Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seamless, Practical and an Accountancy Practices Best Friend." January 30, 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.

Financial Controller Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great automation for bills" January 26, 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 TJ Talisa J. Chief Compliance Officer Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We couldn't be without Dext for our clients!" January 30, 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 CS Chloe S. Bookkeeper Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worth it, use Dext!" June 7, 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 JA Jasmine A. Finance Director Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DEXT review" October 15, 2025 5.0 Pros DEXT is really easy to use and user friendly, it links in with Xero perfectly to create a very reasonably priced tech stack for small businesses. Cons There is little I don't like about DEXT to be honest! It does exactly what we need for a company of our size. Review Source HN Hallye N. Operations Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Receipt and Expense Management" July 28, 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 TB Tas B. Finance Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You can never go wrong with Dext!" March 31, 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 MN Mbali N. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dext Bliss" March 27, 2025 5.0 It has helped streamline work and audits. Pros Easy to use and accurate extractions, app always functional Cons Its just the high cost of it especially in RSA due to the conversion rate. Switched from [Hubdoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/165724/Hubdoc/) Hubdoc isn’t user friendly compared to dext Review Source SS Susie S. Accounting Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dext Review from Accounting Manager" June 12, 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 JF James F. Co-founder Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform, however not a must if you have a good accounting software." January 15, 2025 3.0 Pros Overall easy to use software, with snap receipt feature that is slightly better than other software (including user allocation, categories syntonization etc) Cons A bit redundant since many accounting software have snap receipt features Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Dext Cheaper overall. Better snap receipt features Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Dext had better algorithm with better user allocation for somewhat better pricing Review Source JP Joy P. Office Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Making Supplier Processing Easier" March 14, 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 MR Maurizio R. Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Time saver app for busy owners" March 12, 2025 5.0 Great, definitely a time saver especially with my restaurant schedule where I need to cover the kitchen and manage. Pros As I constantly need to send invoices of purchases to my accountant after I buy groceries for my restaurant, I find Dext super practical for its instant feature to send them immediately, it makes me save so much time with a single picture! Cons The only thing is that sometimes it might not recognize well the images when I take a picture (the OCR) so you may need to correct the information manually after uploading. Review Source EA Emily A. Office Administrator Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly Recommend " April 4, 2025 5.0 I am very happy with using Dext, it has made entering/tracking receipts much more efficient. Pros Easy to use & simple. It does a lot of the work for you. Cons No complaints, Dext has been a great tool. Review Source TH Tom H. Research Manager Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simplified a previously arduous process " May 29, 2025 3.0 Positive - made expense claiming a lot easier and you can easily view a summary to check against your payslip and bank statement to make sure you are paid Pros The capability to upload any sort of receipt / order confirmation and it find the details for you to submit an expense claim Cons I found it difficult to submit a petrol claim with the manual entry element. It isn’t always clear whether an upload has been submitted ok. Review Source WD Wendy D. Finance Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dext does the Job" October 17, 2024 5.0 I have been using Dext for years and it is a great product Pros The accuracy and speed of the uploads, the conversion of bank statements from .pdf to .csv is very helpful with cloud based accounting software. Cons Nothing I do not like about the software, it has so many features that are useful. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Cco Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Does exactly what it needs to" September 18, 2024 5.0 Pros So simple and automatic. Makes submitting expenses painless Cons I’m not an admin so can’t test those features. But for regular user it’s great Review Source KS Kiran S.

