## Rippling Spend Reviews
  ### 1. Rippling Spend integrations with Quickbooks

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wankel G. | Fractional Finance Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend helps me a lot by automating the journal posting to Quickbooks by synching it from the Rippling Spend platform. Without this function I will have to manually post line by line the hundreds of receipts I get every month.

  ### 2. Rippling’s Intuitive All-in-One Platform Saves Us Time

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan M. | Support Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

So far, there are no dislikes. The tool covers all my needs in an easy-to-use way, both for me and my manager

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously, we had a separate tool for benefits vs. reimbursements so the fact that Rippling can combine them is a time-saver, and it allows us to familiarize ourselves with one UX and not multiple, across different tools. Rippling gives us consistency, stability, and some time savings

**Official Response from Annacy Sampas:**

> Hi Ryan! Thanks for reviewing Rippling Spend! So glad you're enjoying it!

  ### 3. Flexible Spending Solution, but with Reporting Challenges for QBDesktop

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marissa G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Rippling Spend to manage corporate credit cards and bill payments, streamline receipt collection, simplify recordkeeping, and ensure accurate expense coding. It offers a great rebate program, and employee reminders reduce friction in providing necessary accounting information.

  ### 4. Rippling Drove My Property Purchases

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kirck A. | Patient Service Representative, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend solves fragmented expense management by unifying corporate cards, expenses, and reimbursements with HR and payroll data in one platform. It eliminates manual data entry and receipt chasing, automates policy enforcement to prevent wasteful spending, and offers real-time visibility into company-wide expenses. Benefits include faster reimbursements, reduced administrative work (up to 75%), and proactive budget control.

  ### 5. Rippling

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jean S.

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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 do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend solves the challenge of managing company expenses, corporate cards, and reimbursements across different systems by bringing everything into one platform. It streamlines approvals, enforces spending policies automatically, and provides real-time visibility into company spend. For me, it reduces manual tracking, improves control over expenses, and makes reporting and reconciliation much more efficient.

  ### 6. Easy and efficient way to manage company spending

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aurela D. | Product Implementation Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend solves the problem of having to manage expenses across multiple systems and manual processes. Before, it was harder to track spending, approvals, and reimbursements in one place. Now everything is centralized, which makes it much easier to stay organized and keep visibility into company spend.

For me, it saves time, reduces back-and-forth on approvals, and makes expense tracking much more efficient and accurate.

  ### 7. Intuitive and Powerful, but bring back the chrome plugin

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Travis T. | Front End Developer / Data Integration  (ETL), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to edit anything I want about my payroll, my 401k, get into my benefits and print new cards. I am also able to request time off as well as approve time off. our learning center is integrated as well which is nice. It is the one stop shop for HR and more. Saves me from having to email an HR person 90% of the time.

**Official Response from Annacy Sampas:**

> Hi Travis! Thanks for reviewing Rippling Spend on G2! We're so glad that you're enjoying Rippling, even our Travel tool. Noted on your feedback to Chrome plug-in. 

Thanks again for choosing Rippling!

  ### 8. Fantastic!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kamal A.

**Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It’s clean, it’s fast, and it genuinely makes you feel like you’re working for a tech-forward company. If you’re tired of digging through emails for PDF paystubs, you’ll love having everything organized in one timeline, all in one place.

  ### 9. A seamless and powerful platform for managing everything

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ahmed A. | Customer Success Manager

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend solves the challenge of managing company expenses, approvals, and budgeting across different teams by bringing everything into one centralized platform. It provides real-time visibility into spending, simplifies approvals, and ensures better control over budgets. For me, it reduces manual tracking, speeds up processes, and makes expense management much more efficient and transparent across the organization.

  ### 10. Everything I need for expenses and reimbursements without the usual headache

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul M. | Customer Success Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

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.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend removes the friction from expense reporting by automating calculations and keeping everything centralized. Instead of manually tracking mileage or doing reimbursement math myself, the platform handles it for me, which reduces errors and saves time. The benefit is a faster, more reliable reimbursement process with less back-and-forth.

