Q

QuickBooks Online Advanced

Pros

• Up to 25 users plus 3 accountant seats, versus 5 users on Plus, without moving to a desktop or ERP product.
• Custom roles and permissions, plus automated approval workflows for bills and invoices, give finance leads more control than lower QuickBooks tiers.
• Batch entry of invoices and expenses (up to 1,000 invoice lines at once) and Excel Spreadsheet Sync speed up high-volume bookkeeping. G2 reviewers often praise these features.
• Unlimited classes, locations and chart of accounts entries remove the 250-account and 40-class caps of lower plans.
• It uses the large QuickBooks app ecosystem and has broad accountant familiarity, which makes outside help easy to find.

Cons

• It is expensive. The list price rose to 340 USD a month for renewals from August 2026, after earlier 2026 increases, and Intuit community forums are full of price-hike complaints.
• It supports only a single entity, with no native consolidation or intercompany accounting. Multi-company groups need add-ons or Intuit Enterprise Suite.
• Customer service draws the most criticism on Capterra and community forums, even with Priority Circle support.
• Some users find the permissions too coarse for narrow tasks such as raising purchase orders only, and the product is less customizable than QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.
• Payroll and some payment volumes cost extra, so the true monthly cost is well above the plan price.

Ramp

Pros

• The Free plan includes unlimited cards, bill pay, AR invoicing and QuickBooks and Xero sync, so small teams can get a lot without paying for software.
• The corporate card needs no personal guarantee or credit check, and Kruze's review reports 1.5% cash back on card spend.
• Reviewers consistently praise how easy it is to issue cards and capture receipts. G2 averages about 4.8 out of 5 from roughly 2,400 reviews.
• There are more than 200 integrations, including over 40 ERPs and major HR and payroll systems such as ADP, Gusto and Workday.
• Month-end accruals post with automatic reversals, and the AI Accounting Agent auto-codes transactions to speed up the close.
• Security includes SOC 2 Type II, PCI compliance, SSO with Okta, Google or Azure, and MFA for every user.

Cons

• Ramp is built for US corporations and LLCs, and a cash balance of around $75,000 is typically expected, which rules out sole traders and many very small firms.
• Card purchases in currencies other than USD carry a 3% foreign transaction fee, and local-currency cards in other countries require Enterprise.
• Multi-entity support, NetSuite and Sage Intacct sync, custom roles and the audit log all require the paid Plus plan, which adds a platform fee on top of per-user pricing.
• Some users describe AP and bill pay as basic and say ERP sync runs in daily batches rather than in real time.
• Some users report thin onboarding and support that relies on bots, and Kruze's reviewer survey gives customer service its lowest score.
