Dext Business costs $25.21 per month billed annually ($302.50 up front) for 5 users and 250 documents, or about $31.50 month to month. Practice plans for accounting firms are priced per client per month with a 10 client minimum. Bank statement extraction is a separate metered add-on: 10 sheets are included, then it costs from $13.00 per month or $0.32 per document. There is a 14 day free trial and no free tier.
Dext meters several things at once, which is why the headline price rarely matches the invoice.
Dext shows the Practice plan structure and the 10 client minimum but not the dollar figure per client. You have to start a trial or book a demo to get it, so every number you find elsewhere is a third party estimate.
There is no single user Business plan. The floor is 5 users and 250 documents, and the only way to raise the document allowance is to add users, each of which adds 50 documents.
Statement extraction is not part of the document allowance. The Business plan includes 10 sheets a month and everything after that is an add-on from $13.00 a month or $0.32 a document.
Bookkeeping volume is seasonal. A plan sized for a January catch-up sits idle in June, and the unused allowance does not carry forward.
Dext sells in six currencies. Plenty of review pages quote a converted figure rather than the US price, so two sources can disagree while both being technically right.
A Practice plan bills for 10 clients whether or not you have 10 ready to onboard, which is a lot of commitment if you only need one workflow.
Four questions worth answering before you pick a tier, in the order that changes the number most.
Because allowances scale with users, your headcount sets both the price and the ceiling. Work out the seats you truly need before looking at document counts.
Add up the bank statement pages you process in a normal month, then again in your busiest month. Anything past 10 sheets lands in add-on territory.
Receipts, supplier invoices, bill approval and client chasing are what Dext is built for. If you will use them, the price is doing more work than it looks.
Annual billing is roughly 20 percent cheaper on Business and about 13 percent on Practice, but it commits you. Model the full year at your real volume.
Fifteen minutes of arithmetic that usually settles the decision.
Pull last month's actual volume: documents, statement sheets and seats. Use a normal month and your worst month, not an average.
Total the Dext base plan plus the add-ons your volume triggers, then price the same volume as a converter plan allowance. Compare annual figures.
Run your messiest scanned statement through both during the 14 day window. Check row count, closing balance and sign convention before committing.

Dext costs $25.21 per user bundle per month on the Business plan when you pay annually, which works out to $302.50 billed up front for five users and 250 documents a month. Paying monthly instead runs about $31.50. Practice plans for accounting firms are priced per client per month with a ten client minimum.
The figures below come from Dext's own US pricing pages and Help Centre, checked on 21 August 2026. Dext sells in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD and ZAR, so a price you find on a review site may be a converted number rather than the US one.
| Plan | Price | Billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business (annual) | $25.21 per month | $302.50 billed annually | 5 users, 250 documents per month |
| Business (monthly) | about $31.50 per month | Month to month | Same 5 users and 250 documents |
| Practice Essentials | Per client, per month | Annual subscription billed monthly | 10 client minimum, core capture and automation |
| Practice Advanced | Per client, per month | Annual subscription billed monthly | Adds teams, custom workflows, practice insights |
| Free plan | None | n/a | 14 day trial only, plus 100MB of free Vault storage |
Dext does not publish the per client dollar figure for Practice Essentials or Practice Advanced on its pricing page. It shows the plan structure and asks you to start a trial or book a demo for the number. Comparison sites widely quote $17.70 and $19.20 per client per month, but those are third party figures, not Dext's published US price, so treat them as a starting point for the sales conversation rather than a quote.
This is the part that catches people out. Dext is a bookkeeping automation platform built mainly around receipts, bills and supplier invoices. Bank statement extraction is metered separately from your document allowance, and the Business plan includes only ten sheets a month.
| Add-on | Price | Included in Business plan |
|---|---|---|
| Bank Statement Extraction | From $13.00 per month, or $0.32 per document | 10 sheets per month |
| Line Item Extraction | From $20.50 per month, or $0.50 per document | 5 documents per month |
| Supplier Statement Extraction | From $20.50 per month, or $0.50 per document | 5 statements per month |
| Dext AI Assist | $10.50 per month promotional rate | Not included |
| Commerce Lite | From $7.50 per month | Not included |
| Vault storage | Free to 100MB, then from $4.00 per month | 100MB |
Ten sheets is roughly one or two monthly business statements. A bookkeeper doing a catch-up year for a single client will pass that in the first afternoon, and from there every additional sheet is billed at the add-on rate. On the Practice side the add-ons are quoted per client per month, with data health and insights and Commerce Lite each listed at $7.50 per client per month and AI Assist at $7 per client.
Dext Business has no single user option. The smallest unit is five users and 250 documents. According to the Dext Help Centre, each extra user you add raises the allowance by 50 documents, 5 sheets of bank statement extraction, 5 line item extraction documents and 1 supplier statement. You cannot buy more documents on their own; the allowances move together with seats, and everything resets monthly with no rollover.
That structure suits a firm that wants more people in the tool. It suits a one person practice with a large document pile much less well, because the only way to raise the document ceiling is to pay for seats nobody is going to log into.
Dext for accountants is priced per client per month with a ten client minimum, on an annual subscription billed monthly. There are two tiers, Practice Essentials and Practice Advanced, and Dext offers about a 13 percent discount for committing annually. The published page requires a demo or trial to reveal the per client rate.