  ### 11. Efficient Expense Tracking with Room for UI Improvement

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I like that Rippling Spend allows me to document my expenses easily as an employee and enables management to reconcile effortlessly. The weekly email summaries are particularly valuable to me, as they allow me to easily track and update expenses, especially for those on autopay. Support is helpful if needed, and recent upgrades, especially regarding AI, make the product enjoyable.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

I think the interface of Rippling Spend could be more user-friendly because right now it's kinda clunky. Also, I wish it had the ability to scroll through transactions more smoothly. This has been improved upon during my time using the platform, though.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend allows me to document my expenses easily, and management can reconcile effortlessly. Weekly email summaries help me track and update expenses, especially ones on autopay.

  ### 12. User-Friendly Platform with Strong Tools and Room for Small Improvements

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tetiana Y. | EAL instructor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling Spend continues to be easy to navigate and intuitive to use. The tools are well-organized, which makes it simple to submit, track, and manage expenses. I also appreciate how everything is integrated in one place, so I don’t have to switch between multiple systems to complete basic tasks. Overall, it saves time and reduces confusion.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Overall, my experience has been very positive and I have not encountered any major issues with Rippling Spend itself. However, last year there was a delay with the delivery of tax slips, which caused some inconvenience. I am not sure if this was directly related to Rippling Spend or to the Rippling platform more generally, but timely access to important documents is essential, so improving reliability in this area would be helpful.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the help of different features it is easy to guide yourself through any process.

  ### 13. Saves Time with User-Friendly Interface

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Heather K. | Business and Marketing Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I use Rippling Spend for my business expenses and reimbursements. It saves me so much time and is actually an enjoyable platform to navigate. I like its ease of use, interconnectivity, and intuitive design. I stay up to date on my expense reporting, and our accounting team is saving time by not having to track down receipts or verification of expenses. Everything else is excellent!

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The only improvement I would suggest is to make it a bit easier to add additional receipt images to a single expense item. Sometimes a receipt is cut off and it needs another image to capture all of the important details.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Rippling Spend for business expenses and reimbursements. It saves me time, is enjoyable to navigate, and keeps my expense reporting up to date. Our accounting team saves time by not tracking down receipts or verifications.

**Official Response from Annacy Sampas:**

> So glad you're enjoying Rippling Spend, Heather! Thanks again for choosing Rippling!

  ### 14. Makes Expense Reporting a Breeze

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christopher F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I like how Rippling Spend makes submitting my expenses a lot faster, quicker, and easier. It's integrated in the same platform that I use for everything else in my job, which is super convenient. I really appreciate the efficiency of it; once it scans the receipt, it fills in all the fields, and all you have to do is confirm it. It's really nice and easy, which is a relief because I used to dread doing my expenses. Also, the initial setup was super easy. I'm glad we switched to Rippling Spend.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Yeah. I guess the one thing in my food expenses, it automatically defaulted, let's say, Starbucks receipt to a business meeting. Well, the problem with a business meeting is that it then requires an extra field entry of who else was in this business meeting, and it wasn't a business meeting. I was on the road, and I needed a coffee, so I expensed it. So I think I would suggest it default to just, you know, meals on the road rather than business expense.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend makes submitting expenses a lot faster, quicker, and easier. It's integrated with other work tools, increasing efficiency. The receipt scanning feature fills in fields automatically, reducing the tediousness of expense reporting.

  ### 15. Effortless Onboarding, Well-Designed Expense Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Peter F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I found Rippling Spend really smooth for onboarding. All my contract, onboarding documents, payroll and benefits setup, company email setup, and work from home reimbursement are handled through it, which means I didn't have to send any PDFs over email or anything like that. I appreciate that the login process isn't annoying. Additionally, the expense reimbursement feature is set up really well. Also, the payroll viewer is nice. Overall, the result of using Rippling Spend is very nice.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

There's an org chart feature that my company doesn't use (we use a different tool), so it's just partially filled out, and a bit misleading in that regard.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I find onboarding smooth with Rippling Spend, handling my contracts, payroll, and reimbursements without email PDFs. Expense reimbursement is set up well, and the login process isn't annoying.

  ### 16. Fast, Efficient Receipt Capture via Text with Rippling

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Corey K. | Grounds Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I like that I can take a picture of receipts from purchases made with my Rippling card and send them via text message.  I can do the same with adding a memo, it just makes it much faster and more efficient for me.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

I dislike that I cannot add cost codes to my purchases on the Rippling mobile app.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend is solving the problem of me efficiently coding and verifying my purchases.  This allows me to quickly get back to my other work responsibilities.

