Rho vs Ramp Cashback: a published rate vs a rate that varies by customer

Rho publishes its Cashback rates: Rho Platinum up to 2% on Daily Terms (terms apply, qualification required). Ramp's rate varies by customer, and Ramp does not publish it on its cards or pricing pages. NerdWallet (last updated June 15, 2026) reports a range of 0% to 1.5%. Rho Platinum’s top rate is above the top of that range; Rho’s standard rate of up to 1.25% (terms apply) sits inside it, so Ramp’s actual rate for your business could land above or below Rho’s standard rate.

*Rho Platinum is a program, not a plan: no fee and no application, but you qualify by meeting all four conditions: payroll funding routed through Rho, business revenue deposited into Rho Checking, 50% or more of company assets at Rho, and an open Rho Corporate Card. Cashback requires paying the full statement balance on time and applies to up to $1,000,000 of eligible card spend per calendar year. Monthly Terms require $25,000 held at Rho, or $75,000 across Rho and linked external business accounts, and are subject to underwriting. Ramp figures collected October 25, 2026 from ramp.com/pricing and ramp.com/corporate-cards; NerdWallet’s Ramp Card review last updated June 15, 2026.

Rho vs Ramp automation fees

Rho does not charge a subscription, per-user or platform fee for expense management, corporate cards or Bill Pay. That includes rules that automatically process Rho Card transactions and reimbursements, auto-approval below a dollar threshold you set, multi-level approvals by dollar amount, direct-manager approval chains, receipt and attendee requirements set by rule, and recurring syncs to your accounting software, with native integrations for QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Puzzle. Ramp’s free tier covers unlimited cards, configurable approval workflows, bill pay, and QuickBooks Online and Xero integrations. Ramp Plus adds automated approval and sync of routine spend, NetSuite and Sage Intacct integrations, multi-entity support, custom user roles, and an audit log. It costs $15 per user per month, plus a platform fee based on team size that Ramp does not publish (ramp.com/pricing, October 25, 2026). For a 10-person team with every user on Plus, that is $150 a month before the platform fee.

When Ramp is the better fit, and when Rho is

Ramp is the better fit for teams that value the AI-driven expense reviews and approval recommendations in Ramp Plus more than a published Cashback rate (ramp.com/pricing, October 25, 2026). Rho Corporate Card is the better fit when you want to read your Cashback rate before you apply and want rule-based approvals and accounting syncs without a per-seat bill. Rho cards are for US-incorporated businesses only, and card approval and limits are subject to underwriting.
