Does a much better job than QBO receipt capture and does not restrict the source email for forwarded emailed receipts, making it much more usable and efficient. > > **Cons**: The refusal to allow us to use American formatted dates is a constant and significant irritant. It would be so simple to correct this that it is extremely annoying that they won't do it. Receipt matching to existing QBO transactions is inconsistent and only looks back 3 months so it is not ideal for clean up projects. Pricing structure isn't very flexible. > > Overall this has been a good product for my accounting practice. I use it personally for my own firm and for many of my monthly bookkeeping clients as a method to capture receipts in the moment. ----- ### "Dext - A great solution to invoice capture" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *11 April 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use for the basics, but has a lot more functionallity if you spend the time to dig deeper. > > **Cons**: The duplicate item checker \& extraction of docs isnt always accurate > > Love the product, is my reccomended product to use in conjunction with other accouting software. ----- ### "Great platform, however not a must if you have a good accounting software." — 3.0/5 > **James** | *15 January 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **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 ----- ### "Seamless, Practical and an Accountancy Practices Best Friend." — 5.0/5 > **Charlie** | *30 January 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Streamlining Accounting Processes: A Review of High-Cost Software for Improved Client and Accountant" — 5.0/5 > **Faruk** | *30 May 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **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. > > Our overall experience has gone well with DEXT, the only downside it the price hike. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/199699/receipt-bank?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/199699/receipt-bank) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
