AI Agents in their tool to help enforce the company expense policy and help managers be more efficient in reviewing and …

Ramp is simple and easy to use. Expensify has a lot more features making it better in terms of features for users who are tech savvy. But Ramp is simple to use and can be used by anyone making it easier to use an be one of user favorites. So Ramp is easy to use and expensify is …

Like I mentioned previously, I have not really used any competitors.

SAP Concur was a very clunky hard to use system. Ramp was easy to setup and implement, very user friendly and most importantly real time data.
Chose Ramp
We have only tried one other program and it was NOT free. They also required us to provide a SSN for one person which is against our policies. Ramp is the ONLY product we have found that will work with a church/non-profit and not require you to provide and individuals SSN.
Chose Ramp
Night and day. I don't have specifics however Ramp is a much easier, user-friendly tool than Concur.
Chose Ramp
Much easier to use than BILL, in my experience. The mobile app lacks some of the features of BILL, but every other aspect of administration and day to day use is simpler and faster with Ramp.
Chose Ramp
We had TravelBank for a while, but this was mostly for expense tracking. TravelBank was more limited in its feature for future and forward expenses and spending - not having as much versatility with credit cards and limits as Ramp does. Ramp had more options and flexibilities. …
Chose Ramp
Ramp is fully vertical system and we were able to save time and money by eliminating 3 other software programs.
Chose Ramp
Ramp is definitely better than Brex; more functionality and better customer service. Ramp has really stellar customer service.
Chose Ramp
The additional features of Ramp easily trumped our Chase for Business account. While both provided 1.5% rewards, the features of Ramp helped us to more easily manage our business.
Chose Ramp
Ramp gave us higher spending limits, and had a much more robust expense reporting platform.
Chose Ramp
Ramp has a much better UI and easier workflow compared to Ramp. I was able to ramp up with Ramp in less than a month and become very proficient within 3.
Chose Ramp
We have GREATLY preferred Ramp to Expensify. Expensify was a monthly (sometimes weekly) hassle of expense reporting. Ramp has simplified and streamlined credit, expense tracking, and syncing with Quickbooks.
Chose Ramp
Ramp is by far the best platform from an expense side. It has overall ease of use and takes minutes to process and expense versus hours like it has taken me with Concur.
Chose Ramp
We moved to Ramp from Expensify at our accountant's advice. We went with her advice due to ease of use, ease of Quickbooks sync, ability to send reminders with one click, and more. We are very happy with the decision to switch to Ramp.

Our organization was able to get a deep discount on the product, so it's suited for small businesses that are very cost conscious that just need basic tools. It's best to evaluate your accounting platform and how the information can flow from ExpenseWire to the financial application, since what we use currently doesn't allow automatic sync, which might be problematic in many cases.

Ramp is well suited for managing everyday spending. We have been able to set standard permissions across the board for our team, monitor spending easily, and adjust "allowances" accordingly and quickly. The instant funding once a request is approved makes it so much faster to make a purchase, if outside of the set parameters. Ramp travel offerings are sometimes unattractive, and we have found many flights, hotels, and car rentals by going to other platforms or the suppliers directly. Pricing is comparable, but many times it is cheaper to book outside of Ramp.

Pros
  • Ability to directly reimburse employees' bank accounts on the application itself; no need to do a separate wire/ACH payment via the company bank
  • Keeps track of all receipt submissions and you can view them on the application
  • Approval flow meets our needs

  • Ramp syncs to Sage Intacct smoothly, pulling dimensions in directly from the ERP.
  • Coding rules within Ramp are easy to customize, allowing for logic-based options following the path of the GL. This use of smartlists for dimensions dramatically lowers the instances of human data entry error.
  • Approval routing rules are easy to create and change as the business changes. Approvals can be based on either the user or the coding of an individual transaction depending on your business needs.
  • The out-of-office delegation function allows the approval process to continue without delays when key personnel are away on vacation.

Cons
  • Increase ability to integrate with different accounting platforms automatically (we use Xero)
  • Enhance the ability to generate more types of reports with different field combinations
  • User interface is not as user friendly compared to other solutions

  • Even more integration to have us spend less time on reporting expenses for grant reports
  • This does not happen often, but if you make a purchase and then cancel it with the vendor, for some reason, Ramp does not immediately recognize that purchase cancellation and will continue to remind you to submit a receipt or tag it as an accidental charge, but there is no option to tag it as a canceled purchase.

Usability
No answers on this topic
For the most part, Ramp has been a massive benefit to our organization. It has an easy user experience, looks good on the screen, has intuitive workflows in most applications, and other than issues with accounting, coding & syncing I receive very little feedback (which is positive for us) on using Ramp.

These solutions were all great in their own ways. The two main reasons we chose Ramp was because of their innovation around AI. They have implemented AI Agents in their tool to help enforce the company expense policy and help managers be more efficient in reviewing and approving their direct report expenses. Also, we are able to manage all of our company's international entities on one platform

Return on Investment
  • Less time spent inputting/tracking expenses
  • Positive employee feedback (greater satisfaction as compared to Excel)

  • Ramp has definitely helped us save hundreds of dollars in just the first year of using it. Expenses can easily get lost in the shuffle that is fraudulent or placed on the wrong credit card, but with Ramp, the admin team can see everyone's spend and make call-outs to charges that don't look to be the accurate way in advance of it possibly getting lost and forgotten down the line.
