Customer stories: Why businesses switched from Brex to Ramp

Why growing companies are switching from Brex to Ramp

Startups move fast. But as finance teams grow more complex, even the most popular legacy tools can start to slow things down. That was the case for several high-growth companies who initially used Brex. Companies looking for Brex alternatives needed a more unified, automated system that could scale with them. That’s why they made the switch from Brex to Ramp.

Here’s what changed:

Snapdocs

Snapdocs used Brex, Expensify, and Bill.com which created a fragmented, manual finance workflow. Ramp replaced all three by offering a fully integrated, automated platform with custom approval flows and seamless QuickBooks sync.
Ramp's impact: Cut monthly reconciliation from 5–6 hours to under 30 minutes; improved expense visibility and control.

Abode

Abode CEO Tyler Bliha cited limited control, inefficient reimbursement workflows, and impractical points-based rewards as reasons for leaving Brex. Ramp offered faster card provisioning, smarter spend policies, and straightforward cashback that aligned with their cost-conscious goals.
Ramp's impact: Reduced operational complexity, improved visibility, and accelerated close timelines.

Ramp's impact:

• 58% improvement in expense compliance

• 3 days shaved off monthly close
