ExtractInvoice vs Dext
Per-invoice pricing vs per-client pricing. One costs 75% less for a typical 10-client practice.
Dext is a full-featured platform with bank feeds, mileage tracking, and 11,500 integrations. ExtractInvoice does one thing well—invoice extraction—at a fraction of the cost. If you're paying $235+/month just to process invoices, we're worth a look.

What Users Say About Dext
“They have made it impossible to cancel the service and have just charged my credit card again.”
“Customer Service was basically non-existent. They message you back letting you know someone will be in touch to help you. It has been well over a week and I have heard nothing.”
“I have been trying to cancel my unused subscription for two weeks now. I cannot get anyone to contact me. I am having over $350 a month essentially stolen from me.”
“Overall this system makes uploading and processing our supplier invoices much quicker and easier.”
“Dext is so sly in their terms and conditions. They auto-renew contracts for another 12 months if you forget to cancel. It's a trap.”
