The best Ramp competitors and alternatives
Vergo: the top Ramp alternative for companies keeping their cards
Ramp and Vergo both automate expenses, reimbursements and invoices. The difference is what you have to change to get there.
- Any card, from any bank. Ramp's expense management is built into the Ramp Visa corporate card, and spend on other cards comes in only as employee reimbursements. Vergo works with any Visa, Mastercard or Amex card, from any bank, with no card switch or new banking relationship. It is the only option on this list that does.
- Coding learned from your books. Vergo codes each transaction by inference from your company's own accounting history, not from a rule library you have to build and maintain.
- One coding model for all spend. Card expenses, employee reimbursements and vendor invoices are coded the same way in one platform, so the GL, job and cost code logic is consistent everywhere.
- 376+ accounting systems. Vergo connects to hundreds of ERPs, with job, phase, cost code and cost type coding for Viewpoint Spectrum, Vista, Foundation, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct Construction and Acumatica. Card spend also syncs to PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Business Central, Oracle E-Business Suite, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, SAP Business One, QuickBooks Online and Xero.
- Receipts by text. Employees text a photo of the receipt. No expense report to fill out.
Other Ramp alternatives to consider
Brex
Best for: Venture-backed startups through enterprises that want corporate cards, business banking and expense software from one provider.
Brex offers corporate cards with expense management built in, plus bill pay, travel and business accounts. Its expense workflow runs on Brex cards: spend on other cards enters only as reimbursements, and its card statement upload exists to move vendors onto Brex cards. Direct ERP syncs cover systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online and Xero, with CSV export for others.
BILL Spend & Expense
Best for: Small and midsize businesses already paying vendors through BILL.
BILL Spend & Expense, formerly Divvy, pairs the BILL Divvy card with budgets, expense management and reimbursements, and sits alongside BILL's AP product. The spend software pairs directly with the Divvy card and cannot be used with other corporate cards, so it fits BILL payables customers ready to run their card program on Divvy.

Switching from Ramp to Vergo
Moving from Ramp to Vergo means your spend runs on the cards and banks you choose, while Vergo does the coding, receipt collection, approvals and ERP sync. Ramp Bill Pay users move invoice capture, coding and approval into Vergo's AP automation, with approved invoices posted to your ERP.
You keep what already works. Your Visa, Mastercard and Amex cards stay in place, with no new card applications, credit checks or bank change. Your ERP stays the system of record: Vergo reads your chart of accounts, jobs and cost codes and posts coded transactions, reimbursements and approved invoices back to it.
What changes is the coding work. Vergo learns from your own accounting history, so transactions arrive coded the way your team already codes them, and employees submit receipts by text message instead of chasing an app. See how it connects on the existing cards page or browse Vergo integrations.
