A Ramp alternative that works with the cards you already have

Ramp is a strong corporate-card and spend platform. It is genuinely good at the basics finance teams want: receipt capture, automated categorization, approvals and a clean view of company spend, with software that is free because it is monetized through card interchange. Teams weighing Ramp alternatives usually like the product but raise one practical point, that getting full value means issuing and switching to Ramp's cards and moving banking relationships over.

Expenditure takes a software-first approach instead. It reads receipts, categorizes to the right GL account, checks spend against policy, gives you real-time visibility across cards, vendors and subscriptions, and proactively flags duplicate tools, unused seats and price creep, all on top of the Visa and Mastercard cards and banks you already use. There is no card to switch to and pricing is transparent per seat, so you get the same categorize, policy and savings outcomes without changing how you bank.

Good questions

Ramp vs Expenditure, answered

If you want Ramp-style AI categorization, policy enforcement, real-time visibility and savings insight without switching to a new corporate card, yes. Expenditure is software-first and works on the cards and banks you already have, with transparent per-seat pricing.
No. Expenditure layers on top of your existing Visa and Mastercard cards and bank accounts. We never move or hold your money; any card or payment runs through a licensed banking partner, and your financial data is never sold or used to train models.
