Considered Both Products
Expensify
Chose Expensify
Our core need was only expense management, and not spend control. Our primary need was to manage and approve expense reimbursements (especially for teams without corporate cards).
Chose Expensify
Expensify is simpler to use and less expensive than Dext. I find it to be much simpler to use, it feels less bulky. Ramp does not have the variety of tools available when compared to Expensify. I am not familiar with using Expensify cards, but I assume that they do that well.
Chose Expensify
The mobile app is "really easy to use" and lets you capture expenses the moment they happen making expense tracking feel natural rather than burdensome.

email integration is another key factor.It has great ui and does not seem to face any login issues which i faced with other …
Chose Expensify
We used Expensify first mainly because these other solutions were either brand new or didn't exist at the time. We switched from Expensify to Divvy in late 2021, and could not be happier with them. I'd recommend all small business owners check them out if they need a corporate …
Ramp
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
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.
Chose Ramp
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 …
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.

Expensify
I think it's really good for small businesses. At least in the way we use it. It's very good for keeping an eye on employee spending in nearly real time. I'm not sure how it works for larger companies when there is a larger number of people to keep track of.

Ramp Business Corporation
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.

Cons
Expensify
  • I wish that I could sync accounts on the back end kind of like with banking software, so that Expensify would automatically port over receipts for recurring expenses as soon as they're available
  • It would be nice to one-click submit an expense all the way through instead of having to attach it to a report
  • Wackier profile icons? :) Not a big deal. This software is pretty much amazing as it is now, and typically the urge to update and modify very good software leads to poor outcomes!

  • 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.

We like using the tool and we receive positive feedback from employees and management who use the tool. It saves time and helps us concentrate on the value adding activities so we are very likely to keep using Expensify in the future

Usability
Expensify
My rating of 8 out of 10 for Expensify's overall usability reflects its strong performance in empowering individual users and streamlining core expense processes, while acknowledging that there are specific areas, particularly on the administrative or enterprise side, where the user experience could be further refined. Exceptional End-User Experience (for basic tasks).Automation & Time-Saving Features.Clear Workflow for Approvers. Why it's not a perfect 10 (areas for improvement that dock points): Limited corporate bank to choose from, limited multi-currency to pay to ( for instance, as a foreign corporatio,n i cannot pay with my US account to Israeli employees, or pay to our UK employees)

Ramp offers an exceptionally intuitive user interface with a clean, well-organized design. The platform demonstrates continuous improvement through regular feature enhancements and updates. New employee onboarding requires minimal training due to the platform's logical section-based layout and user-centric design, which facilitates rapid adoption and efficient navigation. Overall Ramp's interface and UI is very user friendly.

Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.

Expensify
The implementation process went rather smoothly, linking it to the bank and cards was handled easily. without too many unnecessary steps. Getting the accounts setup did take some time, but that would be true with any organization. All in all things went smoothly and I was very pleased with the setup and implementation process

Expensify
It is definitely 10 times better than using an Excel spreadsheet. We are talking a digitized with AI type capabilities to do the work for you. It’s honestly a lifesaver. This beats manual calculations and data entry any day. Scanning 100 receipts and saving them to pdf files not only takes space on your storage but it is an extra unnecessary step

Return on Investment
Expensify
  • We went from paying credit card fees with no approval process to a no fees and complex approval processes.
  • I personally save time in not having to develop a spend report I just have my admin assistent fill in the details of the auto generated report and it is done. Went from an hour long process to 5- 10 minutes max to prepare a high quality audit ready report.

  • The actual dollar savings is difficult to determine at this point. We'll have a better idea the ROI at the end of the year. Previously, we received 1% back on all purchases with our corporate card. We receive 1.5% with Ramp, pay per number of cards annually (for Ramp Plus) to auto-lock cards and for additional features.
  • Time savings for admin and employees has been significant due to ease of use.
