Ramp was named in all 6 of the 6 answers we recorded when we asked ChatGPT and Gemini for the best corporate card software on 6 August 2026, the only product to appear in every question.
Brex came second, named in 4 of the 6 answers. No other product reached half the set: SAP Concur was named in 3 of 6, and five products, BILL, Expensify, Fyle, Payhawk, and Sage Expense Management, tied at 2 of 6 each. Everything else we saw came up once.
We ran one measurement: six buyer questions about corporate card software, each put to ChatGPT and Gemini with one live web search, on 6 August 2026. We recorded every product named and every source domain cited across all 6 answers. Nineteen distinct product labels came up in total, and only Ramp appeared in all six.
The shortlist changed with the wording
Ramp was the only constant. Every other name moved in and out depending on how we phrased the question, and the size of the shortlist swung hard: the bare query "best corporate card software" returned 8 products, while "corporate card software recommendations" returned just 3 (Sage Expense Management, Ramp, and Brex).
The bare "best corporate card software" question returned 8 products: Navan, Brex, Ramp, Expensify, SAP Concur, BILL, Airbase, and Pleo. Three of those, Navan, Airbase, and Pleo, appeared in this one question and nowhere else across the other five.
"Best corporate card software for small teams" narrowed to 4 products: Ramp, Mercury, The BILL Divvy Corporate Card, and Brex. Mercury and The BILL Divvy Corporate Card each appeared only in this small-teams question, in none of the other five.
"What corporate card software should I use" returned 8 products: SAP Concur, Brex, Ramp, Payhawk, Fyle, Sage Expense Management, Rippling Spend, and Webexpenses. Rippling Spend and Webexpenses were unique to this question, named nowhere else in the six.
The two price questions barely overlapped. "Best free corporate card software" returned 6 products: Expensify, BILL Spend & Expense, Navan Business, GetHarvest, Ramp, and Fyle. "Most affordable corporate card software" returned 5: Ramp, Payhawk, SAP Concur, BILL, and Divvy. The only product on both price lists was Ramp. Free and affordable produced two almost entirely different shortlists.
Three products were unique to the "best free" question: GetHarvest, BILL Spend & Expense, and Navan Business, each named in that one answer and no other. Divvy was unique to "most affordable," the only one of the six questions where it came up.
Add it up and 11 of the 19 product labels we saw appeared in exactly one of the six questions. A buyer who types "best free" and a buyer who types "most affordable" are shown different companies, even though both are asking about price. Who you compete with depends on the exact words in the box.
The source map
Two domains fed all 6 answers: reddit.com and fylehq.com, each cited across every one of the six questions. ramp.com was third, cited in 5 of 6. Those three domains shaped these answers more than any other source.
Community discussion carried real weight: reddit.com was a source in all 6 of 6 answers. No Quora thread appeared in any of the six. If your category conversation lives on Reddit, that is the community source these two assistants are reading.
Review directories showed up, but lightly. G2 (g2.com) was cited in 2 of 6 answers and Gartner (gartner.com) in 2 of 6. Capterra did not appear in any of the six. The heavy lifting came from roundup posts and community threads, not from the classic software directories.
A cluster of local newspaper domains fed the answers too: charlotteobserver.com in 3 of 6, plus fresnobee.com and sanluisobispo.com in 1 each. These carry syndicated "best corporate card" roundups, and the assistants treated them as sources.
Here is the part worth underlining: ramp.com was cited in 5 of the 6 answers, and Ramp was named in all 6. The company whose own domain shows up most in the source set is also the company named most. Brex follows the same pattern, with brex.com cited in 2 of 6 and Brex named in 4 of 6. Your own published content is not a bystander in these answers, it is one of the inputs.
Fyle is the counter-example that proves the rule. fylehq.com was cited in all 6 of 6 answers, more than any other domain, because Fyle publishes a roundup that lists the whole field. But Fyle the product was named in only 2 of 6. A roundup that fairly lists your rivals can get you cited as a source without getting you picked as an answer.
What this means if you sell corporate card software
If you want to be named, the lever is the source list, not your market share. SAP Concur is a large incumbent and was still named in only 3 of 6, behind Ramp at 6 of 6 and Brex at 4 of 6, because Ramp and Brex show up more often in the exact pages these two assistants read.
The practical target is narrow. Be present in the sources that actually fed these answers: the Reddit threads (a source in 6 of 6), the roundups like fylehq.com (6 of 6) and guideflow.com (2 of 6), and your own comparison content, the way ramp.com (5 of 6) and brex.com (2 of 6) already are. Being named in an AI answer is downstream of being on those pages.
None of this is guesswork you have to do blind. The list of who was named, how many of the six answers each product appeared in, and which domains fed those answers is measurable, and it shifts week to week as the underlying pages change.
The full list, counted
| Product | Named in | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Ramp | 6 of 6 | 100% |
| Brex | 4 of 6 | 67% |
| SAP Concur | 3 of 6 | 50% |
| BILL | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Expensify | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Fyle | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Payhawk | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Sage Expense Management | 2 of 6 | 33% |
| Airbase | 1 of 6 | 17% |
One caution on the counts: some brands were named under more than one label, and we have kept them separate rather than adding them up. BILL appears as "BILL" (2 of 6), and separately as "BILL Spend & Expense" (1 of 6) and "The BILL Divvy Corporate Card" (1 of 6). Navan appears as both "Navan" (1 of 6) and "Navan Business" (1 of 6). Divvy appears on its own (1 of 6) and again inside "The BILL Divvy Corporate Card." We report what each answer actually said, so we do not fold these into a single brand total the data never showed.
Glotier does not sell corporate card software, so we are correctly absent from all six of these answers. We were not named, and we should not be. But this page is exactly the measurement we run for a customer's own category: the six buyer questions, every product named, and the source pages behind each answer. If you want the same read on your category, the check is free, takes about a minute, and needs no account.
