## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short list
> 
> **1. Ramp** - My default recommendation for most nonprofits with 10+ people spending money. Corporate cards, expense reports, bill pay, and reimbursements in one product, and the core platform is free (they make money on interchange). That pricing matters more for nonprofits than almost any other buyer. It codes transactions to funds/grants and functional expense categories (program vs. management vs. fundraising) at the point of spend, which is what actually saves you time at Form 990 season. Main caveat: it's a **charge card** - balances are paid in full monthly, which can pinch if your cash flow waits on grant disbursements.
> 
> **2. BILL Spend & Expense (formerly Divvy)** - The one I'd name if Ramp's charge-card model is a problem or you want harder budget enforcement. Also free, cards + budgets + expense tracking, and its budget-first design (money is allocated to a program budget before it can be spent) fits nonprofits with strict restricted-fund discipline and lots of program managers. Pairs naturally if you already use BILL for AP.
> 
> **3. Expensify** - Best if your real problem is *reimbursements and receipts*, not cards. Volunteer and staff mileage, receipt
