Pricing is quote-based.
Dext’s base price is not published in the pricing information we reviewed, so there is no reliable starting figure to compare before switching. Essentials and Advanced are priced per client per month, and both require at least 10 clients. Dext lists a 14-day free trial; annual billing is shown as 13% off, although subscriptions are billed monthly. Add-ons cost extra, including AI Assist at $7 per client. Ask for a quote covering your client count and add-ons before comparing totals.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you

Paid add-ons
AI Assist is $7 per client. Data health & insights and Commerce Lite are each $7.50 per client per month.
Credit top-ups
Credits can be topped up, but the top-up price is not published on the vendor's site.
Annual billing terms
Annual billing is listed as 13% off, while the subscription is billed monthly. Confirm how the discount applies to your quote.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Businesses with 10+ clients | Essentials | It is listed for businesses and self-employed clients, with document capture, extraction and 36+ accounting integrations. |
| Scaling accounting practices | Advanced | It is aimed at scaling practices and lists team and location management, practice workflows and insights. |
| Teams needing capture and sync | Essentials | Its listed features cover document capture and extraction; confirm the unpublished base rate and minimum before committing. |
04Is Dext worth the money?
Dext may be worth considering if your bookkeeping process involves collecting receipts and invoices, extracting their details and syncing data to accounting software. Its expense tools and document storage may also fit teams that need those workflows. The problem is price comparison: base rates are unpublished, both plans have a 10-client minimum, and add-ons raise the bill. Treat the trial as a chance to check fit, then compare a full quote against your current stack.
Dext pricing FAQ
What is a reasonable price for an accountant?
There is no accountant-fee benchmark in the pricing information available here. Dext’s plans are priced per client per month, but base rates are not published and both require at least 10 clients. Ask for a quote with your client count and required add-ons before judging whether the cost is reasonable.
What does the Dext app do?
Dext captures receipts, invoices and other business documents through mobile, email, WhatsApp or desktop. It extracts details, categorises transactions and syncs data to accounting software. Dext also lists expense management, approvals, supplier payments and document storage among its capabilities.
What is the average cost of accounting software?
The available pricing information does not provide an industry average, so we can’t give a sourced figure. Dext’s own base plan rates are also unpublished. Compare quotes on the same basis, including client count, add-ons and any accounting software you already pay for.
What is the difference between Dext and QuickBooks?
The information available here describes Dext as a tool for capturing and categorising documents, automating bookkeeping and syncing data to accounting software. It does not establish QuickBooks’ features or pricing, so we can’t make a full comparison. Check whether each product covers the same workflows in your setup.
