Looking for a Dext alternative?
Dext is the best receipt capture tool on the market. If receipt capture is your whole problem, stay where you are. This page is for people whose problem is bigger than that.
The short answer
Dext has been building this since 2010 and it shows. Its mobile capture, OCR accuracy and supplier coding rules are better than ours and will stay better for a while. What Dext does not do is the other half of the cycle: it will not raise a quote or build an invoice, so you are still doing that by hand in Xero. eggz covers the full loop from the inbox, and starts at $90 a year against roughly $38 a month.
What Dext is good at
- Receipt capture built over fifteen years, with a reliable native mobile app.
- Supplier rules that code future documents automatically once you have processed a supplier once.
- 4.8 stars from over 1,000 reviews on the Xero App Store, which is earned.
- Full expense management, which eggz only touches lightly.
Where eggz is a different answer
- Native Gmail and Missive connections, not a forwarding address you have to remember to use.
- Quotes and invoices raised in eggz and published to Xero, with one click turning an accepted quote into the invoice.
- Built in Australia for Australian GST and the quote to job to invoice to paid sequence.
- $90 a year to start, against roughly $38 a month.
