CEO/President ### "Easy Client Receipt Capture with Reliable QuickBooks Credit Sync" November 4, 2026 4.5 For our mid-tier clients, I use Dext to track expenses by client or project, gather spending information up front, and get receipts into QuickBooks quickly, reducing the questions we need to ask later in the month. Pros I find Dext a bit more advanced than the provider we used before, with a cleaner interface that makes it easier for my clients to upload things. The app makes it easy for them to take photos of physical receipts. I also like that Dext syncs credit card credits to QuickBooks, which was the specific problem we switched to solve. It’s easy to onboard both my team members and clients, and the learning curve was short. The setup was pretty straightforward. Dext also helps us get client expense information into QuickBooks quickly and efficiently, and reduces the number of questions we need to ask later in the month. Cons The one thing that doesn’t work as well for us in Dext is how specific the notation has to be. It requires a bit of training on the client’s part, and that can be a pain at times. On some other platforms, whatever is in the email body becomes part of the memo, but Dext requires specific notation. Review Source Sheree M. Finance Assistant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use, streamlines invoice processing" November 4, 2026 4.0 The benefits of the system outweigh the drawbacks, it's a valuable tool and I would recommend it. We are possibly not using it to its full potential as it has a lot more features than I first thought. Pros Great OCR functionality, it generally captures the key invoice information accurately which greatly reduces manual data entry. Very user friendly and straight forward Cons The way the system handles duplicates could be improved, and the flat fee for each entity could be reviewed Review Source Founder CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Brings business transactions in seamlessly from Amazon, Walmart, etc" September 1, 2026 5.0 Overall experience is great. I started with Greenback who was bought by Dext. Their support is also good. Pros I like that I can bring in all of my sales on platforms like Amazon, Walmart, etc into my quickbooks. Cons What I dont like is that I have to bring them in in batches by clicking manually by batch which for 500 can take a bit to load, its good that you can select up to 500 at a time - that is great. But the bad part is that after say waiting to upload a batch of 500 then again and importing them, and you go to load another 500 it loses connection and makes you log in again, so then you have to wait again for the batch to reload and download again. So it does take time. But it is really overall a great product that accomplishes what a person could never do by themself. Switched from [Dext Commerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/176834/Greenback/) Greenback was bought by Dext, so I continued with Dext Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reasons for choosing Dext I tried Quickbooks on their Beta and it was terrible! Review Source Bookkeeper Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Worth it, use Dext!" June 8, 2026 5.0 Dext has saved me many hours of manual input for invoices into accounting softwares. The price isn’t the worst either. Pros Dext helps me with all my daily bookkeeping needs. It integrates into the appropriate softwares I use perfectly Cons Honestly I don’t dislike anything about Dext. I use Dext prepare and the only thing it could build in is that it could assume categories better upon the first step of integration with the accounting softwares chart of accounts. Review Source Operational Services Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Receipt and Invoice Management" May 5, 2026 5.0 Pros Dext seamlessly integrates with financial tools such as Plooto and QuickBooks online. I love how simple it is to forward invoices to my Dext email. Cons Dext doesn’t get 100% of the invoice categorization correct, but it is quick and easy to edit the expense category before submitting. Review Source Operations Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "The Convenience of Reconciliation in hands" April 8, 2026 5.0 Since I started using Dext with Xero , my overall experience has been great , it makes things easier to be able to combine Text with other apps Pros The convenience of the integration with Xero , take a picture and it reconciled straight away with Xero , great when you are on the go Cons MMM , I guess the interface is not that user friendly , compared to other app it would need a bit of a refresh Review Source Bookkeeper Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great receipt automation software" April 6, 2026 5.0 Absolutely love Dext! Would definitely recommend it and we always try get new clients set up on Dext. Saves having to be given folders of receipts when they can take photos on the go or at home Pros So easy to use as a bookkeeper and also for the client. The app is clear as well and easy to upload any receipts/invoices. It's more sophisticated than Hubdoc and better than Xero expenses as you can clearly allocate costs to people in and expense claim, without