  ### 17. Reliable software for HR management

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bia M. | HR Business Partner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

We were able to explore new feature such as the performance review, 9box, LMS and others. It was great to see how Rippling presents those features. Some of them were not exactly what we expected so we decided to switch, but it was still interesting to still learn more about the platform. The performance review module is one of my favorite. Easy to set up, adjustable and customizable. Every time we needed assistance from the Rippling team, they were there for us as well, it was easy to communicate with them. We also explored more the reports.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The 9box-calibration module would be something, it is very different from what we are used to seeing in the marketing, seemed a bit confusing. Something that is very important is that in the performance review, the master admins can see the everything *of course*, however, it means they can see how people evaluated them. There should be something that could be done about that. I understand they are master admins, and by being one, I believe we shouldnt be able to see that specific information. 

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having all our team in one software is obviously the best part of it,I say that because we have team members in different countries and we can manage all of them from the platform. Also, easily visualizing payroll and global payroll. Another issue that Rippling helps us out is spend management!

  ### 18. Great Tool

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

The experts that helped me set up the tool were super knowledgeful. The policies are simple to set up, and we were able to create "workaround" policies that were specific to our complicated approval process. We are still piloting this tool so I don't have too much feedback yet.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The tool isn’t strict enough with receipts. I had an employee who was able to upload 10+ receipts to a single expense, and I wish it would have automatically kicked that back and required her to submit them one by one. Also, while this is more specific to our company than the tool itself, we use a different accounting platform and I wish it could integrate with Rippling Spend.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed a tool that would support an easy approval process and make it simple to submit expenses, especially for our field team, since they currently have to print out a paper expense form. It’s still very early for us—we’ve only been using the tool for about two weeks with a small pilot group—but so far it’s been great.

  ### 19. Exceptional Support and Comprehensive HRIS Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karla P. | Senior Manager, People and Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling is comprehensive in its product offering and I believe it is the best HRIS on the market.  That being said, the best thing about Rippling is the support team.  I can't say enough about how great the support and implementation team is.  They definitely go the extra mile when it comes to assisting with launching the product in order to tailor the features to your organization. They are responsive, patient, and incredibly resourceful.  We are so glad to be working with Rippling.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

There is a lot of upfront work to do so it does take a while to implement.  I am not sure if there is any way around this but just something that delays the roll-out.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automation of HR tasks, greater coordination of corporate processes, easier access to corporate training and access for employees, streamlining expense procedures, increased accountability for employees, streamlining of payroll processes, increased security and access for employees with SSO.

  ### 20. Saving time like never before with integrations from Rippling

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie D. | Project Manager and Team Support, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I like that Rippling is connected to nearly all of my company's tools! It syncs to our training system, project management tool, and our financial apps with ease. My current process has been to manually apply employee deductions and 401k amounts. I'm so excited to use Rippling to make that process easier and quicker. The self-implementation was a key factor to our success with Rippling. We were able to do it at our own pace while still getting support from the Rippling team.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The downsides I've found are when you're in the implementation phase, you cannot use the chat feature for help. You must connect via email with your implementation manager. Which is great for most options, but for smaller issues I wish I could've used a chat function. An item I've seen in the contract but haven't encountered yet is that whatever headcount for employees you sign up for for that contract term, that's the lowest number you can have for the term. So, if you sign a contract for 25 employees, and you lose 5 employees, you would still be paying for 25 employees until the term is up. I wish there was a prorating system in place of this.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling is solving my problem with the current disconnect of my software and tools. I have 10-15 tools that I use in a day, and having to manually adjust each one to match the other has been an absolute time-suck. I'm thrilled with Rippling's connectivity and ease for connecting my tools. A perfect example is when I used to run payroll, I would then have to manually apply 401k deductions for each employee in the 401k website which would take about 30 minutes each payroll. Now that will be an automated deduction due to the integration with our 401k group. Rippling is saving me time and time is money :)

It gives me clear visibility into my spending and makes reimbursement straightforward and fast.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

What I dislike about Rippling Spend is that it can sometimes take a little time to understand the approval workflow or spending limits, especially at the beginning. If you are not using it often, you may need to double check where to upload receipts or track the status of a reimbursement.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend solves the problem of managing company expenses through manual tracking, spreadsheets, or long email threads.

For me, it keeps everything organized in one place. I can submit expenses, upload receipts, and track approvals without confusion.

