Dext is the dependable workhorse for getting source data out of paper and into the ledger — and one of the few tools here with a deep, real review base.

What Dext actually is

Formerly Receipt Bank, Dext uses OCR and AI to extract header and line-item data from receipts, invoices and bank statements, then pushes it into QuickBooks, Xero and Sage. Supplier rules let you auto-code recurring vendors, and capture happens via mobile app, email-in or auto-fetch from suppliers.

Pricing, in plain terms

For firms, Dext is per client per month: a Practice Essentials tier around $17.70 and Advanced around $19.20, with a 10-client minimum; a standalone Business plan starts near $25.21 per month. There’s a 14-day free trial. The per-client model is predictable but climbs as you add clients.

Where it shines

This is the most battle-tested product in the roundup, with a genuine review base (G2 4.5 across ~262 reviews; Capterra 4.3 across 174). Reviewers credit it with eliminating most manual data entry and praise how supplier rules cut recurring work once configured.

What to watch

The two consistent complaints are slow customer support (including friction around cancellation) and occasional misreads — suppliers tagged “unknown” or line-item errors that need manual fixes. The headline 99.9% accuracy is a vendor figure; real-world accuracy dips on crumpled, faded or handwritten documents.

My verdict

If your bottleneck is paperwork-to-ledger across many clients, Dext is a safe, proven pick. Budget for the per-client cost and don’t expect fast support.
