OpenAI grew faster than Anthropic among business users in the U.S., according to data from Ramp
As of the time of data collection, OpenAI was growing faster than Anthropic among U.S. paid business users of Ramp in the third quarter, TechCrunch reports, citing data from the service. At the same time, Anthropic held a larger share in this sample as of July.
In May, Anthropic overtook OpenAI among Ramp’s paid business users: its share stood at 41%, while OpenAI’s was 39%. In July, Anthropic’s share approached 44%, while OpenAI’s reached 40%. Ramp economist Ara Harazyan noted that OpenAI is currently growing faster than its competitor in this segment, but the trend may change before the end of the quarter.
The data covers more than 70,000 U.S. companies that spend billions of dollars through Ramp’s bill payment and corporate card services. The company’s clients span various industries, though the sample is skewed toward the tech sector, as Ramp’s corporate cards are popular in Silicon Valley.

Ramp did not provide data on actual spending amounts, releasing only percentage figures. This sample also does not reflect the entire corporate artificial intelligence market, as it excludes large companies that use expense management systems from other providers, such as American Express.
Kharazyan attributed OpenAI’s new momentum to growing demand from developers for the GPT-5.6 Sol model. In his view, the adoption of Anthropic’s Fable 5 may have been slower due to its cost and data storage requirements. TechCrunch notes that Fable is a more expensive model designed for narrower tasks than a general-purpose chatbot. Anthropic warned Fable users that it would retain their data for 30 days.
The percentage of Ramp customers paying for AI services has been growing: in March, it exceeded 50%, and in July, it reached nearly 56%. This indicates the expansion of the corporate AI usage segment among Ramp’s customers.
