Switching from Dext to ExtractInvoice
Real complaints from recent reviews point to non-existent customer service, impossible cancellations, and pricing that starts at $235/month for just 10 clients. Here's how to switch in 5 minutes.
Why People Leave Dext
Real complaints from recent reviews:
What You'll Save
Dext Pricing
ExtractInvoice Pricing
For bookkeepers with 10 clients (~1,000 invoices/mo):
Dext charges per client regardless of invoice volume. We charge per invoice - process 1,500 invoices across 1 client or 50 clients, same price.
The Migration
5 minutes, seriously
What transfers:
Nothing. Invoice extraction tools don't store accounting data—your QuickBooks/Xero has everything already.
What changes:
Email forwarding (2 min): Update your forwarding address from your-name@dext.com to your-name@extractinvoice.com
Pick your export format (one-time): Choose your accounting software format and we'll remember it
Test invoice (1 min): Forward one invoice, verify extraction, export and import to your accounting software
That's it. No data export, no migration nightmare, no waiting.
Supported Accounting Software
We export directly to:
Set your preference once, every export comes out ready to import. No manual formatting or field mapping.
The Workflow (Better Than You Think)
During the week
- Snap invoices with your phone → forward to your@extractinvoice.com
- Or forward from your email as they arrive
- ExtractInvoice processes them in ~10 seconds
- Review/correct any extractions on mobile or desktop
Once a week (or daily, whatever)
- Select all invoices you want to import (or filter by date/client)
- Click export → get ONE file with everything
- Import to your accounting software
- Done
Why bookkeepers actually prefer this:
OAuth integration is coming for those who want real-time sync, but many bookkeepers tell us they prefer batching their workflow.
What's Different (Honestly)
Better
- 98-99% extraction accuracy (Dext claims 99.9% but reviews say otherwise)
- 10-second processing (vs "slow OCR" complaints)
- Actually responsive support (founder-run, email answered same day)
- Easy cancellation (no ghost support tickets)
- Per-invoice pricing - no per-client fees, no hidden line item extraction charges
- 75% cheaper for typical 10-client practice
- Multi-platform support (QuickBooks, Xero, or bring your own via CSV/Excel)
- Batch export (select 50 invoices → get 1 file, not 50 files)
Different
- Simpler interface (we focus on invoices/receipts, not 47 features)
- 14-day trial instead of forcing paid plans immediately
- Export/import workflow - Process invoices all week, export in one batch, import once. OAuth coming soon.
- No separate mobile app - Email forwarding works from your phone's camera (snap → forward → done), and our web interface is fully mobile-optimized
Not available yet
- Direct OAuth sync (batch export works great meanwhile)
- Bank statement extraction (focused on invoices first)
- Mileage tracking (focused on invoice pain first)
14-Day Trial Process
Sign up at extractinvoice.com
Set your accounting software preference (QuickBooks Desktop/Online, Xero, etc.)

If you like it, update your email forwarding permanently
Cancel Dext (may require carrier pigeon based on reviews)
The Honest Pitch
We're not Dext. We're a bootstrapped alternative that:
This isn't for everyone. If you absolutely need real-time OAuth sync right this second (we're adding it), stick with Dext for now. If you're paying $235-976/month and wondering why invoice extraction costs more than some of your clients pay you, try us.
