Top SaaS vendors on Ramp (Sept 2024)
Every month, billions of dollars get processed on Ramp cards for business expenses. And every month, we share the new vendors that customers are purchasing for the first time, to give you a glimpse into emerging market trends, companies on the rise, and much more.
Last month, over 12,000 businesses on Ramp transacted with a new software vendor. While many of the vendors from July reappeared, two new names surfaced: GoDaddy and LinkedIn.
By new customer count | By new card spend |
|---|---|
1. Adobe | 1. HubSpot |
Four things struck me:
- Every company is now an AI company: Nearly all the vendors on our lists are touting their AI functionality, even those you don’t necessarily think of as AI-first. GoDaddy, for example, is pushing its customers to “build a website at the speed of AI.”
- GoDaddy: Speaking of the domain registrar, this month, it knocked Squarespace off the list of top vendors by new customer count. Squarespace previously led the list in June and July after acquiring Google Domains last year and migrating customers in recent months. Some companies moving off Google Domains might have been drawn to GoDaddy’s lower pricing.
- Canva: Keep an eye on the design platform's market share.Over the past few weeks, Canva has been rolling out substantial price increases as a result of its new AI features. Will Canva users accept the price hikes, or will we see movement to new design tools?
- LinkedIn: The platform is a must-have lead-generation tool. Its reappearance on the list, with HubSpot’s and ZoomInfo’stop positions, suggests companies are continuing to push hard on their prospecting efforts.
We’ll be back next month with new data.

“Ramp had everything we were looking for, and even things we weren't looking for. The policy aspects, that's something I never even dreamed of that a purchasing card program could handle.”

Director of Finance, City of Mount Vernon
“Switching from Brex to Ramp wasn’t just a platform swap—it was a strategic upgrade that aligned with our mission to be agile, efficient, and financially savvy.”

CEO, Piñata
“With Ramp, everything lives in one place. You can click into a vendor and see every transaction, invoice, and contract. That didn’t exist in Zip. It’s made approvals much faster because decision-makers aren’t chasing down information—they have it all at their fingertips.”
Ryan Williams
Manager, Contract and Vendor Management, Advisor360°
“The ability to create flexible parameters, such as allowing bookings up to 25% above market rate, has been really good for us. Plus, having all the information within the same platform is really valuable.”

Assistant Controller, Sana Benefits
“More vendors are allowing for discounts now, because they’re seeing the quick payment. That started with Ramp—getting everyone paid on time. We’ll get a 1-2% discount for paying early. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, it does add up.”
James Hardy
CFO, SAM Construction Group
“We’ve simplified our workflows while improving accuracy, and we are faster in closing with the help of automation. We could not have achieved this without the solutions Ramp brought to the table.”
Kaustubh Khandelwal
VP of Finance, Poshmark
“I was shocked at how easy it was to set up Ramp and get our end users to adopt it. Our prior procurement platform took six months to implement, and it was a lot of labor. Ramp was so easy it was almost scary.”
Michael Natsch
Procurement Manager, AIRCO