The practical read: your floor is ten clients whether or not you have ten clients ready to onboard, and the cost per client falls as the firm grows. For a practice already standardized on Dext for receipts and bills, that is reasonable. For a practice that mainly needs statement PDFs turned into spreadsheets, the ten client minimum is a lot of commitment for one task.
Yes. Dext offers a 14 day free trial with access to the core features, and it does not ask for a credit card up front. There is no permanently free tier. The only ongoing free element is Vault storage, which is free up to 100MB before storage add-on pricing starts at $4.00 per month.
Yes, through its Bank Statement Extraction feature, but it is a metered add-on rather than a core part of the document allowance. The Business plan includes ten sheets per month, and beyond that Dext charges from $13.00 per month or $0.32 per document. Bank feeds are separate again and connect live accounts rather than reading a PDF.
It depends entirely on how much of the platform you will use. Dext earns its price when a firm runs receipt capture, supplier invoices, bill approval and client chasing through one system and wants that data flowing into Xero, QuickBooks or Sage automatically. Bought for statement conversion alone, the per seat and per client model is expensive for the job.
Where Dext clearly wins: breadth. It handles receipts, invoices, supplier statements, expense reports, bank feeds and commerce data, with a mobile capture app and a client chasing workflow that a converter does not attempt. If those are live problems in your practice, comparing it against a converter on price alone misses the point.
These are different products, so the comparison is only fair for the narrow job of turning statement PDFs into structured rows. On that job the metering is what separates them.
| Dext | BankXLSX | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Bookkeeping automation platform | Bank statement converter |
| Entry price | $25.21 per month annually, 5 users | $24 per month annually, single seat |
| Statement pages included | 10 sheets per month | 2,500 Base AI pages plus 500 Pro AI pages per month on Starter |
| Statement extraction beyond that | Add-on from $13.00 per month or $0.32 per document | Included in the plan allowance |
| Minimum commitment | 5 users, or 10 clients on Practice | None, monthly or annual |
| Free option | 14 day trial, no free tier | 15 free pages, no credit card |
| Receipts, bills, supplier invoices | Yes, this is the core product | No |
| Bank feeds to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage | Yes | No, it exports files you import |
Read the last two rows carefully before treating the price rows as decisive. If you need receipt capture and supplier invoice automation, BankXLSX does not replace Dext and is not trying to. If your recurring problem is a stack of statement PDFs that has to become clean rows with the running balance intact, you are paying Dext for a platform to do a converter's job.
Two firms on identical Dext plans can pay very different amounts, and the difference is almost never the sticker price. Seats drive the document allowance, so headcount sets your floor. Statement volume drives the add-on. Client count sets the Practice minimum. Work out the annual number for your real volume rather than the plan name, then compare.
A worked example. A three person bookkeeping practice handling 40 statement sheets a month on Business pays the $25.21 base plus the bank statement add-on, and the add-on scales with the sheets rather than the seats. Run the same 40 sheets through a converter priced by page allowance and the statement line item disappears into the plan. Neither answer is universally right; it depends on whether the rest of Dext is doing work for you.
Take the messiest statement you own, the scanned one with the awkward column layout, and run it through whatever you are evaluating during the trial. Check three things: the row count matches the PDF, the closing balance foots, and debits and credits carry the right sign. Accuracy decides the real cost, because a converter that drops rows costs you an hour of cleanup, and at a bookkeeper's billing rate that hour is worth more than the monthly difference between any two of these plans.
You can run half that test right now. The converter at the top of this page is free to try on a real statement with no credit card. Once the rows are in a spreadsheet you can categorize the transactions, reconcile against your books, or send the data straight into QuickBooks with the bank statement to QBO converter. If receipts are the bigger pile, turning receipt photos into expense rows is a separate job worth solving separately.
Dext Business costs $25.21 per month billed annually, which is $302.50 up front, covering 5 users and 250 documents a month. Month to month billing is about $31.50. Practice plans for accounting firms are priced per client per month with a 10 client minimum.
The Business plan works out to $25.21 a month on annual billing or roughly $31.50 paying monthly, and that covers five users. Add-ons sit on top: bank statement extraction from $13.00 a month, line item extraction from $20.50, and AI Assist at $10.50.
Yes, Dext offers a 14 day free trial with access to the core features and no credit card required up front. It is a trial rather than a free tier, so access ends when the 14 days do unless you pick a plan.
No. Dext has no permanently free plan. The only ongoing free element is Vault storage, which is free up to 100MB before additional storage starts at $4.00 a month. Everything else runs on the 14 day trial or a paid subscription.
Dext for accountants uses Practice Essentials and Practice Advanced, both priced per client per month with a 10 client minimum on an annual subscription billed monthly. Dext does not publish the per client figure and asks firms to book a demo or start a trial for it.
Yes, but as a metered add-on rather than part of the document allowance. The Business plan includes 10 sheets of bank statement extraction a month, and beyond that Dext charges from $13.00 a month or $0.32 per document.
It is worth it when a firm uses the whole platform: receipt capture, supplier invoices, bill approval and bank feeds into Xero, QuickBooks or Sage. Bought purely to convert statement PDFs, the per seat and per client model costs more than the job needs.
Dext Prepare is the former name of the core Dext product that captures receipts, bills and invoices and pushes the data into accounting software. Dext dropped the Prepare label, so searches for Dext Prepare pricing now land on the Business and Practice plans described here.
