Ramp

AP & invoices

Ramp is a spend management platform that combines corporate cards, expenses, procurement, treasury and a Bill Pay accounts payable product. Bill Pay turns incoming invoices into draft bills, codes them, routes them for approval, checks for fraud and pays vendors by ACH, card, check or wire, with AI agents doing much of the intake and review.

What the AI does

OCR reads invoice details and line items into draft bills
Auto-coding agent fills GL category, department and location from the vendor's past bills and follows customer-written instructions (Ramp Plus)
AP policy review agent (beta) checks bills against an editable AP Review Policy using contracts, purchase orders, budgets and supporting documents
Fraud detection flags questionable vendors, unusual payment amounts and duplicate invoices before payment
AP inbox automation (beta) creates draft bills from a connected Gmail inbox, and a card payment agent can pay eligible invoices with a virtual card
Policy agent reviews expenses against the company's policy, approves compliant ones (admins can assign it as an approver) and flags the rest with a reference to the policy and an audit trail

Choosing between Expensify and Ramp

Start with what you already run. If one documents an integration with your ledger and the other doesn’t, that usually settles it. Then compare the data-safety fields: ask whichever vendor shows unconfirmed for SOC 2 or training on customer data to put its answer in writing. Pricing is the last step, because published starting prices rarely match the plan a growing team ends up on.
