Frequently asked questions
How much does Dext cost and what is included?
Business pricing starts at $25.21 per month ($302.50 billed annually, excluding tax) for 250 documents per month and 5 users, with free credits for bank statement, line-item and supplier statement extraction. Plans scale with document volume and users, and businesses wanting more than 5 entities are quoted bespoke pricing. Accounting and bookkeeping practices pay per client per month with a 10-client minimum. A 14-day free trial requires no credit card, and no mandatory implementation fee is published.
How long does implementation take?
Dext is self-serve cloud software. You start a 14-day trial, connect your accounting software and bank feeds, and documents begin flowing immediately - Dext states it connects to 36+ accounting platforms and 11,500+ banks with nothing to migrate or relearn. The vendor provides onboarding guidance, help centre articles and support by chat or email. There is no stated mandatory implementation fee, and most teams publish their first documents within days.
What is Dext's security and compliance posture?
Dext states it is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant, with TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, SSO plus 2FA for production access, role-based access control, annual third-party penetration tests and data hosted on AWS across multiple availability zones. Original documents are retained for at least ten years. Dext does not claim SOC 2, HIPAA or FedRAMP for its own service on the pages reviewed.
How accurate is Dext's AI extraction, and can we control the model?
Dext states 99.9% accuracy for capturing and categorising receipts, invoices and expenses, and 99%+ accuracy for data published to accounting software. 'Dext AI Assist' is described as learning from each team decision so routine categorisation is automated going forward. Dext does not publish which model providers it uses, whether customers can bring their own model key, or offer documented per-action AI audit logging.
Who is Dext not a good fit for?
Dext is document capture, expense and bookkeeping automation rather than a full ERP, procurement suite or general ledger. Organisations that need FedRAMP, HIPAA or SOC 2 assurance, or that do not run a supported cloud accounting platform to sync into, should look at other options. Large enterprises wanting deep custom development against a documented public API are also unlikely to be served by the published product set.
