    About

    In practice. What you can do with Dext.

    Dext captures receipts and invoices with OCR, manages expenses and stores documents, then pushes them into connected accounting software for bookkeeping prep. More advanced extraction, line items, supplier statements, bank statements, is sold as separate add-ons rather than included.

    There's no free plan: the base subscription starts at $25.21/month for 5 users and 250 documents, with custom pricing for higher volumes or 5+ entities. It fits a solo operator or small team preparing their own bookkeeping, or a small accounting practice, more than a business needing extraction add-ons bundled in from the start.

    Our verdict. What to know about Dext.

    How the score breaks down

    Added value

    Automates receipt and invoice capture into the books, but the 250-document monthly cap on the base plan and unbundled extraction add-ons raise the real cost for active use.

    Simplicity

    Receipt capture with OCR and push to accounting software works as a standard workflow without specialist setup.

    Fit for purpose

    Delivers OCR capture, expense management and document storage as promised, with direct accounting software integration.

    Performance

    Covers standard receipt/invoice capture well, but line items, supplier statements and bank statements all require separate paid add-ons rather than being built in.

    Reversibility

    Neutral score: export format and data portability out of Dext are not covered by the collected sources.
