Ramp's economic data is now accessible via Claude, ChatGPT, Bloomberg, and more

Every market gets more efficient when the lights come on.

Stocks, real estate, used cars – all have transparent prices. B2B software doesn't. Every buyer haggles in the dark, every seller protects their margin, and nobody learns from anyone else's contract. The cost is real: companies overpay for the wrong tier, sign the wrong vendor, or miss a market shift entirely.

Ramp data is how we turn the lights on – it's our home for free, aggregated, anonymized, and public economic indices. Today that includes Ramp Rate and the AI Index, with more indices to come.

Ramp Rate alone tracks:

  • Vendor adoption rates
  • Vendor growth rates
  • Vendor switch rates
  • New adopter share
  • Share of spend
  • Breakout competitors

Our AI Index tracks how businesses are adopting and spending on AI tools.

The data is built from billions of dollars in real corporate spend across 50,000+ businesses, with leading publications like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and NPR's Planet Money citing it.

Ramp data is used by founders, procurement leads, researchers, investors, and policy analysts. As our lead economist Ara Kharazian put it: "We believe price discovery in B2B software has been broken for decades, and that fixing it is a public good. That's why Ramp data has always been free." With tens of thousands of businesses visiting ramp.com to explore these indices, we’re taking the next step by bringing Ramp data directly into the tools you already use:

Starting today, you can query Ramp’s economic data – Ramp Rate, AI Index, and more – from your AI assistant, your terminal, or directly inside platforms like Bloomberg.

Early partners for Ramp's data include:

  • Anthropic: all data available via Claude Ramp Data MCP
  • Bloomberg: AI Index available within Bloomberg Terminal
  • OpenAI: all data available via OpenAI Ramp Data MCP
  • Perplexity: all data available via Workflows*
  • xAI and X: all data to be available via Grok*

More platforms are coming soon. Visit ramp.com/data-partnerships to learn more.

*Grok access is expected to go live by May 15; once it’s live, users can tag Grok with questions about economic trends, benchmarked by Ramp data. Perplexity access is expected to go live in May as well; once it’s live, users can access Ramp Data via the Workflows functionality.

Three ways to access Ramp’s data: API, MCP, or CLI

1. API - for developers building integrations

If you're building dashboards, data products, or automated workflows, Ramp’s API gives you access to clean, structured data you can pull into anything you're building.

2. MCP - through your AI-assistant

Connect Ramp Rate to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and ask questions like:

  • What are companies our size paying for Salesforce?
  • Which IT solutions providers have the largest share of spend within our segment?
  • How does our AWS spend compare to similar companies?

3. CLI - from terminal, Codex, Claude Code, and more

Access the same Ramp Rate data from the command line. Run a quick lookup before a meeting, compare two vendors, or set up a script that pulls fresh numbers on a schedule.
