Enterprise is quote only. Payment fees are extra. Checked 26 Sep 2026.
Plus adds a platform fee Ramp does not publish; 20 percent off billed annually. Checked 26 Sep 2026.
Task: pay a vendor bill.
Both sync to QuickBooks Online and Xero and charge the same standard ACH and check fees, so a move is mostly about your vendors and your history.
BILL's terms make no data-export promise. Export reports to CSV or Excel, and let pending payments post: cancellation waits for them.
BILL pays vendors already on its network without collecting their bank details. Off the network, the new tool needs their payment details.
Ramp Free syncs QuickBooks Online and Xero; NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Business Central need Plus. On BILL those syncs are on quote-only Enterprise.
On software, yes: Ramp's core is free and Plus lists at $15 per user a month plus a platform fee Ramp does not publish, against BILL's $49 to $89 per user a month. Standard payment fees match: $0.59 per ACH and $1.99 per check on both.
Ramp, 85 to 78 on our 100-point rubric.
A 5-user team on Team pays $325 a month in seats. With 200 ACH payments and 50 checks a month, fees add about $217, so roughly $6,500 a year in total (our estimate from published prices).
Ramp Free costs $0 and covers cards, expenses, travel, basic AP and QuickBooks Online or Xero sync. At list price, 100 billable users on Plus comes to $18,000 a year on monthly billing or about $14,400 on annual billing, before the platform fee.
Both, at different prices. Ramp syncs NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Business Central on Plus at a published $15 per user a month; BILL puts those syncs on its quote-only Enterprise plan.
On QuickBooks Online or Xero, most BILL teams self-onboard from a trial and pay bills within days; a NetSuite partner reports weeks for a basic setup and 2 to 3 months for complex multi-entity work. Ramp says 30 days, which we have not verified.
Ramp, yes: it runs a first-party hosted MCP server that acts as the signed-in user. BILL only through its API: its MCP server is a documentation server, and creating a payment needs an SMS-verified session.
No. Ramp is a financial technology company; Ramp Checking deposits are held at First Internet Bank of Indiana, Member FDIC (Ramp's business banking page, checked 11 October 2026).
BILL's terms make no specific data-export promise, so export before you leave: reports export to CSV or Excel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, with no prorated refund.
