Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ramp, Zip, and Spendflo?
Ramp manages spend through cards, expenses, and AP. Zip orchestrates procurement workflows. Spendflo adds Flo, an ai procurement workforce that executes intake-to-pay work under your approval policies, with pricing benchmarks from real contracts and managed procurement.
When should a team choose Ramp?
Choose Ramp when the priority is finance-first spend management: corporate cards, expenses, bill pay, and accounting automation with real-time spend visibility.
When should a team choose Zip?
Choose Zip when the priority is configurable procurement orchestration: intake, a flexible workflow engine, and approval routing across a complex enterprise.
Why do pricing benchmarks matter?
Benchmarks from real contracts give your team market context on price, terms, and renewals before you commit, so negotiation starts with leverage rather than guesswork.
Does Spendflo replace Ramp or Zip?
Not necessarily. Spendflo runs procurement execution from intake to pay, with pricing benchmarks and managed procurement. It works alongside a card and expense platform like Ramp, and gives procurement teams execution and pricing leverage that orchestration alone does not provide.
