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

Summary

Ramp's Free plan carries no monthly seat fee, with Bill Pay fees charged per payment sent by ACH, check or wire. At 5,000 invoices a month those payment fees are the entire $8,002 monthly total, since the Free plan has no stated user cap or price at any of the three tiers. Ramp publishes no credit or debit card fee at all, so that scenario shows no figure rather than a free one.

What drives the cost

  • Payment volume: a blended fee of $1.8405 a payment across ACH, check and international wire is the entire monthly cost.
  • Seats: the Free plan has no stated user cap, so it applies at every tier with no subscription fee.
  • Card payments: no published fee, a gap in Ramp's own disclosure, not a $0 cost.
