Dext alternatives in Australia
Dext alternatives in Australia differ most in what they read and what they charge for. Dext costs from A$36.94 a month, and line items and bank statements cost extra.
- Use Nectabl if you want line items, bank statements and checked totals in one price, as a spreadsheet for any accounting software.
- Use Hubdoc, or Xero's own Smart Document Capture, if you're on Xero and only need each bill entered.
- Use AutoEntry if you want documents posted into your accounting software, paid by the document.
- Use Zoho Expense if your staff claim back expenses.
- Use the ATO's free myDeductions app if you're a sole trader doing your own tax return.
For the two most common choices, see Dext vs Hubdoc in Australia.
Try Nectabl on your own paperwork 20 pages a month free. No credit card needed.
Nectabl
Upload receipts, invoices and bank statements together, and get one Excel file or CSV back. Nectabl reads every line item, adds them up to the cent, and checks the GST and each ABN. It flags anything that doesn't add up, beside the original. It's free for 20 pages a month, then A$24 a month for 200 pages, charged by the page, not per user.
There's no integration with Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online, and no bank feed matching or approvals. Nectabl gives you a file to import, so it works the same whatever software each client uses.
Hubdoc
Hubdoc comes free with Xero and files each bill's supplier, date and total. It doesn't read line items, and it doesn't work with MYOB. On its own it costs about A$17 a month, charged as US$12.
Xero now has its own capture too, called Smart Document Capture, in the Documents section of Xero. It comes with every Xero small business plan, creates the transaction in Xero and matches it to your bank feed. Like Hubdoc, it only works with Xero. Xero says bank statements are still to come.
QuickBooks Online receipt capture
This comes with a QuickBooks Online plan and files documents with the rest of your books. Like Hubdoc, it only works with its own accounting software.
AutoEntry
AutoEntry posts documents into accounting software, like Dext. It charges by the document, not by the client.
Zoho Expense
Zoho Expense is for staff who spend their own money and claim it back, with approvals. It charges per user, which is expensive when one person does all the paperwork.
ATO myDeductions
myDeductions is free, and it sends your records straight into myTax. It's only for your own deductions, and you can't get the data out as a spreadsheet.
What to check before you switch
- If line items are included or cost extra. A total alone can't be checked or split.
- How long it keeps your files, who it sends them to, and if they train AI.
- If you can leave easily. A tool tied to one accounting program is hard to leave.
- What a quiet month costs. Paying per client or per user hurts when work is seasonal.
