Top 3 reasons leaders pick Ramp over Pleo

An all-in-one finance operating system, beyond expense management.

Ramp brings cards, expenses, accounts payable, procurement, vendor management and accounting automation into one platform. As your finance operations grow, your spend stack can grow with them.

Less manual work at month-end.

Receipts, coding and VAT details flow into your accounting workflow throughout the month, so transactions are ready for review at close. Pleo customers tell us they still spend time on hands-on reconciliation and coding review before the books close.

“Invoices, cards, tokens. The categories change but the principle doesn't: know where the money is going, remove the work around it, and make sure the spend is worth it.”

FAQ

Pleo handles cards well, but some UK finance teams we talk to still manage AP separately and perform manual month-end reconciliation to get everything into their accounting system. Ramp brings cards, expenses, bill payments and accounting automation into one platform, so month-end isn’t a separate project.

Yes. Ramp issues GBP cards, supports UK expense management and reimbursements, processes eligible GBP supplier payments, and syncs directly with Xero, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite and Sage Intacct. Spend controls, approval workflows, and real-time tracking are now live for UK teams.

Ramp automatically pulls your existing tax codes from your linked ERP to apply relevant VAT on every transaction. At month-end, your transactions are already coded, tagged, and ready for your accountant or Xero reconciliation, no manual digging required.

Ramp has no per-card fees and no annual fee. Pricing depends on your team size and the features you need. For a direct comparison against your current Pleo plan including how per-user costs scale as your team grows — reach out and we'll build a side-by-side breakdown.

Ramp started in the US, and the majority of our customers are US-based. But Ramp is now live in the UK with GBP cards, local expense management, VAT automation, and direct integration with Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct and more. UK businesses get the same platform, controls, and automation that US companies use with local currency and local accounting support built in. Ramp isn't entering the UK as a side project. It's the same product, now purpose-built for how UK finance teams work.

Ramp is an all-in-one finance operating system, combining corporate cards, expense management, bill payments, accounting automation, AI Token Spend Management, procurement and more into a single platform. Pleo focuses on cards and expenses, with accounts payable often run separately from card spend.

Time is money. Save both.
