Where each falls short

Expensify is a weak fit for

A company on Business Central, SAP, Oracle or Dynamics that needs two-way sync
A finance team that wants an AI agent to approve
A buyer who needs card cash back outside the US or on non-USD spend

Ramp is a weak fit for

Companies on SAP ERP, or needing native multi-entity sync with an ERP other than NetSuite or Sage Intacct
A business that wants a fixed, published card rewards rate
Groups headquartered in the UK or EU that need a long-running local program today
