01Competitive Landscape

Narrative analysis

- Localization vs. global breadth: Boya emphasizes multi-rail local payment integration (mobile money + bank + cards). Ramp and Pleo emphasize corporate card and expense automation and broader integrations; mobile money is not a core rail for those incumbents. - Pricing model differences: Ramp’s public positioning emphasizes low direct seat costs (interchange-funded model), while Boya uses subscription tiers with user/entity limits. For some customers a subscription model may be acceptable, while others may prefer interchange-funded models to reduce seat costs. - Evidence strength: Ramp and Pleo have broader international visibility and more public reviews and analyst coverage. Boya’s third-party review footprint is limited in the accessible sources, which can complicate procurement validation.
