Yes. Receipt Bank rebranded to Dext in 2020 to reflect its expanded product suite beyond receipt capture. The core OCR extraction and accounting sync technology is the same, and existing Receipt Bank accounts migrated to Dext automatically. In December 2024, Dext was acquired by IRIS Software Group. The platform continues to operate under the Dext brand with the same integrations and features.
Hubdoc is included free with every Xero subscription, making it the default choice for Xero-only firms that want basic receipt capture and bill fetching at no extra cost. Dext offers broader accounting platform support (QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage, and 30+ others), more submission methods (WhatsApp, Dropbox, supplier auto-fetch), and practice management features like workflows and client health scores on the Advanced plan. Dext's Business plan starts at $25.21/month (annual), so the cost difference depends on whether you need features beyond what Hubdoc bundles with Xero.
Dext integrates with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage (multiple versions), FreeAgent, Exact Online, MYOB, and over 30 additional accounting platforms. It also connects to more than 11,500 banks and financial institutions for live transaction feeds. The Practice Essentials plan supports QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Custom ERP, while Pro and Premium integrations (NetSuite, Sage Intacct) are available through Commerce add-ons.
The Business plan starts at 250 documents per month with 5 users, adjustable via a slider on the pricing page to increase both limits. If you reach your monthly document limit, you can still upload documents to your account, but data extraction pauses until your next billing cycle or until you upgrade. Each plan also includes free credits for specialized extractions: 10 bank statement sheets, 5 documents with line item extraction, and 5 supplier statement extractions per month. Additional credits can be purchased.

Bulk upload is supported, and images are processed by the same OCR engine that handles emailed and uploaded documents.
Both plans include the full Data Capture suite (mobile app, multiple submission methods, bank/line item/supplier statement extraction) and Data Automation features (approvals, expenses and mileage, auto-categorisation, Boost, auto-publish). Advanced adds Practice Productivity tools: workflow management, teams and locations management, practice-level insights dashboards, and an advanced client list. Essentials starts at $20.80/client/month (annual) and Advanced at $22.30/client/month (annual), both with a 10 Business Client minimum.
