How we grade them
| 1.6GPACorpayWeak | 3.6GPARampExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published for any product; buyers speak to an expert, and card rebates are described as custom. That puts it in the middle with nothing to grade against. | AFree and substantial. A ten-person company pays $0 a month on Ramp Free for cards, expenses, travel and bill pay, and the listing gives no fee for ACH bill payments, with same-day ACH free too. Plus is $15 a user, 20% less yearly, plus an unstated platform fee. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free and no trial is listed. Every product is sold through a sales conversation. | AThe Free plan has no user cap on record and covers unlimited cards, receipts by text or Slack, travel booking, bill pay, invoicing, a checking account and QuickBooks or Xero sync. Plus has a 30-day trial. |
| Features | CCards, AP automation, payments in 140+ currencies and expense visibility. The lines are separate products, so a buyer may only need one of them and pay for the lot. | BThe whole job: cards with controls, expenses and reimbursements, travel, bills read by OCR and routed for approval, invoicing and accounting sync. Purchase orders and three-way matching are an add-on, which mostly bigger finance teams will miss. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Setup runs through a sales process and ERP integration, so expect a rollout rather than a sign-up. | A4.91 from 47,070 App Store ratings, the top band. Staff can finish an expense by replying to a text. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only on the listing, with NetSuite the one named integration. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365, Workday, Slack and Amazon Business. No desktop app is listed, and Workday sync needs Enterprise. |
| Best for | cards and payables from one finance provider | cards, expenses and bill pay at no cost |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
