Medius vs. Ramp
AP automation and spend management for growing businesses
Medius and Ramp both offer AP automation, spend management, and finance workflows, but they're specifically designed for different types of companies. Medius supports businesses of all sizes, from mid-sized to enterprise-level. It offers powerful automation, smart AI, and workflows designed to handle complex purchase orders and global needs.
Ramp grew fast with small to medium businesses because it keeps things simple, focuses on corporate cards, and has a user-friendly interface, but it might hit a wall with more complex AP and purchasing needs.
Here’s how the two platforms compare.

What is Ramp?
Ramp is a cloud-based spend management platform that grew rapidly through SMB adoption and corporate card rebates. It combines AP automation, expense management, procurement tools, and real-time reporting in one platform. Ramp’s strength lies in simplicity, user experience, and fast adoption, but its reporting and ability to handle complex workflows can be limited. Most of its revenue comes from corporate cards and interchange fees, and the majority of its customer base is small to mid-market businesses.
Key Ramp features:
- Multiple payment options, including ACH, card, check, and international wire, with zero fees
- AI-powered invoice capture and basic two-way matching
- Flexible, policy-driven approval workflows
- Real-time spend visibility and reporting (simpler than enterprise reporting)
- Corporate card management and expense automation
