Top SaaS vendors on Ramp (Feburary 2026)

Every month, Ramp processes billions of dollars in business expenses on its corporate card and bill pay platform. And every month, we rank the new vendors that customers are purchasing from for the first time to give you a glimpse into emerging market trends, companies on the rise, and much more.

This month, we’re introducing a new format for our Top SaaS vendors series. Trending is designed to capture vendors with breakout growth relative to their size — emerging tools gaining momentum. Fastest growing shows the companies adding the most customers in absolute terms — the established players capturing share.

We’re also introducing a new methodology to build this list. Our new format uses data from Ramp Rate, a data-backed vendor directory we launched last week. Track market share, business adoption, and growth trends across categories using Ramp’s proprietary data built with actual transactions across 50,000-plus businesses on Ramp's spend platform.

Our new format has two main advantages: First, transparency. Ramp Rate is free, interactive, and explorable. Many of the vendors on this list also have historical adoption rates and growth trends you can track at ramp.com/vendors. Second, stability. Our new methodology uses a more stable estimation method to track trending firms, producing a more reliable estimate of which companies are seeing breakout growth.

Here’s a breakdown of the top SaaS vendors last month:

Standouts

• Six of the top 10 trending companies are AI infrastructure. Cerebras, Runware, Clarifai, Novita AI, Crusoe, and Modal. Why does infrastructure matter when OpenAI and Anthropic offer APIs? Some open-source models are now good enough for production. Llama and Mistral via self-hosted AI infrastructure give companies a cheaper alternative to the foundational model companies, even if in a complementary capacity. To be clear, most companies are still on APIs, but Ramp data shows some firms are growing their investments in this layer.
  
• AI-native dev tools keep growing despite competition from foundation model companies. Cursor, Lovable, and Replit are all among the fastest-growing companies on Ramp, even as Anthropic and OpenAI have launched their own coding agents. I think this signals that developers want integrated workflows and great UX, not just access to the smartest model. Claude Code isn’t killing these startups.
  
• AEO is the future of marketing: Profound and Peec AI, both SEO/AEO intelligence platforms, landed in the top 10 trending list. AEO, or answer engine optimization, is about getting cited by AI search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Ramp data shows marketing teams are already investing here and quickly becoming part of a standard marketing strategy.
