What most Tipalti reviews leave out

  • The $99/month entry price is Accounts Payable, not PO approval; procurement is a quoted add-on.
  • Transaction fees are not published and drive real cost.
  • Complex or multi-ERP setups may need paid professional services.
  • Procurement came from the Approve.com acquisition (April 2021)
  • No per-user fees, so approvers are free to add.