  ### 23. Versatile Modules and Proactive Team Drive a Great Experience

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jasmine H. | Office Manager, HR / AR/ AP, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

This product provides a selection of modules that can be mixed and matched according to your needs. It takes care of payroll, taxes, all the necessary forms, expenses, and even manages credit cards. The team behind it is motivated to learn and is always working on further improvements. Overall, I find the product to be quite intuitive and easy to use.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

There were some glitches in the past, but those have now been resolved. I did notice a few minor limitations when attempting to fix system-generated glitches, which, upon reflection, is understandable. Since the forms were created automatically, any changes would also have been applied automatically, so resolving these issues required a rather lengthy workaround. To be fair, though, their support team is always helpful, even if sometimes things take a bit longer.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The platform provides payroll automation, manages payroll taxes, tracks time off, and oversees spending. Credit card management is expected to be introduced soon. It also supports annual tax filings and forms with the CRA.

  ### 24. Intuitive, Straightforward, Needs Better Status Updates

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Margaryta P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I like the interface of Rippling Spend; it's pretty easy to understand. The help tooltips are also something I like, as they helped me navigate through tasks without needing to ask HR questions. Using the platform for the first time, these features made it easier for me to manage my tasks.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Looks like the status on Rippling Spend doesn't update on time. I got my reimbursement with the gift card, but it still says pending. There is also no note about the reimbursement being sent to me as a gift card.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Rippling Spend to submit reimbursements easily and pick my health plan. Its intuitive interface and helpful tooltips made it easy to navigate without HR assistance, but the reimbursement status feature could update more timely.

  ### 25. HRIS for Busy People

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emily S. | Special Event Coordinator

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling Spend made it easy to spend money - maybe too easy?! Managing cards, especially in the offboarding process, was huge. I can't tell you how many times an employee leaves the company and we forget to cancel their credit card.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The way that Rippling requires the card payment to be completed by wire each day is crazy. I also experienced fraud on my card for a large amount (almost $10k) and Rippling took the payment from our account while the fraudulent charge was under investigation (which could take up to 90 days)! For a small company, that amount of money could be really damaging. Thankfully the disputed charge was approved, but it took convincing to get Rippling to return the money to us.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I appreciate that Spend keeps us within the Rippling platform and makes it even more of an "all in one" solution, but I don't recommend Spend just yet.

  ### 26. Efficient Expense Management with an Easy Interface

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexa M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I like Rippling Spend for its easy interface, which simplifies managing company cards, corporate billing, and expenses. It offers a simple way to send reminders, ask questions about transactions, and obtain approvals. I appreciate the memos, emailing receipts, and splitting expenses features. As someone responsible for resolving pending transactions for a large team, Rippling Spend makes it easy to quickly and efficiently clear up many transactions. The initial setup was easy and straightforward, although it would be great to have more example policies to refer to.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling Travel has repetitive listings for hotel pricing without distinguishing why one price is higher than another. It takes an excessive amount of steps to book on someone's behalf.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I find Rippling Spend's easy interface helps me send reminders and questions about transactions, obtain approvals, and efficiently resolve pending transactions for a large team.

  ### 27. Rippling for everyone! It's a new era!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Feleecia K. | Operations Associate, Automotive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2024

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I also really like that Rippling gives you a clear, real-time view of your workforce through customizable dashboards and reporting. The interface is clean and intuitive, making tasks easy, even for people who aren’t tech-savvy. Another standout is how quickly you can spin up new policies or workflows without needing engineering support, which makes the platform feel both powerful and accessible. Their customer support and in-app guidance are also helpful whenever you need quick answers.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Some features can feel a bit overwhelming at first because there’s so much functionality, so more built-in guidance or walkthroughs for new users would help. Reporting is powerful, but creating highly customized reports can take some trial and error. Pricing can also get a little confusing since many features are add-ons, so having clearer package breakdowns would make it easier to budget. Additionally, while integrations are extensive, certain third-party connections can require extra configuration that not everyone expects.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling saves time, lowers costs, and creates a smoother workflow for HR, admin, and IT departments.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

I love using Rippling at my company for its efficiency in submitting time off requests. It is incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to move around the interface effortlessly, which makes completing various tasks like sending invoices for expenses and completing quarterly reviews a breeze. This intuitive navigation significantly enhances my user experience by eliminating any complexities that often come with software platforms. Additionally, the initial setup of Rippling was remarkably easy, which stood out for me, especially since I had no previous knowledge of the tool; this simplicity of getting started is something I truly value. Furthermore, Rippling works seamlessly with my Okta account, enhancing my overall productivity by integrating smoothly with tools I already use. I am so satisfied with this product that I would definitely recommend it a solid 10 out of 10 to friends or colleagues.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Sometimes inputting the 2FA might be a little time-consuming.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Rippling to easily submit time off requests, streamline expense invoices, and complete quarterly reviews efficiently.

