  • Teams that want a free entry tier with QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Not ideal for

What Ramp really costs

Per seat per month
$15 per user per month on Plus (plus platform fee by team size, amount not published)
Billing
Monthly and annual.
Annual discount
20% off with annual billing.
20 users per year
Not computable: platform fee not published (users alone: 20 x $15 x 12 = $3,600 per year before the fee and annual discount)

Add-ons and extras to budget for

  • Procurement add-on on Plus/Enterprise.
  • Accounts Receivable add-on.
  • 1099 filing $0.65 per IRS filing.

Questions to ask about price

  1. Is there a minimum number of seats or a minimum annual spend?
  2. How much can the price rise at renewal, and is the increase capped in the contract?
  3. Are there one-time costs for implementation, onboarding or data migration?

Is Ramp worth the price?

A strong fit for a small team on QuickBooks Online or Xero that wants cards, expenses and AP in one place at no software fee. It gets more expensive once you need approval workflows, budget versus actual tracking or purchase orders, which means Plus and then the Procurement add-on. For 20 users, the user fees alone are $3,600 per year before the platform fee and the annual discount, so a full quote is needed.

Worth it if

  • Companies that want cards, expenses and AP in one tool and are fine adopting its card.
  • Teams that want a free entry tier with QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Look elsewhere if

  • Teams that need PO management without the Plus plan (Procurement is Plus or Enterprise only)
  • Buyers who want a standalone procurement tool unconnected to a card program.

Cheaper per seat than Ramp

  • Tipalti$0 (no per-user or per-approver fees; platform fee from $99/month plus transaction fees)
  • Brex$12 (Premium)

Pricing details most reviews leave out

  • PO functions are a paid add-on and need Plus, so the $0 tier has no purchase orders.
  • Plus fee has a platform component based on team size that the page does not quantify.
  • ERP depth rises by tier: NetSuite and Sage Intacct only from Plus, Workday and Oracle from Enterprise.
  • Procurement can match card transactions to POs, tying approval to actual spend.
  • GetApp France comparison (a Gartner Digital Markets site) shows 4.9/5 from 220 reviews.

Ramp compared

Our verdict on Ramp

Ramp is a corporate card and spend platform with a free tier, which makes the entry cost unusually low. Free covers the corporate card, basic expense and AP, and QuickBooks Online or Xero. Plus costs $15 per user per month plus a platform fee set by team size, and that fee amount is not published. G2 shows 4.8 out of 5 from 2,492 reviews.

Ramp is good value for companies happy to adopt its card as the center of spend. It gets awkward when you need purchase orders, because Procurement is an add-on available only on Plus or Enterprise, so the $0 tier has none. ERP depth also rises by tier: NetSuite and Sage Intacct come with Plus, Workday and Oracle Fusion with Enterprise.
