What AP automation software costs at 1,000, 5,000 and 25,000 invoices a month

Summary

BILL prices AP automation by user seat, from $49 a month on the Essentials plan up to a custom Enterprise plan, then adds a fee for every payment it sends. At 5,000 invoices a month the subscription is a small part of the bill: payment fees across ACH, check and international wire make up most of the $8,196 monthly total. A 2.9 percent card fee is published too, shown as a separate scenario rather than folded into that total.

What drives the cost

  • Payment volume: a blended fee of $1.84 a payment across ACH, check and international wire drives most of the cost.
  • Seats: 2 to 20 AP users across the three tiers, at $49 a user on the Essentials plan.
  • Card payments: a published 2.9 percent fee applies but sits outside the headline total.