  ### 30. Easy to use, save lot of time

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sally W. | Director of children ministry, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2024

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I was notified on an unauthorized expense attempted to charge on my FSA Rippling card two months ago. Rippling was able to stop it so it did not go through at the store and saved me from a potential loss. I was in peace to know the high security level at Rippling.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

I have started clocking my hours via timecards three weeks ago. But the user interface was not easy to get to the page where I enter my work hours and break. 
Also, I have been receiving email reminders to review expenses that occurred last year and have been approved. I was told there's a glitch in the Rippling system, and I could ignore the emails. But it has been going on since a year ago. It would be great if it can be fixed promptly.  

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Expense management - easy to submit expense reports because transactions usually show up within 36 hours in the app, After I attached the invoices, Rippline was able to recognize the matching expenses. It's time saving. 
Payroll - the pay stub includes very helpful information and details. The format is easy to read and understand.

  ### 31. The best human resources management platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diego Felipe M. | C# consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling keeps enhancing their built-in extensions and services. Our company recently implemented a new tool to evaluate colleagues, which is very cool and complements the rest of the platform's capabilities. Now, we are able to track our performance and provide feedback based on it.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

I believe Rippling is heading in the right direction, but the platform could be more user-friendly. There are some issues with permissions that let you see options you aren't actually able to use, which creates a lot of confusion when you're trying to find the right tool you need.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing contracts is straightforward and transparent, allowing me to send out new contract negotiations with ease. Previously, I used Rippling to create invoices, and now the platform also automatically updates my payment information each month, saving me the hassle of doing it manually. Rippling is integrated with third-party software for time tracking, so my reports are uploaded automatically without any need for my intervention. This lets me relax and enjoy both my work and my free time, knowing that my payments will arrive smoothly and without any problems.

  ### 32. Quality Inn Oakwood Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Courtney S. | Sales Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

We use Rippling as our payroll platform at work, and I’ve found it to be incredibly easy to use. The interface is straightforward, which makes navigating payroll tasks simple and efficient. I especially appreciate how intuitive the system is — even complex processes like onboarding or managing employee information feel seamless.
What I like most is how everything is centralized. Payroll, benefits, and employee data are all connected in one place, which saves time and reduces the chance of errors. The automation features also make routine tasks faster and less stressful, and the reporting tools are clear and accessible.
Overall, Rippling has made payroll management much smoother for our team. It’s reliable, user‑friendly, and helps us stay organized without adding extra work.


**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The basics (like running payroll) are very intuitive, but deeper customization and integrations can take time to master. More guided onboarding or training resources could help new users.








**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is solving proper clock in and clock out times. It is also helping with cutting back on labor.

  ### 33. Great Card Management and Support, But Reporting Needs Improvement

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa M. | Finance Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

The corporate card and ease of issuing them is fantastic. The auto pull of transactions into the platform is also great. Whenever I have a question or need help, customer service (Dani) has been incredible.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

There should be a feature that warns of duplicates between card transactions/reimbursements (Dani created a question that should help this - but it should be a natural AI part of the program)

Reporting features are somewhat clunky. It is VERY frustrating to not easily be able to download a batch of receipts - which is needed when billing clients for expenses.

Transactions should be able to be sorted by Status, Department, Category, Approval Status - you can't. 

Pending charges on the cards hold on for WAY too long (well over 4 weeks often)

Would love to see AI suggested categorizing of expenses.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously employees were using personal cards for all purchases and submitting reimbursements. It is much better having them make these purchases on a corporate card.

  ### 34. Subpar System, Very DIY and High-pressure Sales Tactics

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Photography | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Nothing.  Unlike every other credit card/spend vendor we have, Rippling charges you just to have an account with them.  

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The system is very self-service. Each year at open enrollment, our team had to enter all benefits details and build out the full user experience ourselves, with minimal implementation support.

