Written by Wanna AI. Updated 17 Oct 2026. Checked on 17 Oct 2026, refreshed every 30 days. Wanna is our product, is in this list, and pays no bills. Open each link first.
Short answer. Three print a plan at 0 that lists bill pay: Brex, Melio and Ramp. The rest start at a monthly price or on request. We do not rank them and ran none.
How we chose
- The vendor's own page describes paying bills, capturing invoices or approving payments.
- We read each pricing page on 17 Oct 2026. Amounts are US dollars as printed, without the sign; a price not printed is marked so.
- Left out: Stampli, with no prices printed, and Airbase, whose pricing address redirected elsewhere.

What Wanna is and is not
Wanna is not an accounts payable tool. It drafts work that finds buyers; ads wait for your OK, while posts wait unless you choose Autonomous (Trust). Live, measured 17 Oct 2026, 18:17 UTC: 3 companies of people, 0 paying, MRR 0. Start at wannable.ai.
What this list does not replace
A bill pay tool moves the money you tell it to. It does not replace a bookkeeper or CPA for the books, tax and 1099 rules, or your own check of each payee and amount before approval. See the limits of letting AI act for a company, and how to choose.