them staying in one big list. The AI and rule setup for suppliers is very clever too Cons The only thing is its duplication spotting. Most of the time it's great. But if I automatically receive an invoice via email and upload it and then a staff member also uploads it as they have paid for it it doesn't make it clear who submitted the other one. So I've found a couple times that I have it down as a company expense but having to double check that it's been paid for by someone else. Then having to take it off and reupload it to add it back to someone's expenses Switched from [Hubdoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/165724/Hubdoc/) Needed something smarter and clearer. As well as the use of expense claims Review Source FPA Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great invoice capture tool" April 6, 2026 4.0 Pros Dext makes it quick and easy to capture, extract, and streamline purchase invoices and receipts, significantly reducing manual data entry. The automation is reliable, integrations with Xero are strong, and the mobile app works well for on‑the‑go users. Cons As there are a lot of settings available, you can't limit certain fields to be hidden for non-finance users, making it more difficult for them to use. Review Source Finance Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "You can never go wrong with Dext!" April 1, 2026 5.0 I think it's a really high quality app, I'd recommend it to people a lot as it's well-priced. Max Whitely is super helpful and approachable on any questions to do with it, it's clear he loves the product and is proud to represent it. Pros Dext is extremely accurate at reading receipts, which I've noticed isn't as good in other products. I've rarely noticed a mistake in it. Cons There's nothing I dislike about Dext, it's technologically great, easy to use and affordable. I've no issues with it. Review Source Audit and Accounts Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Forever and always... Dext" April 1, 2026 5.0 I have used Dext with my clients for years and will continue to do so. The automation and accuracy it provides my clients is invaluable to both them and me as their accountant. Pros The ability to onboard with my clients and automate their finance functions so the people could work on their business as opposed to in their businesses Cons Sometimes my clients would try to integrate Dext themselves and for what ever reason it would not work, however for accounts to implement this was done with ease. Review Source Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Non-Existent Customer Service" October 1, 2025 1.0 Pros I have had a terrible time getting in touch with Dext Customer Service. While the software served it's purpose for many years I no longer have use for it. They have made it impossible to cancel the service and have just charged my credit card again. Totally shameful. The chat keeps telling me someone will be in touch but no one is. I will no longer be recommending it to clients. Cons Customer Service was basically non-existent. They message you back letting you know someone will be in touch to help you. It has been well over a week and I have heard nothing. Review Source Head of ops Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Dext is the best!" March 31, 2026 5.0 I love dext and wouldn't use anything else for receipt processing, it saves time and its always accurate. Pros Dext is constantly evolving and getting better and it gets it right so you can trust it to do the leg work! Love the new prepayment feature! Cons Menu’s are a little complicated to remember where things are and the settings could be streamlined to save time! Alternatives considered [Hubdoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/165724/Hubdoc/) Reasons for choosing Dext It wasnt as accurate and its clunkier and doesnt have as many features Review Source ID Isabelle D. Apprentice Accountant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "DEXT Review as an Apprentice Accountant " April 1, 2026 5.0 As an Accountant, Dext is an extremely valuable and integral part of my daily tasks. The platform allows me to easily take photographs of invoices, receipts and import email documents. I specifically like the integrations with platforms such as Xero, which allows a smooth and streamlined bookkeeping process. Using Dext significantly reduces manual effort as it captures all of the key information needed to complete financial tasks. The multi-client dashboard is especially beneficial as it ensures that I have all my clients in one place and can effortlessly switch between them and publish their receipts and invoices through to the accounting software. Overall, Dext performs extremely well at what its designed to do, it takes away a lot of the repetitive, time-consuming parts of bookkeeping and helps us stay organized. A reliable tool for busy accounting workflows! Pros What I like most about Dext is how much time it saves on day-to-day financial admin, especially when it comes to capturing and organising receipts and invoices. I can easily take a photo and have the data extracted automatically making the whole process effortless. I particularly like the extracting lines function it offers when I have long receipts, this makes my tasks much more time efficient. Cons Sometimes when I use Dext, if the software is unable to find the supplier. Even when the supplier is on the invoice or receipt it sometimes codes the supplier to 'unknown' which can sometimes be time consuming to go back over and adjust this. Review Source Nathan H. Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Perfect to keep you organized and ensure you don’t miss expenses. Your CPA will love you. " March 6, 2026 5.0 Im ensured I don’t miss expenses for clients and also deductions in my QuickBooks account. I can take a picture of a receipt or forward it from an email. Pros I absolutely love Dext. I’m a solo entrepreneur that gets busy and it’s easy to get unorganized with receipts. This program allows me to not only upload receipts and have its vendor, cost and account extracted then published to my QuickBooks account. You can also add that it’s billable to a client in QuickBooks and holds the photos so you don’t have to keep paper receipts. Cons This program is solid. It learns from your previous expenses and automatically knows vendors and account categories. I couldn’t live without it. Review Source Accountant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Seamless, Practical and an Accountancy Practices Best Friend." February 5, 2026 5.0 Dext overall has been a pleasure to use. Everyday i will log in and publish those invoices that my clients have put in which makes working a breeze. Say a client is out for business drinks they just snap a picture of the receipt and dext does the rest in terms of where to account. It has saved me so much time over the years and with the use of amazon fetch integration etc it has also saved my clients time too. A win win all around. The app also shows security through 2 Factor Authentication which the importance in this day and age is next to none. Pros Dext allows me to integrate many of my clients with Xero and for them to upload invoices seamlessly. My clients love the easy to use concept of it and allows bookkeeping to be done efficiently and effectively. The value for money per client is amazing for the features that are offered too. Cons Sometimes whilst doing workflows in Dext it is hard to see older workflows done for the same client i.e VAT returns this could be due to the update on workflows in dext however i may not be using the function to its potential. Review Source Emma B. Financial Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great automation for bills" February 4, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Dext is positive. I have used Dext for many years and seen many software updates and improvements to keep up with technology and AI. Pros Dext offers excellent AI capabilities in recognising all aspects of documents uploaded. It is constantly improving this service. I automate all my incoming bills to go straight into the Dext inbox, using my unique email provided by Dext, this significantly speeds up processing and keeps my inbox clean and tidy. Dext offers great value for money and different levels of subscriptions depending on how many users you require. It is simple and easy to use so does not require a steep learning curve to get started. You can set suppliers rules and export straight to your accounting or approval software using automated population of various fields. Cons The thing I like least about Dext is not a lot. I think all the features are good, they cover many different aspects. If I could think of one criticism is that you can not upload Excel spreadsheets. Review Source HM Hannah M. Client Success Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Perfect Partner for Xero!" April 1, 2026 5.0 Overall, Dext is a highly effective bookkeeping solution that aligns well with cloud-based accounting practices. It's ease of setup, flexible document submission options, and strong educational resources make it a valuable tool for both clients and internal teams, ultimately driving efficiency and improving the overall client experience. Pros As a Client Success Manager within an accountancy practice, implementing Dext has been a genuinely positive experience, both for our internal team and for our clients. One of the standout features of Dext is how straightforward the initial setup process is. From onboarding new clients to integrating with accounting software such as Xero, the platform is intuitive and well structured. Clients are invited directly into the system and guided through a simple set up process, allowing them to get started with minimal friction. This ease of setup significantly reduces onboarding time and helps clients adopt the software quickly, which is crucial from a client success perspective. Cons The mobile app is great for quick use and as one of the multiple submission methods however there is limited functionality when compared to desktop which can occasionally frustrate clients. Review Source Chief Compliance Officer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "We couldn't be without Dext for our clients!" February 5, 2026 5.0 We couldn't be without Dext for our clients! Even with the introduction of other similar apps on the market, Dext is still out go-to for