When we decided to move to another HRIS/payroll vendor, Rippling informed us that access would be cut off on the last day of the contract and would not allow a transition period to retrieve stored documents.

Our new vendor, on the other hand, expedited implementation and had us running payroll within four weeks.

The only service we kept with Rippling was their spend/credit card platform, which charges a fee simply to be on the platform  (unlike many other vendors). Similar to our HRIS experience, the account management approach felt very sales-driven. Despite multiple conversations where we clearly declined expanding our credit card usage, the same questions continued to come up.

After I directly communicated that we were not interested and did not appreciate the pressure, we were asked to attend an “urgent” meeting regarding a supposed risk issue. Ultimately, there was no actual risk.  This was just another attempt to revisit expansion conversations.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nothing.  It's just a credit card and expense management platform like all the others.

**Official Response from Annacy Sampas:**

  ### 35. Streamlined HR & Payroll Automation That Saves Time

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Akash D. | SEO Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling has greatly improved the efficiency of our HR and payroll processes. The automation features, particularly for payroll and time tracking, have saved us a significant amount of time. Although there was a learning curve and the initial setup took some effort, having everything on a single platform has reduced the need to switch between different tools. The support has been generally satisfactory, but a faster or more versatile support system would help it feel more suitable for enterprise needs. The pricing structure isn’t always clear, so expect to receive a custom quote. All in all, it’s a robust solution for businesses that prioritize integration and automation rather than simplicity.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The pricing structure is modular and can be somewhat unclear. While Core HR and payroll begin at a base rate, additional features such as reporting and custom workflows require a custom quote. Due to the platform’s extensive and robust feature set, new users—particularly administrators—might initially find it complex to navigate. For administrators, there are also some mobile limitations: although the employee mobile interface is well-designed, admins may not be able to complete all essential tasks, such as running payroll, from a mobile device.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Rippling has delivered several tangible benefits to our business, particularly when we fully embraced its capabilities. Since Rippling brings all the modules together, we now only need to maintain a single, reliable source for employee data. Tasks such as payroll processing, tax calculation and filing, benefits enrollment, time tracking, approvals, and off-cycle runs—which previously could take hours or even days—are now mostly automated or can be completed with just a few clicks. This shift allows our HR and finance teams to dedicate more time to strategic initiatives rather than routine administrative work.

Automating tax calculations, deductions, compliance with labor laws, and keeping audit logs has significantly reduced the risk of human error and helps us stay compliant with legal and regulatory requirements, minimizing the chance of mistakes or penalties. The onboarding process is much more efficient: new hire data, payroll setup, benefits enrollment, equipment provisioning, and IT account creation can all be triggered automatically. Offboarding is just as smooth, with access revoked, device permissions shut down, and benefits and payroll finalized—improving both security and operational efficiency.

Employees benefit from a portal, accessible via web or mobile, where they can view pay stubs, request time off, check benefits, and update their personal information. This not only eases the support burden on our HR team but also makes processes more transparent and convenient for employees.

None come to mind

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I am currently employed as a manager at my organization and I use the Rippling app on a daily basis and it is a great, user friendly app and it has made payroll, benefits and HR related tasks super easy!

It is easy to implement and easily integrated into our daily employment related tasks.

I rank this app higher than any other app I have used in the past.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

I have not come across anything that I do not like about Rippling!

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling helps use to resolve any of our employment, benefits, spending and HR related concerns, as it is able to generate reports that are useful for tracking and monitoring. If it weren't for this feature, it would take me so much time to generate these reports on my own, so it allows for better use of my time in my day to day activities.

  ### 39. Great All-in-One Platform, But Canadian Support Needs Improvement

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel K. | Operations Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling allows us to consolidate a variety of our previous platforms into one. We utilize various modules such as Spend for our company credit cards, RPass for our password manager, Surveys and performance reviews, Payroll, and Recruiting. Rippling has a lot of functionality, however it does come with it's challenges to learn how to use these functionalities. We have utilized customer support many times, although the turnaround time to a resolution can be long (2-3 weeks)

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Because Rippling is an American based company, we encounter challenges sometimes with our Canadian entity. We particularly face challenges with the Spend module and company credit cards by being a Canadian based company. Additionally, features are often taken away or changed with the frequent updates which can be difficult for our workflow.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling was able to consolidate many of our platforms into one (ie payroll, HR, Password manager, expenses and credit cards). Rippling also allows automations and better overall workflows for most things.

