Ramp Bill Pay is the accounts payable module of Ramp's finance platform, and the free tier covers more than most paid AP tools. It extracts invoice data with OCR, routes bills through configurable approval workflows, runs automated fraud checks and pays vendors by ACH, card, check or wire. QuickBooks Online and Xero sync is included, and bills map to budget lines. Ramp also handles W-9 collection in bulk and prepares and files 1099 forms. Per-payment fees apply: Ramp lists $0.59 for standard ACH, $1.99 for a standard check and $10 for same-day ACH. Plus, at $15 per user per month plus a platform fee based on team size, adds auto-coded line items, AI approval recommendations, batch payments, payment release approvals, multi-entity support and NetSuite or Sage Intacct sync. A procurement add-on brings three-way matching with Ramp purchase orders. Because the platform fee depends on headcount, ask for a quote before you commit to Plus.
