Light vs Ramp
Ramp is best-in-class for corporate cards and spend, but it sits on top of your accounting system, not as one, and requires a US-incorporated entity. Light is the AI-native ERP that IS your system of record: spend, AP/AR, and multi-entity accounting in one platform, for finance teams anywhere.