  ### 40. Simplified Expense Tracking with Intuitive Interface

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel L. | Alumni and Member Care coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I love using Rippling for tracking expenses, uploading receipts, and requesting reimbursements because it makes these tasks incredibly easy and accessible. The process is so straightforward and quick, saving me valuable time. Additionally, Rippling simplifies viewing my time off and departmental spending, which is a significant advantage in managing my work responsibilities. The interface is a standout feature for me; it's intuitively designed, with clear menus and categories that facilitate access to necessary information smoothly. Compared to other platforms I've experienced, Rippling's interface makes finding information effortless by having well-organized drop-downs and menu buttons that appear when needed. This clarity leads to a more efficient workflow, allowing me to locate and record the information I require without frustration. The transition to Rippling has been a positive change for our team, especially after using other tools like Google Forms, as Rippling has enhanced usability and efficiency across our staff. Moreover, the initial setup was simple, adding to its overall efficacy as a valuable tool in our work environment.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Sometimes when I'm uploading receipts, there seem to be excessive or different looking menus that pop up instead of taking me directly to the same screen every time. Depending on which part of the receipt recording I click on, the navigation experience can be inconsistent and disruptive.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling simplifies expense tracking, receipt management, and viewing time off, with a user-friendly interface that enhances accessibility and speed for managing my departmental logistics.

**Official Response from Annacy Sampas:**

  ### 42. Rippling Review: Streamlining HR, Payroll, and IT in One Platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software

**Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

What I like best about Rippling Spend is how simple and transparent it makes managing expenses. Submitting and tracking expenses is really straightforward, and having it integrated with the rest of the Rippling platform means everything—from reimbursements to approvals—happens quickly without extra back-and-forth. It saves time and removes a lot of the usual hassle around expense management.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

One thing I dislike about Rippling Spend is that some parts of the expense process can feel a bit rigid, especially if you need to make edits or handle edge cases. It’s generally smooth for standard use, but when something falls outside the usual flow, it can take a little extra time to figure out or resolve.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling Spend solves the problem of slow, manual expense reporting and reimbursement processes. Instead of dealing with spreadsheets, emails, or separate tools, everything is handled in one place with clear visibility into spending and approvals. For me, that means faster submissions, quicker reimbursements, and less time spent tracking down status updates—it just makes the whole process more efficient and hassle-free.

The interface is intuitive, and the reporting features make it easy to get quick insights without extra manual work.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

One thing I dislike is that some advanced configurations or reports require more setup time or technical knowledge. Occasionally, support response times can be slower during peak periods. However, Rippling is constantly improving, and their help resources are quite comprehensive.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling solves the challenge of managing HR, payroll, benefits, and IT across multiple systems. Before using Rippling, processes like onboarding employees, tracking payroll, and managing devices were time-consuming and prone to errors.

With Rippling, all of these tasks are integrated into a single platform, which saves time, reduces mistakes, and makes it easier to access and manage employee data. For me as a user, it means less administrative hassle and more efficiency in day-to-day operations.

  ### 45. Immediate Access to Weekly Per Diem

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christopher S. | Electronic Medical Record Trainer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2026

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I have Immediate access to my weekly per diem pay

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

The timeframe for which a charge is settled.  For example, hotel authorizes a certain amount of money and week later the amount is settled/charged.  This causes a problem because last week per diem is still tied to the next week per diem so sometimes you may go to weeks without receiving per diem.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My company using the Rippling Spend cards helps me with travel expenses in the field such as airfare, hotel and car rental.

  ### 46. Rippling is the absolute best, most robust HRIS out there!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jisselle B. | Founder &amp; Managing Director , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2024

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

They've improved the UI and Apps, it's easier to navigate on the panel. 

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Although their UI has improved significantly, it can still be a challenge to navigate at times. They're heading in the right direction with their improvements, and I hope there's more to come. 

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling solves so many problems for my business and my clients! I manage Global HR with clients in the US & UK, and Rippling is always my recommendation. For our US employees, I can manage everything for HR on one platform, tax information is easy to grab, and you can add insurance, your 401K integration and more. It's a one-stop shot for everything HR. 

On the other hand, for Global EOR and Contractors, I can manage time and attendance easily, payroll seamlessly and have all my compliance there too. It's so robust!

