Questions about Dext
How much does Dext cost in Australia?
Dext's Business plan is A$443.30 a year including GST, for 250 documents a month and 5 users. Line items are included on 5 documents a month, then cost from A$376.20 a year; bank statements cost from A$224.40 a year, both including GST. Dext offers a 14-day free trial.
Is Dext free with Xero?
No. Dext connects to Xero free during its 14-day trial, and after that you need a paid Dext plan. Dext charges nothing extra for the Xero connection itself.
Dext vs Hubdoc: which suits Xero?
Dext, if you want the lines on a bill in Xero. Hubdoc reads the supplier, date and total, and its own help centre says it doesn't extract line items; Dext reads them on 5 documents a month, then as an add-on from A$376.20 a year including GST. Our Hubdoc alternative page covers Hubdoc in full.
Is Dext the same as Receipt Bank?
Yes. Receipt Bank became Dext in 2021, and Dext says it kept all of Receipt Bank's features. Dext's own site still calls it the new Dext, formerly Receipt Bank.
What are the best Dext alternatives in Australia?
eggz, if your bills arrive by email: it reads them in Gmail or Missive with the line items included, and publishes quotes and invoices to Xero too. Hubdoc, AutoEntry, Receiptor AI, DOKKA and Gennai also connect to Xero, and we compare each with eggz on its own page.
The short answer
Dext covers the receipt half of the job and covers it well. It will not raise a quote or build an invoice, so the other half stays manual in Xero. eggz runs the whole cycle from the inbox: a supplier bill is read the moment it lands, a quote goes out under your own template, and the accepted quote becomes the invoice in one click. Our extraction is more accurate, and nothing has to be forwarded to an address anyone has to remember.
What Dext is good at
- Receipt capture built over fifteen years, with a native mobile app.
- Supplier rules that code future documents automatically once you have processed a supplier once.
- A Xero App Store rating in the high fours across more than a thousand reviews, which is earned.
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.
- More accurate reading of the document, so there is less to correct before it posts.
Stay with Dext if
- Paper receipts in high volume are most of what you process each month.
