Dext prices its US business plan at $25.21 a month when billed annually ($302.50 a year), and that covers 250 documents a month and five users. Line item extraction, supplier statements and bank statements are paid add-ons, from $20.50, $20.50 and $13.00 a month respectively, or $0.50, $0.50 and $0.32 per document on pay-as-you-go. Accounting firms pay per client per month on Practice Essentials or Practice Advanced, with a 10-client minimum.
Those figures come from Dext's US pricing pages, checked on September 18, 2026. Dext says the annual plan is up to 20% cheaper than paying month to month, so a monthly subscription costs more than the headline number. Below is what each line means once real invoices start flowing through it, and where the total ends up for a typical US small business or bookkeeping practice.
Dext pricing for businesses at a glance
| Item | Price (USD) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Base plan | $25.21 per month, billed annually ($302.50 a year) | 250 documents a month, 5 users |
| Included credits | Included | 10 bank statement sheets, 5 line item documents, 5 supplier statements |
| Line Item Extraction | From $20.50 per month, or $0.50 per document | Every row of an invoice, not just header totals |
| Supplier Statement Extraction | From $20.50 per month, or $0.50 per document | Reads vendor statements for reconciliation |
| Bank Statement Extraction | From $13.00 per month, or $0.32 per document | Turns bank statement PDFs into transactions |
| AI Assist | $10.50 per month (promotional rate listed until October 31) | AI features on top of capture |
| Commerce Lite | From $7.50 per month | Pulls receipts from online sales and purchase platforms |
| Vault | Free to 100MB, then from $4 per month | Document storage |
The base plan is a sensible price for what it is: five logins and a document inbox that reads receipts and invoice headers. The add-on column is where the cost of an accounts payable workflow actually lives, because most invoice work needs line items.
How much does Dext cost per month?
For a US business, Dext costs $25.21 a month on annual billing before add-ons, and more if you pay monthly. Add line item extraction and the realistic floor is about $46 a month ($25.21 plus the $20.50 add-on) on annual terms. Anything above 250 documents a month moves you to a larger plan, which Dext quotes inside its plan builder rather than as a fixed list price.
Does Dext charge extra for line items?
Yes. The business plan includes five line item documents as free credits. After that, line item extraction is an add-on, either as a subscription from $20.50 a month or pay-as-you-go at $0.50 per document. This matters more than any other line on the price list for AP work, because coding an invoice to the right expense accounts usually needs each line, not just the total.
Here is the difference in practice. A supplier invoice from a building materials vendor might have 14 lines split across three job codes. Without line items you get vendor, date, tax and total, and someone still opens the PDF to split it. With them, the split is already in the data. If that describes most of your invoices, budget the add-on from day one rather than finding out in month two. Our invoice line item extraction page shows what full line-level output looks like.
What happens when you go over 250 documents?
Dext's pricing page is explicit: once you reach the monthly document limit you can still upload, but the documents are not extracted until your next billing date or until you upgrade. For a business with a seasonal spike, like a contractor in spring or a retailer before the holidays, that means either upgrading mid-month or letting a backlog build right when the books matter most.
How much does Dext cost for accountants and bookkeepers?
Dext sells two practice plans, Practice Essentials and Practice Advanced, both priced per client per month with a minimum of 10 clients. They are annual subscriptions billed monthly, with 13% off for paying annually, and a 14-day trial with no credit card. Advanced adds teams and locations, custom workflows, advanced automation and practice-level insights on top of the core capture features.
Per-client prices on the partner page vary by region and are generated inside Dext's plan builder, so the honest answer is to run your client count through it. The add-ons are listed separately: Data Health and Insights at $7.50 per client per month, Commerce Lite at $7.50 per client per month, and AI Assist at $7 per client. A practice with 25 clients that adds Data Health is paying $187.50 a month for that add-on alone, before the base plan.
The 10-client minimum is the part that catches small practices. A bookkeeper with four clients still pays for ten. Firms at that size are usually better served by pricing that follows document volume, which is how invoice OCR for CPAs is structured here.
What a real US team pays for Dext
Three examples, using only published figures on annual billing.
| Scenario | Dext monthly cost | How it adds up |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-operator, 80 receipts a month, no line items | $25.21 | Base plan covers it |
| Small business, 200 invoices a month, line items on all of them | About $125 on pay-as-you-go, or $45.71 if the add-on subscription tier covers the volume | $25.21 base plus 200 x $0.50, or base plus the $20.50 add-on |
| Same business, plus 6 bank statement sheets a month | Add $1.92 to $13.00 | 6 x $0.32 pay-as-you-go, or the $13.00 subscription |
Dext lists the add-on subscriptions as "from" prices without publishing how many documents each tier covers, so check the add-on volume against your invoice count before you assume the lower figure. The pay-as-you-go number is the one you can calculate with certainty.
Is Dext worth the money?
For receipt-heavy small businesses and practices already living in Xero or QuickBooks, often yes. Five users for about $25 a month is good value, the mobile receipt capture is mature, and bookkeepers know the product. It gets expensive when the work is supplier invoices that need line items, when volume crosses 250 documents, or when a small practice has to pay the 10-client minimum.
The way to decide is the same one we suggest for any capture tool: divide the full monthly bill, add-ons included, by the number of documents you actually process. Under 25 cents a document, Dext is earning its place. Over 50 cents, you are paying add-on prices for work that other tools include in the base plan.
Where Dext is the better choice
Being fair about this saves you a migration you did not need.
- Several people submitting receipts. Five users on the base plan is generous. PayablesAgent's Starter plan is a single seat, and Plus covers up to three.
- Receipts photographed on the go. Dext's mobile capture is a big part of why field teams and owner-operators like it.
- Practice management. Practice Advanced adds client lists, workflows and insights across a book of clients. We do not offer practice management features.
- Supplier statement reconciliation. Dext has a dedicated add-on for reading vendor statements.
Cheaper options when the numbers stop working
If the add-ons are what push your Dext bill up, compare against a tool where line items are part of standard extraction. PayablesAgent's Starter plan is $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly, and includes 2,500 Base AI pages and 500 Pro AI pages with header fields and line items, exported to Excel, CSV or JSON. Plus is $149 a month, or $74 billed yearly, with 10,000 Base pages, custom extraction templates, QuickBooks Online export and up to three seats.
One unit difference to account for: Dext counts documents, while PayablesAgent counts pages, so a three-page invoice uses three pages of quota. Even so, 2,500 pages is ten times the 250-document base allowance, which leaves room for a lot of multi-page invoices. Our full Dext alternative comparison covers features side by side, and Dext vs PayablesAgent goes through the workflow differences.
If bank statements are the reason you added Dext's statement extraction, you may not need an invoice tool for that at all. A dedicated PDF bank statement to Excel converter handles statements on their own, and keeps your capture tool focused on supplier documents. Firms looking at the Xero side of this should also read our Hubdoc alternative page, since Hubdoc is the other name that comes up in every Dext pricing conversation.
The practical test
Take ten of last month's supplier invoices, including the longest and the worst scan, and upload them with the tool at the top of this page. Check vendor, invoice number, dates, tax, total and every line against the paper. Then price the same month in Dext with the add-ons you would need. Comparing output and total cost on your own documents takes about fifteen minutes and gives you the answer that no pricing table can.
