“Before Motion.io, we would spend over four hours per client tracking down onboarding information. Now, that entire process takes just 15 minutes—freeing up our team to focus on delivering value instead of chasing clients.”
OnRamp customers are switching to Motion.io — here’s why
Clunky task management
Users frequently mention challenges with OnRamp’s backend for managing onboarding projects, noting that the internal workspace is difficult to navigate. Team members can struggle to find tasks, files, and updates without additional training.
Account required for clients
OnRamp requires every client to create a full login account before accessing their portal. Because authentication depends on traditional passwords or 6-digit codes, clients encounter friction every time they return to complete tasks or view project updates.
Reporting is powerful, but complex
Reviewers say that while OnRamp’s reporting capabilities are robust, they come with a steep learning curve. Teams find it difficult to get a clear, consolidated view of all onboarding projects in one place, reducing visibility and slowing decision-making.
Pricing is a barrier to entry
OnRamp publicly states that pricing begins at $15,000/year, with increasing costs for additional internal and client accounts. For many mid-sized, high-growth teams, this pricing model is cost-prohibitive.

Onboard smarter and scale faster with Motion.io
Easy, automated task management
Motion.io eliminates onboarding busywork. Trigger next steps, assign task owners, reuse templates, and send automatic reminders — all while giving your team and clients clear visibility into what’s done, what’s next, and what’s overdue.
Frictionless client experience
Clients access their portal instantly through secure magic links — no logins or passwords required. Every portal is fully white-labeled to your brand, making it effortless for clients to submit forms, upload files, sign contracts, and complete tasks without friction.
Scale client capacity, not headcount
Motion.io centralizes client activity and internal workflows so you can onboard more clients without expanding your team. Clients complete tasks and track progress in a branded portal, while your team communicates and collaborates behind the scenes.
One place for onboarding projects
Motion.io brings tasks, communication, files, and client progress into a single unified platform — no more juggling email threads, spreadsheets, or multiple tools. Your team gets a clear, real-time view of every onboarding project at a glance.
4 areas where Motion.io dominates OnRamp
Create a scalable onboarding process in less than an hour
Describe your current onboarding process, and Motion.io’s AI instantly generates a repeatable onboarding playbook — complete with tasks and follow-ups — in minutes. Whether you're switching from spreadsheets or another tool, you can launch a scalable workflow in under an hour.
Setup typically requires manual support from the OnRamp team, which slows implementation, delays launch timelines, and limits your ability to iterate quickly. Users report that it can take up to a month to get fully set up on OnRamp.
Accelerate time to value and reduce churn risk
Motion.io’s branded, loginless portals automate the collection of forms, files, and contracts so you can move clients from onboarding to fully implemented faster — helping them reach value sooner and reducing churn risk.
Clients must create an account before engaging with onboarding tasks. Because clients must set up and maintain a login, teams report slower engagement and added friction early in the onboarding process — delaying activation and increasing churn risk.
Deliver a frictionless client experience at every stage
After clients are activated, Motion.io portals give them a single place to get the assistance they need. Add live chat, embed request forms, and centralize support so clients can submit help requests or purchase additional services — all without creating an account.
Users report that customization options for OnRamp’s client portals are limited. While portals work well for onboarding tasks, ongoing client needs often require significant time investment and direct assistance from the OnRamp team to customize.
Simple, streamlined communication for your clients and team
All client communication — messages, file comments, and requests — lives in a single unified inbox tied to the right project. Nothing gets lost, your team moves faster, and you can support more clients without adding staff.
Users report difficulty finding tasks, files, and client updates in OnRamp’s backend. The complexity increases training requirements and slows internal processes, making it harder to scale onboarding volume without adding more team members.
"Motion.io has helped us automate our onboarding process, simplify our deal-closing process, and keep our client projects more organized. My team also loves Motion.io, as it allows them to do more in fewer hours by eliminating client follow-ups and tedious project management tasks."