  ### 47. Modern, User-Friendly HR Platform with Seamless Onboarding and Transparent Features

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eddie F. | Composite Technician, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

What I Like

Clean and easy to use: The interface is modern and straightforward. I can find everything I need — payroll, time off, and personal info — without having to ask HR for help.

Fast onboarding: Setting up my account and signing documents was simple. Everything from tax forms to direct deposit was done digitally.

Mobile friendly: The mobile app makes it easy to check pay history or request time off even when I’m not at work.

Transparency: I like that I can see my pay details, benefits, and deductions clearly laid out. No guessing or confusion.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Login/security steps: Sometimes it feels like there are too many verification steps when logging in, especially from a new device.

Support response time: If something’s off (like a missing form or delayed update), it can take a bit for support or HR to resolve it.

Minor glitches: Occasionally, pages take a while to load or log me out unexpectedly — not major, but a little frustrating.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling makes managing my employment details a lot easier. Compared to other systems I’ve used, it’s more user-friendly and organized. There’s room for improvement in response time and app reliability, but overall it’s a solid, modern platform that keeps everything in one place.

**Official Response from Annacy Sampas:**

> Hi Eddie! Thank you for reviewing Rippling on G2! Your feedback is really helpful as we continue to hone our products. Appreciate your great review about Rippling's user experience and onboarding and we will pass back your notes on logins, support, etc. Thanks again! 

  ### 48. Rippling Streamlines HR Tasks, but focus on desktop version for best use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole K. | Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

Rippling has been such a helpful platform for us at Revive. The browser version is especially easy to navigate — whether it’s submitting time, filing expenses, or finding someone on our org chart, everything feels intuitive and well organized.

It’s been great having so many HR and operations tools all in one place. Instead of jumping between systems, we can handle payroll, benefits, expenses, and approvals within a single dashboard. That simplicity saves a lot of time and keeps things running smoothly across teams.

Overall, Rippling has made day-to-day admin tasks more efficient and transparent, which helps our team focus on the work that really matters.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

From my perspective, the mobile app isn’t quite as user-friendly as the browser version. It works for basic things like clocking in or checking paystubs, but navigating between features feels a little clunky.

I also find it hard to understand how (or if) our other platforms — like HubSpot, Lattice, or even our social media tools — actually connect within Rippling. If those integrations could be more visible or have a clear workflow that ties marketing and people-ops tools together, it would make my job a lot easier and help me see the full benefit of the system.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rippling simplifies a lot of the day-to-day operational tasks that used to be spread across multiple tools. Things like time tracking, expense submission, and org visibility are all centralized now, which saves time and reduces back-and-forth with HR, finance, and operations.

  ### 49. Great HR Management Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Johanna V. | Associate  Digital Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

I really appreciate how Rippling has brought together so many HR functions into a single, user-friendly platform. It makes it easy for me to handle time off requests, check my vacation balance, see colleagues’ birthdays, and keep track of expenses, all from one place. The interface is clean, intuitive, and well-organized, which makes getting around the system straightforward. The implementation process was also smooth and fast, making the transition to using it feel effortless.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

I don't have any significant complaints. If I were to point out one area for improvement, it would be that locating specific settings or reports could be easier. Despite this, my overall experience has been outstanding.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I rely on Rippling to simplify HR tasks, making it easy to request and monitor time off, view my vacation balances, and submit requests through an organized and user-friendly dashboard.

  ### 50. Rippling does what they promise

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yaten P. | IT Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Rippling Spend?**

We’ve started using Rippling Spend more consistently across teams, and it’s made expense handling much smoother. The real-time visibility into transactions helps both managers and finance stay aligned without waiting for end-of-month reports. Receipt uploads and auto-matching have reduced manual follow-ups, and having spend policies enforced automatically has helped cut down on errors. The fact that it ties in well with the rest of Rippling also makes it easier to manage access and approvals as teams change.

**What do you dislike about Rippling Spend?**

Overall the experience has been solid, but there are a few areas that could be better. Reporting could be more flexible, especially when we want custom views by team or spend type. Some expenses still need manual recategorization, so smarter defaults would help. The mobile app works well, but handling multiple receipts at once can feel a bit slow. These aren’t major blockers, but improvements here would make the product even stronger.

**What problems is Rippling Spend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ripping has helped us streamlining our HR and payroll process as we are present in multiple countries and managing everything has become so easy with Ripping.
