Expense Management Software
Ramp: features, pricing and who it fits
Ramp ships a corporate card together with spend controls, and its Free plan at $0 includes the card. Plus adds approval workflows for $15 per user monthly along with a platform fee based on team size. Users like receipt matching and sync, though some report slow support and QuickBooks snags.
Who Ramp is for
Best for
- 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

Worth knowing before you buy
- 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
