Best for managing a Rho business card and bank account on iPhone
Rho is the iPhone app for its business banking and cards, with receipts, reimbursement requests and payment approvals. The listing has no price, Rho says it is not a bank, and only an iPhone listing could be read.
Who Rho is for
- Fits if you already bank with Rho and want to approve and file on your iPhone
- Works for founders who handle receipts from their phone
Who Rho is not for
- Not for you if you use Android, as only an iPhone listing is on record
- Pricey if you can't see a price, as none could be read
- Watch out: Rho says it is not a bank, and banking and cards come from Webster Bank, N.A., Member FDIC
- Too light for full expense policies, as the listing shows card, receipt and approval screens only
Why Rho gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price could be read, as rho.co blocked automated requests. Middle by default against the category's $7.50, $12 and $20.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial on record, so nothing to try before paying.
- CFeaturesCard management, receipts, reimbursement requests, payment approvals and balances. It is an account companion more than a full expense system.
- CEase of use4.6 on the App Store, but from only 53 ratings, which is under the 300 we need for a rating to count. You also need an account.
- CPlatforms and integrationsiPhone only on record, with no web or Android listing confirmed. One family of devices.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Rho's own pages on 12 November 2026, and its App Store rating. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. How we review and grade.

Keep Rho, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rho you would be making cards issued through a bank. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 51 other spend and bill pay tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Expense tracking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Cards issued through a bank.
- Money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Rho’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Rho?
Rho offers business banking, payments and corporate card products, with expense tools for receipts and reimbursements. Its App Store listing says Rho is not a bank: banking services are provided and cards issued by Webster Bank, N.A., Member FDIC. Rho's own website blocked automated reading, so this entry rests on the iPhone app listing.
Worth knowing
- No prices could be read: rho.co answered automated requests with a security check, so pricing is unverified.
- The App Store listing is for iPhone only; other platforms were not confirmed from a page we could read.
- Rho says it is not a bank; banking services and cards come from Webster Bank, N.A., Member FDIC.
