    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.

    Practical uses

    • CaptureScan receipts and invoices with OCR on the base plan and push them directly into the connected accounting software.
    • ExtractAdd the Bank Statement or Line Item Extraction add-on when the base plan's receipt capture alone is not enough detail.

    Pros and cons. What Dext does well, and what to expect.

    Pros

    • OCR capture pushes receipts and invoices directly into connected accounting software.
    • 14-day trial available before the base subscription is required.

    Cons

    • No free plan; the base subscription includes only 250 documents/month for 5 users.
    • Line item, supplier statement and bank statement extraction are unbundled, separately priced add-ons.

    When it makes sense. Keep Dext, or challenge it?

    Keep if

    • You want receipt and invoice capture pushed straight into your accounting software and 250 documents/month covers your volume.
    Dext becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost ($25.21) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    • You regularly need line-item, supplier-statement or bank-statement extraction, which pushes the real monthly cost well past the base price.
    Dext becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do

    Our verdict. What to know about Dext.

    Why this verdict

    Average

    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.
