Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 3 of the 76 other spend and bill pay tools we grade
Routable is a payments platform for businesses that pay many vendors, contractors or payees. It handles vendor onboarding, tax form collection, approvals, domestic and international payments and accounting sync, with an API for sending payouts. The homepage banner says Routable has joined Anchorage Digital.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Routable, taken from its own pages and our grades.

International payments
Pays to 220+ countries and territories in 140+ currencies, in 1-3 business days according to the vendor.
- 6
Vendor onboarding and tax forms

Keep it
To replace Routable you would be making money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for paying many vendors and contractors from one place
Routable pays vendors, contractors and payees, with onboarding, tax forms, approvals and accounting sync. The Growth plan is $1,250 a month, per-payment fees come on top, and the page doesn't list them.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $1,250 a month on yearly billing ($1,575 monthly) for up to 1,000 vendors. Expense tools' dearest tenth starts at $60, though this is a payables platform, not an expense app. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial, and the page shows no way to try it before paying $1,250 a month. |
| Features | C | Mass payouts, international payments, vendor onboarding and tax forms, approvals and accounting sync. PO matching, 1099 and 1042-S filing, OFAC monitoring and SSO are add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. The vendor says implementation and team training average 4 weeks. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with an API for payouts and connections to NetSuite, QuickBooks and Xero. No phone or desktop app listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Routable is for
- Fits if you pay hundreds of vendors or contractors each month and need tax forms collected
- Works for finance teams that want payouts to flow back into NetSuite, QuickBooks or Xero
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you're a small business, as the plan starts at $1,250 a month
- Pricey if you count the per-transaction fees, which vary by method and speed and aren't listed
- Not for you if you want it running in a day: setup averages 4 weeks
- Watch out: vendors beyond the included 1,000 aren't priced on the page
- Watch out: PO matching, 1099 / 1042-S filing, OFAC monitoring and SSO are add-ons
Good to know
Good for
- Companies paying hundreds or thousands of vendors, contractors or partners each month
- Teams that need international payments and tax form handling in one tool
- Developers who want to send payouts through an API
Worth knowing
- On top of the subscription, Routable charges a per-transaction fee that varies by payment method and speed, and the pricing page does not list the amounts.
- Vendors beyond the included 1,000 on Growth and 3,000 on Scale are not priced on the page.
- Several features are add-ons rather than included, such as PO matching, form 1099 / 1042-S filing, OFAC monitoring, SSO/SAML and dedicated Slack support.
- The vendor says implementation and team training average 4 weeks.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Routable you would be making money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner. 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: 60 of the 76 other spend and bill pay tools grade higher. It costs $15,000 a year.
What you could not
- Money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner.
- Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Routable’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.
