Dext Pricing for Accountants and Business Plans With Line Item Costs

Dext pricing at a glance

Dext sells two kinds of plan. Accounting and bookkeeping practices pay per client, with a 10-client minimum. Businesses that do their own books pay per plan, priced by document volume and users. Both are quoted as an annual subscription billed monthly, and both can be paid month to month for about 15% more. Line items, supplier statements and bank statements are extra meters on top of either plan, each with a small free allowance.

Dext used to be called Receipt Bank and renamed itself in 2021, so older quotes for Receipt Bank pricing refer to the same company. Its practice product is still referred to as Dext Prepare in many firms, and the practice rates below are what Dext Prepare costs in the US today.

Dext pricing for accountants and bookkeepers

Dext does not print a practice price on its partner page. The calculator there asks for a client count and then fetches the price from Dext's own price feed. These are the US figures that feed returned in October 2026 for Essentials and Advanced, billed annually and paid monthly, before tax. The per-client column is the monthly total divided by the client count.

Three things stand out. Advanced is exactly $1.50 per client more than Essentials at every count, so the upgrade decision is about features, not scale. Each extra client costs less than the last: going from 10 to 20 clients adds $14.60 a client, from 100 to 200 adds $10.20, and from 300 to 500 adds $8.60. And the 15% month-to-month premium holds all the way up, so 100 clients on Essentials cost $1,474.29 a month without the annual commitment.

These figures are why quotes for Dext practice pricing disagree across the web. The partner page shows whatever client count its slider defaults to, and $17.70 per client, the number most often repeated, is the 20-client rate, not a starting price.

Dext pricing for business

A business that keeps its own books buys a direct plan. The entry tier on the US page is $302.50 a year, shown as $25.21 a month, or $31.50 paid month to month, for 250 documents a month and 5 users. It includes capture by app, email and upload, extraction, document storage and publishing to the accounting software, plus a free allowance on the three extraction meters. Higher document and user tiers are priced on the same slider.

The document limit matters more than it looks. Dext's own FAQ says that once you reach the monthly limit you can still upload, but nothing is extracted until the next bill date or an upgrade. A business that runs over at month end either upgrades mid-cycle or waits for its own bills to be read. Annual plans need 30 days' notice before the renewal date to cancel; monthly plans can be cancelled any time before renewal.

How much Dext charges for line items and bank statements

Line item extraction, supplier statement extraction and bank statement extraction each run on their own meter. Every plan includes a free monthly allowance on each. Past it you choose pay as you go, document by document, or a monthly bundle at a lower rate. Bundles stack on top of the free allowance and unused documents do not carry over. These are the US bundle prices from Dext's extraction pricing page.

Supplier statement extraction uses the same price ladder as line items. Bundles move in steps of 50 above 50 documents, so a 230-document month is billed as a 250 bundle. If a client mostly needs a year of statements converted rather than bills, it can be cheaper to convert the bank statements to Excel once than to carry a monthly bundle that expires.

What a 200-bill month costs on Dext with line items

Take one US business that receives 200 one-page supplier bills a month, every one with lines that need coding to jobs or inventory. On Dext it fits the entry business plan for documents, then draws on the line item meter for everything past the free allowance of 5.

The comparison is not like for like, and it is worth saying why. Dext publishes the bill into Xero or QuickBooks Online, stores the image, handles receipts from a phone and gives a team one inbox. InvoiceExtractor reads the bill and every line, then hands you an Excel, CSV or JSON file, a Xero bill import or a QuickBooks file to import yourself. If publishing and receipts are the job, Dext's price buys that. If the lines are the job, you are paying a monthly meter for them.

Is Dext worth the price for a small practice?

Dext is worth it for a practice once it passes about 50 clients, because the per-client rate falls to $14.04 and below while bulk publishing to Xero and QuickBooks saves real hours across every client. Under 10 clients it is hard to justify: the minimum is $207.99 a month on Essentials, which works out to $41.60 a client for a five-client book.

Many practices split the work. They keep header-only clients, the ones whose bills post to a single expense account, on whatever capture tool is cheapest, often Hubdoc inside Xero. Then they run the line-heavy clients' bills through an extractor priced by page. Our AutoEntry vs Dext pricing comparison and the Dext alternative page work through that split in detail.

Dext against the other capture tools in US dollars

Full rate cards for the others are on our Hubdoc pricing, AutoEntry pricing and Datamolino pricing pages. Paying the bills once they are captured is a separate system again; a team that wants approvals and payment runs on top of capture should look at dedicated accounts payable automation rather than stretching a capture tool.

How InvoiceExtractor prices the same work

InvoiceExtractor charges by page with no client count and no line item meter. Starter is $49 a month, or $24 billed yearly, for 2,500 Base AI pages. Plus is $149 a month, or $74 billed yearly, for 10,000. Every page returns the header and every line as Excel, CSV or JSON, a Xero bill import, a QuickBooks Online file or an IIF file to import invoices into QuickBooks Desktop. Developers can call the invoice data extraction API instead.

What it does not do is publish into your ledger, chase clients for receipts or manage a practice's client list. If those are what you need, Dext's per-client price is fair for what it delivers. If you are paying Dext's line item meter every month for a handful of line-heavy clients, upload one of their bills at the top of this page and compare the table with what Dext returns.
