Hubdoc stores the document. Dext finishes the bookkeeping.
Dext is an intelligent bookkeeping automation platform. It reads the whole document at over 99% accuracy, collects invoices from your suppliers and sends clean data to the accounting software you already use — so the month-end you get is one you can sign off, not one you have to put right.
No credit card required.
WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE DEXT OVER HUBDOC
Capture gets the document in.
Dext gets the bookkeeping done.
Paperwork that turns up on its own
Snap it, email it, upload it — or let Invoice Fetch collect invoices straight from your supplier accounts. Utilities, subscriptions and the rest arrive in Dext before you think to go looking for them.
Data that arrives finished
Dext reads the whole document — supplier, totals, tax, payment method and every line item — at over 99% accuracy, built on over 2 billion accounting documents. What reaches your books is ready to use, not ready to fix.
Room you won't outgrow
AI Assist, supplier rules, bank matching, expense management and approvals sit in the same platform as capture. So what you choose today still fits when the business is twice the size.
AUTOMATED DOCUMENT COLLECTION
Paperwork arrives as it happens. So the books never trail the business.
The slow part of bookkeeping isn't processing documents, it's collecting them. Dext makes sending them easy enough that they flow in as they are created, and your accounts stay current.
Snap and go: photograph a receipt in the mobile app and the data is extracted before you have left the counter
Email-in address: auto-forward supplier invoices and they process themselves, invoice after invoice
Upload, scan or sync from cloud storage, whichever fits the way you already work
Secure storage in Dext, searchable in seconds, so you are audit-ready whenever you are asked
ACCURACY & DEPTH OF EXTRACTION
Right the first time. Not right after you've checked.
Dext reads the whole document, not just the header, so the numbers are correct before they reach your accounting software — whether you keep the books yourself or hand them to your accountant.
Over 99% accurate capture, built on over 2 billion accounting documents — crumpled receipts and messy handwriting included
Deeper field extraction: supplier, totals, tax amounts, payment method, PO numbers and every line item
Supplier statement reconciliation matches statements against invoices, so a missing invoice surfaces before month-end does
Duplicate and anomaly detection catches mistakes before they reach your books, or your tax return
INTEGRATIONS
Two-way with Xero. And 36+ integrations in all.
Dext and Xero exchange data in both directions, so the connection carries more than a document and a total. And with 36+ accounting integrations, Dext works with whatever you or your accountant already use.

DEXT

Hubdoc

THE REAL COST OF "FREE"
Free on the subscription. Paid for in evenings.
Hubdoc is included with Xero plans, and for a handful of simple documents a month that can be enough. The cost of a capture tool shows up somewhere other than the subscription line — in the gap between what it extracted and what your books actually need:
Corrections made by hand before the numbers can be trusted — totals, tax, suppliers and line items
Hunting through inboxes and supplier portals at every month-end
Checking extraction against the original before it reaches your accounts, or your tax return
Corrective work your accountant picks up, and bills back to you
Dext is built to hand those hours back, so they go into running the business instead.

"Dext is an easy return on investment. For the costs it has to run, the time it saves. Just the time it saves, pays for itself."

The questions people ask before they switch
Hubdoc captures documents and publishes them to your ledger. Dext is a bookkeeping automation platform: over 99% accurate extraction of supplier, totals, tax and every line item, Invoice Fetch to collect supplier invoices for you, and automation that carries on past capture into supplier rules, bank matching, expenses and approvals. Paperwork reaches the books ready to use.
Hubdoc is included with Xero plans, and for a handful of simple documents a month that can be enough. The subscription isn't the whole cost, though: checking extraction, filling in what the tool missed and chasing supplier invoices all take hours that never appear on a bill.
Dext's automation is designed to hand those hours back. Try it free for 14 days and judge it on your own month-end.
Very well, and in both directions. Tracking categories, purchase orders and your chart of accounts come into Dext; richer extracted data goes back, along with flags for invoices missing attachments and bank transactions that match documents in Dext. Beyond Xero, Dext connects to 36+ accounting platforms, so it fits whatever you use now or move to later.
Both capture receipts, invoices, bank statements and credit notes. Dext adds supplier statements, and pulls far more from each document: supplier, totals, tax amounts, payment method, purchase order numbers and every line item. Invoice Fetch also collects invoices directly from supplier portals, so recurring bills arrive without anyone having to ask for them.
Yes. 12,000+ accounting and bookkeeping firms run on Dext. Past capture you get practice dashboards, supplier rules, AutoPublish, Bank Match, Paperwork Match and Missing Paperwork reports, so bookkeeping is standardised and monitored across the whole client base rather than handled client by client. Explore Dext for practices, or book a demo.
Straightforward. The submission methods are the ones you already use — email-in, mobile app, web upload and cloud storage — so nobody has to learn a new habit. Connect your accounting software in minutes, lean on support and Dext U while you settle in, and start with a 14-day free trial, no card required.

What the platform does once the paperwork stops being the problem.
"I know there's Hubdocs. I'm aware of other tools but Dext works well. So, no, I haven't tried any other software, if I'm honest. I'm aware of others, but Dext works really well for us. Our accountants use it exclusively. And we've got absolutely no issues. It's worked really, really well."
