Dext Pricing, Dext Cost and Dext Alternatives for Teams That Need the Books to Reconcile
Dext is a document capture tool. You photograph or forward receipts, invoices and bank statements, it extracts the data, and the result goes to your accounting software. Its US business pricing page, read on October 31, 2026, shows one base plan at $25.21 a month, or $302.50 billed annually, with 250 documents a month and 5 users, plus a slider for a bigger allowance. Add-ons are priced separately: line item extraction from $20.50 a month or $0.50 a document, supplier statement extraction from $20.50 or $0.50, bank statement extraction from $13.00 or $0.32 a document, and an AI assistant at $10.50 a month until January 31, 2027. A 14 day trial needs no card, and prices exclude tax. What Dext does well is get paper and PDFs into structured data without retyping. What it does not describe is the step after that: checking that the deposit in the bank, the processor payout and the ledger entry all agree. Reconciler is that step. It connects QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite read-only, reads the bank statement and processor activity next to the ledger, pairs every deposit with the entries behind it, and writes a plain English reason under each match. It posts nothing, so it sits beside Dext rather than replacing it. This page sets Dext published prices next to Reconciler and says which job each tool is for.

Honest fit
Which one you should actually pick
Pick Dext when
Dext is the better fit, and often the cheaper one, when the pain is paper: a stack of supplier invoices, receipts from a team in the field, or PDF statements that someone retypes every month. At about $25 a month for 250 documents it solves the capture problem well, and a bookkeeper who handles many small clients will find its practice pricing built for that. If the documents are the bottleneck, buy Dext.
Pick Reconciler when
Reconciler is the better fit when the documents are already in and the books still will not close. The open lines are the ones capture cannot see: a payout that bundles several days of sales net of fees, a card batch covering a dozen invoices, a refund that landed in the next period. Reconciler pairs each deposit with the entries behind it, explains every match, and leaves a short list of true exceptions for a person. Most teams that outgrow spreadsheets at month end run both, one upstream and one downstream.
Questions people ask
Dext alternatives, answered
How much does Dext cost?
Dext business pricing, read on its US pricing page on October 31, 2026, is $25.21 a month or $302.50 billed annually for 250 documents a month and 5 users, with prices excluding tax. Add-ons are extra: line item and supplier statement extraction from $20.50 a month each, bank statement extraction from $13.00, and an AI assistant at $10.50 a month until January 31, 2027. Accounting practices are priced per client through a separate partner page.
Is Dext free?
No. Dext offers a 14 day free trial with no card, not a free plan. After the trial the base plan is paid. Some review sites still print older starting prices, so confirm the current figure on the Dext pricing page before you plan around it.
What counts as a document in Dext?
The pricing page counts the documents you upload each month, such as a receipt or invoice, against the plan allowance of 250 on the base plan. Uploads past the limit are not extracted until the next bill date or a plan upgrade, so size the slider for your busiest month rather than the average one.
Does Dext reconcile bank statements?
Not as a stated feature. Dext bank statement extraction turns PDF statements into transactions, which gets the rows into your system. Matching each deposit to the sales, fees and refunds behind it, and proving the ledger agrees with the bank, is the work Reconciler does after capture.
What are the best Dext alternatives?
It depends on the job. For receipt and invoice capture, the alternatives are other document extraction tools and the capture built into your accounting software. For proving that the bank, the processors and the ledger agree, Reconciler, A2X, Link My Books and Synder cover different parts, and our pages compare each one honestly.
Can I use Dext and reconciliation software together?
Yes, and that is the normal shape. Dext works upstream, turning documents into entries. Reconciliation software works downstream, proving the finished ledger agrees with the bank and your payment processors. Reconciler connects read-only, so it never changes what Dext posts.
