A Ramp alternative sized for one person, not a finance team.
Ramp is a genuinely strong platform, free corporate cards, expense automation and bill pay, built for US companies that have real headcount and someone whose job is controlling spend. If that's not you, if you're a freelancer, a consultant, or a small studio, Worklyn is built for your shape of business instead: proposals, contracts, invoicing, time and projects on top of the bank account you already have.
Built for one person or a small studio · Works outside the US too · Free plan included
Two good tools, different shapes.
Ramp is for companies with a finance function to run. Worklyn is for the person doing the client work themselves. If you came here because Midday joined Ramp and the fit doesn't feel right, you're not alone, and that's exactly who Worklyn is for.
Worklyn is for freelancers and small studios, wherever they're based
Proposals, contracts with e-sign, time tracking, projects and invoicing, plus a receipt inbox and connected bank feeds across the US, Canada, the EU and the UK. If you used Midday and got offered a move to Ramp when it joined in May 2026, Worklyn keeps that same freelancer-first, AI-native idea, with a one-click importer for your saved Midday export or API token.
Ramp is for US companies with a finance team to support
Ramp's core card and spend platform is free, monetized through interchange, with a paid Plus tier for deeper controls and integrations. It requires the business to be a US-registered company with a minimum cash balance in a connected US bank account, and it's built to serve a finance team managing many people's spending, not one person invoicing their own clients.
Worklyn and Ramp, side by side
Ramp does corporate spend well for the segment it targets. Worklyn is built for the segment right below it, one person or a small studio running client work end to end.

Where Worklyn fits in
Ramp is built to serve a finance team. Worklyn is built to be the finance team, for one person.
The client-facing side Ramp skips
Proposals, contracts with e-sign, invoicing and time tracking sit next to projects on a Kanban board, the work of winning and delivering client business that a spend-management platform was never built to handle.
Room for the freelancers Ramp doesn't fit
If Midday joining Ramp in May 2026 left you looking for a new home, Worklyn was built for exactly your shape of business: one person or a small studio, not a finance department. Import your saved Midday export or API token in one step.
An AI that does the busywork
Draft invoices and contracts, log time from plain English, read receipts and categorize transactions. An accepted proposal becomes a contract and an invoice in one click.
Works outside the US too
Ramp requires a US-registered company. Worklyn connects banks across the US and Canada via Plaid and the EU and UK via EnableBanking, and bills in EUR, USD or TRY.
An AI CFO, included in every paid plan, finds unbilled hours, chases overdue invoices and forecasts your cash. Everything here is live and shipping today.
Questions about Worklyn and Ramp
It depends what you are. If you're a US company with a team spending the company's money, Ramp's free cards and spend controls are hard to beat, that's a genuinely strong product for that job. If you're a freelancer or a small studio without a finance team, Worklyn is built for your shape of business instead.
Very likely, yes. Midday joined Ramp on May 7, 2026, with the indie Midday product winding down in August 2026, a well-earned outcome for the team, but Ramp is aimed at companies with finance teams, not solo freelancers. Worklyn carries the freelancer-first, AI-native idea Midday had forward, and imports your saved Midday export or API token in one step under Settings → Import.
No. Worklyn isn't a bank or a card issuer, it doesn't hold money or issue physical or virtual cards. It connects to the bank account you already have, in the US and Canada through Plaid, or the EU and UK through EnableBanking.
No. Ramp requires the business to be registered in the US with a minimum cash balance in a connected US account. Worklyn works from most countries, is multi-currency in EUR, USD and TRY, and connects banks across the US, Canada, the EU and the UK.
