Dext

Dext, formerly Receipt Bank, is a pre-accounting tool. It collects receipts, supplier invoices and statements through upload, a dedicated email address, a mobile scanning app, or connections to suppliers and banks. It then extracts fields such as date, supplier, tax and totals, and pushes the categorised transactions into the client's ledger. Supplier rules set default categories and tax codes. Vault keeps the original documents for at least ten years, and expense reports can go through approval workflows. Dext says it connects to more than 36 accounting platforms, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage and Zoho, as well as e-commerce sources such as Shopify, Etsy and eBay. Pricing is split into two tracks. Businesses pay a core plan sized by monthly document volume. The default is 250 documents and 5 users for about 25 USD a month, covering up to 5 entities. Accounting practices pay per client per month on Essentials or Advanced plans, with a minimum of 10 clients. Line item, bank statement and supplier statement extraction, AI Assist, Commerce Lite and extra storage are paid add-ons or credits, so total cost rises with heavier use. Dext suits bookkeepers and accountants handling high document volumes for many clients, and small businesses that already use a ledger. Its main limitation is that it is not a full accounting system: it has no general ledger, invoicing or financial statements, so it always needs a separate accounting package. Reviewers also report slow OCR at times and mixed customer support.
