Why Switch to Ramp: Accepts US businesses with $25k+ cash, includes ERP sync on its $0/mo tier, and pays up to 1.5% flat cashback. Ramp is a no-brainer for qualifying B2B companies—replacing Expensify and Bill.com for $0/month while actively cutting SaaS vendor waste.
Why Switch to FreshBooks: Best companion/alternative for service agencies that need client invoicing, retainer billing, and time tracking. FreshBooks is the premier accounting and billing platform for B2B service agencies, consultancies, and professional service firms.
Why Bootstrapped & Mid-Market CFOs Switch from Brex to Ramp
When Brex shifted its focus toward large venture-backed and multinational enterprises, thousands of profitable US SMBs and mid-market companies looked for a modern corporate card and AP automation platform that treats non-VC businesses as first-class citizens. Ramp has captured that market with transparent cashback and forensic accounting automation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can bootstrapped LLCs and S-Corps qualify for Ramp if rejected by Brex?
Yes. Ramp does not require institutional venture capital backing; any US-registered corporation or LLC with at least $25,000 in a US business checking account is eligible for underwriting.
