Rippling Spend Reviews & Product Details

It's ability to sync to Quickbooks online and include a link to the expense receipt in the journal description. This makes filing receipts easy and looking them up as well. I can already imagine how quickly I will be able to provide my auditors receipts when requested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When the expenses are synced to Quickbooks, it uses the posting date in QBO based on submission date and not the date on the receipt. I go around this by going to the journal and editing the date. Rippling makes this easy by having the journal link on Rippling itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being an all-in-one solution for benefits, payroll, and reimbursements is a benefit. Previously, we had a separate tool for benefits vs. reimbursements so the fact that Rippling can combine them is a time-saver. The Rippling UI is also very intuitive: for example, the process of creating an expense report and submitting new reimbursement items to that expense report is a fairly intuitive process that I appreciate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, there are no dislikes. The tool covers all my needs in an easy-to-use way, both for me and my manager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Rippling Spend's great rebate program for our spending, which is a nice bonus. The automatic text reminders for employees when they spend is really convenient, making the process seamless and reducing friction for obtaining receipt copies and necessary accounting information. It's helpful that Rippling Spend also assists in monitoring employee approval workflows and terminations/new hires since they are our payroll vendor. Additionally, it offers more control functionality and reporting features compared to American Express, like capturing receipt images and issuing multiple cards without incurring multiple fees.

The reporting has been pretty troublesome. Not all fields available for employees are available to be exported into Excel. Also, during demo/onboarding we were told there was an IIF file for QuickBooks Desktop, which is on a hosted server, but after many hours of trying, it does not work. Trying to work with their support team has been frustrating. Rippling does not integrate well with QuickBooks Desktop in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rippling Spend is most highly regarded for its seamless, native integration with Rippling's HR, payroll, and IT systems, creating a single source of truth that automates expense management, policy enforcement, and reporting. Users love the instant, real-time visibility into company spending, reducing manual reconciliation and preventing wasteful expenditures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Commonly cited disadvantages of Rippling Spend include high costs due to modular pricing, slow customer service, and a steep learning curve with a complex interface. Users report that the platform can feel overwhelming, requires manual fixes for some integration sync issues, and lacks in-depth, customizable reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Rippling Spend is how it centralizes expense tracking, corporate cards, and approvals in one system. It gives real-time visibility into company spending and makes it easy to set controls and enforce policies, which helps prevent overspending and reduces manual reconciliation work.

What I dislike about Rippling Spend is that the reporting and categorization can sometimes feel a bit rigid, and it may take extra steps to get very detailed or customized reports. It works well overall, but there’s a learning curve to fully optimize it for specific workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple and organized everything is. It makes it really easy to track expenses, submit reimbursements, and see where money is going without having to jump between different tools. The automation features save a lot of time, and approvals are quick and straightforward. Overall, it just makes managing spend feel a lot less manual and stressful.

One downside is that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many features and settings to navigate. Also, some things aren’t always as intuitive as they could be, so it takes a little time to get used to where everything is. It would also be helpful to have more direct support or clearer guidance for certain tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moving to a new company was a surprisingly painless transition since both organizations use Rippling. Having a single login to access both profiles made it easy to switch between them during onboarding, and it will be especially helpful during tax season. The continuity across organizations really stood out and made the overall experience smooth and stress-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I originally missed the Chrome plugin, but after continued use I don’t really need it anymore. The travel reimbursement flow is incredibly easy, and I recently used the travel extension to book a flight, which was seamless and intuitive. At this point, any improvements would be incremental rather than critical, as the overall Spend experience has been very smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The “One-Stop Shop” Reality: I no longer have to log into one site for my paystubs and another (like Expensify or Concur) for my expenses. Having my salary and reimbursements in the same dashboard makes personal budgeting much easier.

The Mobile App Is Actually Good: I can snap a photo of a coffee receipt on the way out of the cafe, and the AI usually reads the merchant and amount almost instantly. It’s one of the few work apps I genuinely don’t mind keeping on my personal phone.

Direct Deposit Flexibility: I really like that I can split my paycheck into different bank accounts (for example, 20% to savings and 80% to checking) directly in the app, without having to email someone in HR.

Reimbursements on Autopilot: Once an expense is approved, it typically just shows up on my next paycheck. There’s no waiting for separate checks or dealing with awkward manual transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sync delays: Occasionally, there’s about a 24-hour lag between when it shows that “Payroll has run” and when the money actually hits my bank account. That said, it often seems more related to my bank’s processing time than to Rippling itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Rippling Spend is how easy it makes managing expenses and company spending in one place. The ability to control budgets, track expenses in real time, and streamline approvals removes a lot of manual work and guesswork. It’s very intuitive and helps keep everything organized and transparent across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, the experience has been very smooth and efficient. The platform is feature-rich, and as you continue using it, you discover more capabilities that make managing expenses even easier and more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Rippling Spend is how easy it makes expense reporting and reimbursements. Mileage reimbursement in particular is incredibly smooth as the calculations are automatic, accurate, and save a lot of time. I also appreciate having expenses tied directly into the broader Rippling platform, so everything lives in one secure place instead of bouncing between tools.

Honestly, not much. Most of the functionality just works as expected. If I had to nitpick, I’d say there’s a learning curve the very first time you submit an expense, but after that it’s straightforward and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
