Dext excels at one thing: capturing and reading documents (receipts, supplier invoices) at volume, then pushing the data into an accounting tool. We embedded expense-receipt OCR directly into CassKai (Tesseract.js + GPT-4o AI), with accounting, invoicing, e-invoicing and cash management behind it — to avoid a capture tool on one side and the accounting on the other.
Dext offers may change. Non-public pricing or edition-specific features are flagged as such; always verify the official quote or documentation before deciding.
Dext (formerly Receipt Bank, renamed in 2020) is a highly regarded specialised capture and pre-accounting tool, particularly among Anglo-Saxon chartered-accounting firms and bookkeepers. Its core business: capturing documents (receipt photo, email forwarding, drag-and-drop), reading them via OCR / AI (supplier, amount, tax, date), then publishing the extracted data into an accounting tool (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage...). Dext also handles supplier rules, automatic matching and a multi-client dashboard for firms. On this specific niche, it is one of the best products on the market, with a reputedly very high extraction accuracy.
Key positioning point: Dext is not an accounting suite. It is a capture / pre-accounting building block that sits upstream of an accounting tool. You do not keep a general ledger, produce a balance sheet, or file VAT in Dext: you feed the tool that does the accounting. Dext is therefore almost always complementary, not a frontal replacement for an accounting tool.
What this implies in 2026:
CassKai, published by Noutche Conseil, embeds capture inside the platform: expense-receipt OCR uses Tesseract.js in the browser for text extraction, complemented by a GPT-4o AI layer for categorisation, anomaly detection and entry pre-filling. Behind it, you have full accounting (4 standards: PCG, SYSCOHADA, IFRS, SCF), customer invoicing, France e-invoicing (PPF / PA) and UEMOA, cash management, payroll (15 countries) and CRM. The idea is not to claim parity with Dext's multi-client capture throughput in a practice, but to cover an SME's needs without having to plug a separate capture tool onto its accounting.

Dext remains an excellent choice if your need is precise: you are a chartered-accounting firm or a bookkeeper processing hundreds of documents a day across many client files, already tooled up on Xero / QuickBooks / Sage, and you want the best capture tool to feed your accounting. On that ground, Dext is hard to beat and its multi-client throughput is a real strength.
CassKai is built for you if:
Let us be honest: for very large-scale document capture in a multi-file practice, Dext is a specialist and CassKai does not aim to match its raw capture throughput. For an SME wanting OCR plus all the accounting in a single tool, CassKai takes the lead.
