What Dext is
Dext, formerly Receipt Bank and owned by IRIS Software Group since December 2024, calls itself an intelligent bookkeeping automation platform for small businesses and accounting and bookkeeping firms. You send receipts, invoices and statements by mobile app, email, WhatsApp or desktop; Dext extracts the data, applies supplier rules and publishes to your accounting software. It also fetches supplier invoices and connects to bank feeds at more than 11,500 banks.
It connects to more than 36 accounting and e-commerce platforms, including Xero, QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Sage, MYOB, FreeAgent, Twinfield and Zoho Books. Approval workflows run up to five stages with amount thresholds, and Dext can publish to Xero in the document’s own currency. Line-item extraction reads description, quantity, tax amount and total per line; Dext’s help centre notes that tax codes and tax rates are not extracted.
Dext pricing
Dext publishes one business plan that scales by users, priced in US dollars excluding tax (other currencies on its regional sites). Line items, bank statements and supplier statements beyond a small allowance are add-ons.

|---|---|---|
| Business, 5 users | $25.21/month billed annually ($302.50 a year), or $31.50 monthly | 250 documents a month; includes 5 documents with line items, 10 sheets of bank statements and 5 supplier statements. |
| Business, more users | e.g. 8 users: $39.33/month billed annually ($472 a year) | Each extra user adds 50 documents a month and a little more of each extraction allowance; up to 100 users. |
- Add-ons: line-item extraction from $20.50 a month (or $0.50 a document pay-as-you-go); supplier statement extraction the same; bank statement extraction from $13 a month (or $0.32 a document).
- Over the plan’s document limit, uploads still arrive but are not extracted until the next billing date or an upgrade. Annual plans need 30 days’ notice before renewal.

InvoiceParser Pro

Every comparison we publish is on the alternatives page.
Who should choose Dext instead
Choose Dext if
- Receipts and expenses captured on a phone (or by WhatsApp) are most of your volume.
- You want bank feeds, or publish to Sage, MYOB, FreeAgent or QuickBooks Desktop.
- You are an accounting firm managing many small clients on per-client partner pricing.
- You need header totals more than line items: 250 documents a month from $25.21 is a low price.
Choose InvoiceParser Pro if
- Your bills have many lines and you need every line, on every invoice, without an add-on.
- You want every invoice’s arithmetic checked, with the exact difference shown when it does not add up.
- You run freight: trip numbers on invoices and single lines, fleet numbers in the PO field, currencies on one load kept apart.
- You want nothing pushed to QuickBooks Online, Xero or Zoho Books until someone approves it.
Before moving from Dext
Test the handoff on your own invoices
If you are switching for included line items, invoice review or published monthly allowances, test those jobs first. Review extraction and accounting requirements on your own documents before choosing a plan.
1. Test the invoice mix
Use a digital PDF, a scan or a JPEG/PNG photo. Check the source, fields, line items and exact arithmetic mismatch in the free invoice-to-Excel tool.
2. Check the client books
Each workspace connects to one company per provider. Use per-client Excel/CSV templates for separate books, or separate workspaces and sign-ins. Direct pushes use the selected invoice expense account, a matching client default, or your workspace default.
3. Review an approved bill
Paid plans and the trial can push approved bills. QuickBooks supports mapped tax codes; Xero and Zoho Books pushes do not set them. Team/Scale add multi-step approvals; money edits withdraw approval.
How we measure our own accuracy
We publish InvoiceParser Pro’s own benchmark: 181 synthetic test documents (clean invoices, photos, scans, multi-currency, freight and handwritten invoices) run through live production on 3 October 2026. 174 of 181 documents (96.1%) had every key header field right, and 1555 of 1576 key header fields (98.7%) were right. All 5 invoices whose printed figures do not add up were flagged.
That is our test set, not your documents, and we do not set it against Dext’s or anyone else’s figures. The method, every miss and downloadable samples are on the accuracy page.

Dext alternatives and competitors: questions buyers ask
How much does Dext cost?
On its US pricing page (checked 9 October 2026), Dext’s business plan is $25.21 a month billed annually ($302.50 a year) or $31.50 billed monthly, excluding tax, for 250 documents a month and 5 users. Extra users add documents. Line-item and supplier statement extraction beyond 5 a month cost from $20.50 a month (or $0.50 a document), and bank statement extraction beyond 10 sheets from $13 a month. Accountants have separate per-client pricing.
What are the best Dext alternatives?
For bookkeeping capture: AutoEntry (by Sage), priced per credit, and Hubdoc, included with Xero business plans. For European invoice processing with expenses: Doxis (formerly Klippa). For AP teams, especially in freight and logistics, that need line items, arithmetic checks and approvals in one price: InvoiceParser Pro.
Who are Dext’s main competitors?
AutoEntry and Hubdoc compete most directly for bookkeepers and small businesses; Doxis (formerly Klippa) and Veryfi’s expense app overlap on receipts and expenses; and AP-focused tools such as InvoiceParser Pro compete for supplier invoice processing.
Is InvoiceParser Pro cheaper than Dext?
Not at the entry level. InvoiceParser Pro publishes its prices: Free for 25 invoices a month (1 user, no credit card); Starter $79 a month for 200 invoices and 3 users; Team $249 a month for 1,000 invoices and unlimited users; Scale $599 a month for 5,000 invoices, with API access. Billed annually they are $63, $199 and $479 a month. For more than 5,000 invoices a month, email us about Enterprise and we'll scope it with you. Dext starts lower, but line items beyond 5 documents a month are an add-on; on InvoiceParser Pro’s Starter plan they are included on all 200 invoices.
Can an accounting firm run many clients in InvoiceParser Pro, as in Dext?
Yes. Each client gets its own folder inside your workspace, with its own email-in address, and one team works across all of them. A workspace connects to one QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho Books company, so clients on separate books use the per-client CSV and Excel exports or a separate workspace. The difference is how it is priced: InvoiceParser Pro is one fixed monthly plan for the whole firm, not priced per client, while Dext prices accountants per client.
Does InvoiceParser Pro work with QuickBooks, Xero and Zoho Books like Dext?
Yes: direct OAuth push to QuickBooks Online, Xero and Zoho Books on paid plans, with nothing pushed until it is approved. QuickBooks Online bills can carry VAT on your own QuickBooks tax codes; the Xero and Zoho Books pushes do not set tax codes yet. There is no Sage, MYOB or QuickBooks Desktop connection: use the Excel or CSV export there. Dext connects to all of those.
How accurate is InvoiceParser Pro?
On IPP's own benchmark, 181 synthetic test documents run through live production on 3 October 2026, 96.1% of documents had every key header field right and 98.7% of key header fields were right. The method, every miss and sample documents are at invoiceparserpro.com/accuracy. It is our test set, not your documents, and we do not compare it with any other vendor's figures: run your own invoices through the trial.