Finance Assistant Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review For Dext Prepare" July 31, 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. Review Source DA Daniel A. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You need to use Dext" August 25, 2024 5.0 Dext makes scanning receipts 10 times quicker and even reads the info manually in super fast time. Pros It has changed the game when it comes to reconciling receipts. Cons I'm honestly unsure that I have come across something I don't like. Review Source MS Muhammad S. Director Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dext is how receipt softwares should work" July 20, 2024 5.0 Overall we are happy. The app works really well Pros This app works great. Very easy to use for the person taking photos of receipts and the person recording the receipts. Overall we are very happy. Only thing that could be better is the price Cons Price is higher than what we want to spend Review Source FB Faruk B. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamlining Accounting Processes: A Review of High-Cost Software for Improved Client and Accountant" May 30, 2023 5.0 Our overall experience has gone well with DEXT, the only downside it the price hike. Pros The process is the strongest aspect of Dext. The process is as followed, if DEXT is unable to retrieve all the data it marks it for review. Dext also has features like auto publishing, supplier rules and bank feed as well e-invoicing. With auto publishing you can have documents/invoices automatically published to Xero and ready for reconciliation. Supplier rules also help with have the invoices automatically allocated to the correct supplier. Dext can also connect directly to your supplier they are bringing on a lot of support which can be beneficial to a lot of practices to streamline and increased their performance. Have bank fetch can also help with company tax returns and not having to contact your client to get bank statements all the time as you will have access to this in Dext. Dext have 3 different products: Prepare Commerce and precision. We are currently using DEXT prepare. Cons The pricing is a big factor. Also, for the price DEXT should offer more, currently they have split their product into 3 categories, DEXT precision features should be a part of their prepare features. Recently they also increased their pricing significantly. Their only advantage is that there is no software at its calibre. I would say another factor is ensuring your client use Dext as some from the older generations can struggle. Alternatives considered [Hubdoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/165724/Hubdoc/) Reason for choosing Dext The only advantage of Dextis that there is no software at its calibre. However HubDoc gets the job done and is included within Xero's subscription. So for companies starting out I would recommend that they use HubDoc to save on costs. Although it doesn't have the fancy features of DEXT you can complete basic tasks. You can complete things like uploading your receipts and having HubDoc automatically allocate to the right accounts and also have HubDoc push the invoices to Xero. Review Source CF Cody F. Finance Director Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly useful management platform for multiple companies" August 13, 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 LG Letlet G. Sales and Marketing Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Smart Way to Manage Your Accounting: Dext Prepare Review" March 1, 2023 4.0 As one of the sales and marketing staff. I used to manually enter data, manage bank statements, receipts, and invoices, and transfer data to my accounting firm before Dext Prepare. However, I am now able to automate and streamline the entire pre-accounting procedure with Dext Prepare, allowing me more time for higher-value tasks and business development.Eliminating mistakes and oversights made by hand is one of the most significant issues that Dext Prepare has solved for me. The software's optical character recognition (OCR) AI technology, which is 99 percent accurate, ensures that all of my data is current and accurate. While processing data, I am also able to abide by the Data Protection Regulation (RGPD), giving me peace of mind that my financial information is safe.Dext Prepare has provided me with an exceptional overall experience. I've been able to save money, time, and effort while keeping things simple for my accountant thanks to the software's ease of use and effectiveness. Pros Company's finances has been completely transformed by Dext Prepare. I don't have to spend countless hours manually entering data to keep track of my finances because of its powerful automation and real-time monitoring features. Because the software's text recognition algorithm is so precise, it was simple for me to extract all of the essential information from my bank statements, invoices, and receipts.Dext Prepare's ability to integrate with my existing accounting ecosystem, which enables me to transfer data with a few easy clicks, is yet another great feature. The software's user interface is also very easy to understand and use, making it accessible to anyone, even to people who don't know much about technology.In general, managing finances with Dext Prepare has saved me a significant amount of time and effort. It is essential for any proprietor of a business who wishes to streamline their accounting procedures and concentrate on expanding their enterprise. Anyone looking for a pre-accounting solution that is both effective and user-friendly should look no further than Dext Prepare. Cons Dext Prepare is a great way to automate and streamline the pre-accounting process, but i say it lacks some features that other accounting software solutions have. Nevertheless, it is essential to keep in mind that Dext Prepare was developed solely for the purpose of pre-accounting and is not intended to take the place of a full-featured accounting system.The cost of Dext Prepare, which may be prohibitive for individuals or small businesses depending on their requirements and financial resources, is another potential drawback. However, the time-saving advantages of the software may eventually offset the cost for some businesses.In conclusion, despite the fact that Dext Prepare may not have all of the features of other accounting software solutions and may be pricey for some users, the pre-accounting automation and time savings it provides are still significant. As a whole, it's a wise investment for businesses that want to make their accounting procedures more efficient.

August 15, 2018 4.0 Pros I have been using Receipt Bank alongside Xero for at least 5 years now and I have tried the alternatives but for me RB is the best! It is easy, accurate and intelligent. Its super simple app alongside the emailing in, drag & drop, dropbox link etc makes adding receipts and bills easy so you are more likely to capture more items. The OCR works well and learns (it is however worth keeping an aye on things as sometimes it can go awry!). The supplier rules work well, it has a great user interface and is simple to navigate. I know that they do line by line splits on some supplier invoices and I would like to see that get more accessible. Overall Receipt Bank saves so much time and I think that they are still developing more and more features. I have had clients that hate it and there are a few nuances that you should pay attention to at the start but once you have it works brilliantly!! I have tried Datamolino, Autoentry and Xero direct for the day to day receipts & invoices but have always come back to Receipt Bank. Customer support has always been good, friendly and relatively speedy. I use Receipt Bank with all my clients - we insist upon it! Cons I would probably say the thing that comes up over again is the price (I argue that rather pay them that than me for data entry!) but maybe if there was a lower starting price? I would love to see a Bill to client button and the option to break an invoice into lines as a standard option. Review Source Nigel E. Managing Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buy it" April 12, 2023 5.0 Dext takes away a lot of pain in terms of administration and time, it also keeps my invoices & receipts digitally and gives me an overall view of my outgoings for any set period, excellent product Pros In short as a small business owner Dext saves me the most precious commodity it can, my time. It allows myself and my team to take a simple picture of a receipt or uplad an invoice and the data is extracted and pushed across to my Xero accounting system. Works very well indeed including multiple currencies Cons Like any OCR extraction it is not perfect but what I would like to see is better notifications of failures for duplication etc, I would like unsuccessful uploads to be easier to identify and resolve Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
