What each vendor lists

A full list price means every fee needed for a cost per invoice has a dollar figure. A base fee only means the platform fee has a figure and the per-invoice or per-payment fees do not. These are the same three states the cost records use, plus a fourth for a figure on a marketplace. Figures as of 4 November 2026.

Per user, flat fee, usage and contract

The vendors with a figure charge in different units, so the numbers do not line up without a volume.

Per user: BILL charges $49, $65 and $89 per user per month across Essentials, Team and Corporate. Ramp charges $15 per user per month on Plus plus a platform fee set by team size. Brex charges $0 per user per month on Essentials and $12 on Premium.
Flat monthly fee: Tipalti lists $99 a month for Accounts Payable with unlimited users and no figure for per-invoice or per-payment fees. Routable lists $1,250 a month for Growth.
Usage: Nanonets charges $100 a month for 100 credits, and each run costs $0.02, $0.10 or $0.30.
Contract: Vic.ai lists $25,000 for a 12-month AP Module on AWS Marketplace, plus $2.00 for any invoice over the committed volume.

Melio mixes two units. Its plans run $0, $25, $55 and $80 a month. Go, Core and Boost include 5, 20 and 50 free ACH payments a month and charge $0.50 for each one after that, and Unlimited has free ACH with no cap. Extra users cost $10 a month on Core and Boost, or $8 on annual billing.

Billing toggles

Annual billing changes the figure at Melio and Ramp, and Routable shows a toggle without a second figure.

Melio: Core is $25 billed monthly and $20 billed annually, Boost is $55 and $44, and Unlimited is $80 and $64. Annual billing takes 20% off each.
Ramp: Plus is $15 per user per month, and annual billing takes 20% off. No annual dollar figure is listed.
Routable: Growth shows $1,250 a month under both the monthly and the annual toggle, next to a Save 20% label.
Precoro and the other procure-to-pay tools carry their own billing labels.

Payment fees

BILL, Ramp, Melio and Brex list payment fees. BILL charges $0.59 per ACH payment, $1.99 per mailed check and $19.99 per international USD wire. Ramp charges $0.59 per ACH payment and $1.99 per standard check, and waives both when a bill is paid from a Ramp Checking Account (fee schedule). Melio charges $0.50 per ACH payment after its free monthly allotment of 5 on Go, 20 on Core and 50 on Boost, and Unlimited includes free ACH with no cap. Brex lists $0.00 for domestic ACH, international ACH, checks, domestic wires and international wires. Tipalti lists no figure for per-invoice or per-payment fees, so its $99 is a floor.

Cost per invoice where the fees allow it

BILL, Ramp and Brex are the three vendors with a cost per invoice record. BILL Essentials costs $1.70 an invoice at 1,000 invoices a month and $1.64 at 5,000 invoices a month and 25,000 invoices a month. Ramp’s Free plan costs $1.60 an invoice at every volume, almost all of it payment fees at the standard rates. Brex works out to $0.000 an invoice at every volume, as its plan is $0 per user per month on Essentials and all payment fees are $0.00.

Outsourced AP is priced in the provider’s own units, such as an hourly rate or a monthly package, so it has no cost per invoice to set beside these, as the AP outsourcing guide shows.

The cost per invoice calculator scales both to any volume under the assumptions in the pricing methodology.

Each of these gives a plan name or a sales contact and no dollar figure.

Stampli: every call to action is Request a Quote.
AvidXchange: every call to action books a demo.
Airbase: sold inside Paylocity, with Contact Sales on every call to action.

Medius: AP Essentials covers 1 entity and AP 360 covers 3.
Yooz: Gold Edition is priced by document volume.
Rillion: three packages with a 12-month minimum term.
Coupa: pricing varies with invoice volume, users and features.

What to ask a quote-only vendor

The listed prices leave out fees that decide the real bill. Ask each quote-only vendor for these:

The setup fee, such as MineralTree’s one-time setup fee.
The annual platform fee, and whether it rises with invoice volume.
The per-invoice and per-payment usage fees, which Tipalti and MineralTree both charge without a figure.
Add-ons for matching and capture. Rillion sells PO matching as an add-on, Routable lists it under Scale, and the three-way match guide lists which vendors name each match type.
The minimum term, which is 12 months at Rillion.
The entity limit, which is 1 on Medius AP Essentials and 3 on AP 360.

Tipalti states that standard implementations are included.
