Top Tools for Spend Management in Tech Companies—What Are You Using?

The ideal solution should support fast-moving teams, streamline approvals, and provide real-time visibility into company expenses. If you're in finance, ops, or IT at a tech company, I'd love to get your input.

Here are a few platforms I’ve seen rated highly on G2's Spend Management Software category:

• Bill Spend & Expense (formerly Divvy) – Pairs corporate cards with budget controls and automated expense workflows for better real-time spend tracking.
• Rippling – Known for HR and IT unification, Rippling also handles employee reimbursements and expense approvals across distributed teams.
• Coupa – Enterprise-grade solution with deep procurement and expense analytics, often used by larger tech organizations looking for end-to-end spend visibility.
• Airbase – Consolidates bill payments, card transactions, and reimbursements into one platform designed for mid-sized tech companies.
• Ramp – Combines smart corporate cards with automation and savings insights, popular among startups and scaleups.
• Mesh Payments offers real-time controls and spend rules with a modern interface. It was built to help fast-growth teams stay agile without losing oversight.
• Brex – Targets tech-forward companies with a financial stack that includes cards, expense automation, and integrations with accounting tools.
