Brex covers the same ground as Ramp, with a stronger tilt toward global companies. Essentials costs nothing per user and includes global card acceptance with one local card program, AI-powered custom rules, accounting integrations, local currency wires, travel booking, bill pay, reimbursements and API access for up to two entities. Premium, at $12 per user per month, adds multiple expense policies with category rules and role-based exceptions, dynamic review chains, compliance audit detection, US and international multi-entity support, ERP and HRIS integrations, VAT documentation and live budgets. Enterprise adds unlimited entities and local card issuance, reimbursements and policies. For a company with offices in several countries the pricing is clear and the per-user price undercuts Ramp Plus, which also charges a platform fee. Smaller US-only teams may find the Essentials limits on policies and budgets tighter than Ramp's free tier.

Price
Essentials $0 per user per month; Premium $12 per user per month; Enterprise custom.