the foundation of our app stacks. Pros We love how user friendly it is, all of our clients have Dext subscriptions and it makes both our lives and theirs easier when completing their bookkeeping. Product updates, changes and new features are communicated to us by our account manager making it easy to implement efficiencies into our workflow. Cons We want to hold and review our internal finances to the same standards as we do our clients. The main practice being excluded from reporting means we can't create month-end bookkeeping dashboards as easily to track our internal KPIs. Review Source Home P. Operations Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Amazing Receipt and Expense Management" July 29, 2025 5.0 Great I would recommend to anyone needing to organize and keep track of invoices to be paid or sent out as well as keeping receipts Pros Receipt management and tracking along with invoicing capabilities. It has great security and is a great value. Cons I don't like that sometimes the emailing in feature does not work and sometimes it cannot read the text on the receipt Review Source Accounting Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dext Review from Accounting Manager" June 16, 2025 4.0 Onboarding was easy, and so are the other features. Dext allows helps users get a lot of the paperwork together for those that don't have time to do it. Pros The configuration, the ability to connect to QB Desktop and the bill fetching. Dext also makes it easy to upload pictures from the mobile app. Cons The dashboard is a little busy and I don't like the matching feature. That is already done in the accounting software. Switched from [Hubdoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/165724/Hubdoc/) Hubdoc stopped fetching statements and bills Review Source Office Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Making Supplier Processing Easier" March 19, 2025 4.0 Overall this system makes uploading and processing our supplier invoices much quicker and easier. Pros How intuitive it is - it learns your 'way' Cons Setting up process was a little confusing Review Source MO Marta O. CRM Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Not as straightforward for first few uses" March 5, 2025 4.0 Pros I liked the app and the documentation pages they have in support of new users where they show step by step how to use it Cons Sometimes despite the support documentation the use of the app and the process itself is not very straightforward Review Source CF Cody F. Finance Director Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Highly useful management platform for multiple companies" August 17, 2023 5.0 Big process improvement! When I started, we had multiple individual accounts set up instead of a single account housing each client entity, so once we took that consolidation step, everything fell into place & the workflow started to churn without incident. Few to no issues with receiving documents from outside the org, the OCR is fairly capable, and the platform learns quickly & suggests supplier rules to set for item types with regular throughput. Pros It works exactly as advertised & is user-friendly enough that setup is simple & intuitive. There is a wide array of features on this platform, but everything is labeled & explained well, so while there is introductory training & ongoing self-support material, you often don't need it once you get going because the platform largely guides you toward whatever it is you want to do (which makes training new staff fairly easy). Cons The integrations can occasionally be a bit wonky--less so the accounting software integrations than vendors & bank accounts. I've had a few issues with bank accounts coming regularly decoupled, or with vendor accounts not connecting despite the credentials being validated. The lists for each integration option are also limited, so if you're using a smaller community bank or an industry-specific vendor, you may just be out of luck. Review Source CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dext Prepare Makes a Good App for Small Businesses" July 11, 2023 4.0 Overall, Dext Prepare is a great app to add to your tech stack when it comes to organizing your sales and expense receipts. Pros Dext Prepare is easy to setup and use whether you're a small business or an accountant looking to help your clients keep up with all those paper receipts and emails for sales and costs. They also have expense report features Cons Dext Prepare is somewhat on the expensive side for the subscription prices they charge. Switched from [Qbo](https://www.capterra.com/p/220110/qbo/) Review Source Finance Assistant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Review For Dext Prepare" August 14, 2024 5.0 Overall, Dext Prepare has been an invaluable tool for optimizing our financial workflows and enhancing productivity. Pros The autopublishing feature, combined with the streamlined supplier rules, has made our dexting process significantly easier and more efficient. The automation reduces manual entry errors and saves us valuable time, allowaing us to focus on more strategic tasks. Cons When amounts are extracted and published in Xero, the tax details sometimes VAT- re not captured correctly.
