Detailed Review
Dext's terms name Dext Software Limited, registered in England and Wales under number 7361080, as the local entity for the UK and Europe excluding France. The product is aimed at small businesses and accounting firms.
It is a capture and bookkeeping tool: invoices and receipts come in by app, email or upload, and the extracted data goes to your accounting software.
Capture and checks
Beyond basic capture, Dext offers line item extraction, bank statement extraction and supplier statement extraction, which checks that every invoice and credit note on a supplier statement lines up and flags gaps and duplicates.
Plans
The pricing page shows document-based plans and add-ons, with prices that change by region. The page read here showed US dollars for the default region, so check the euro or pound price on your own region page.
Payments
Dext lists a Payments feature to pay suppliers where invoices are filed, but the pricing page marks it as coming soon.
Limitations to Consider
Dext is a bookkeeping capture tool, so three-way PO matching, approval chains for large teams and supplier payment runs are not listed on the pages checked (payments are marked coming soon). Pricing depends on the region selector and add-ons. The contracting entity is UK based, outside the EU, and the AWS region is not stated on the pages checked. For full AP workflows see Rillion.
