We have to be very conscious while submitting expenses, as it gets really difficult to correct errors afterwards.

Rippling simplifies HR and payroll

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Rippling Spend from other similar products?

Rippling Spend stands out from other spend management products because it is fully integrated with Rippling’s all-in-one HR and IT platform. Instead of operating as a stand-alone tool, it automatically syncs with payroll, employee data, and accounting, which reduces manual entry and errors. The real-time visibility into expenses, customizable approval workflows, and automated policy enforcement make it more efficient than many competitors. The ease of issuing and managing corporate cards directly within the platform is also a strong differentiator.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Rippling Spend is how seamlessly it integrates with other parts of the platform. I really like that expense tracking, approvals, and corporate cards are all managed in one place without needing multiple tools. The real-time visibility into spend and automated workflows make it much easier to control costs and save time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes the customer support takes more time to respond during peak times

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d recommend taking full advantage of Rippling Spend’s integration with the rest of the Rippling platform. It’s especially valuable for teams that want to reduce manual work and keep HR, payroll, and finance all in sync. Make sureto set up approval workflows and expense policies early, since the automation features will save a lot of time. Overall, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for an all-in-one system rather than a standalone spend tool.
