Receipt Bank Alternative Built for Modern Accounting Teams

Receipt Bank is now called Dext. If you are reviewing your options, PayablesAgent extracts receipts and invoices with line items included in every plan and flat pricing that is not per user.

Receipt Bank was one of the early receipt scanning tools for accountants and bookkeepers, and it now runs under the Dext name. PayablesAgent takes a different approach. You upload receipts and invoices as PDFs, scans or phone photos, and it pulls the vendor, invoice number, dates, tax, totals and line items. You export to Excel XLSX, CSV or QuickBooks Online. Check the extraction on your own invoice before you buy.

Why Former Receipt Bank Users Compare Alternatives

What to look at when Receipt Bank became Dext

Receipt Bank built a following among accounting professionals by letting bookkeepers photograph receipts and send the data on to their accounting software. The product is now called Dext. If you used Receipt Bank and are reviewing your setup, the questions worth asking are the same for any tool: what does it cost at your volume, which fields does it extract, and where can you send the data.

Start with price. Dext's US business plan is listed at $25.21 a month billed annually for 250 documents and 5 users. Line item extraction is an add-on from $20.50 a month or $0.50 per document. PayablesAgent Starter is $49 a month, or half that billed yearly, with 2,500 Base pages and 500 Pro pages, and line items are part of the normal extraction.

Next, the fields. PayablesAgent returns the vendor, invoice number, dates, tax, totals and line items from receipts, bills and invoices. You review them on screen before export. Base mode handles clean digital PDFs, and Pro mode is for scans, phone photos and complex layouts.

Finally, the output. Every PayablesAgent plan exports Excel XLSX and CSV. Plus adds QuickBooks Online export and custom templates, and Pro adds the API for JSON. Dext has its own workflow features, so compare those with how your practice works today, and test both tools on the same batch of your own documents.

Comparing on Your Own Documents

Receipt Bank is now Dext, and Dext has its own workflow around capture and review. PayablesAgent is narrower. It extracts the vendor, invoice number, dates, tax, totals and line items and hands you a file or a QuickBooks Online export.

The fair way to choose is to take a month of real receipts and invoices, run them through both, and compare the line items and the total cost at your volume. Try it on your own receipt on this page to start.
