Dext Prepare vs Receipt Stash

Dext Prepare captures receipts and invoices and extracts their details for bookkeeping. Documents can come in through the mobile apps, computer upload, supplier invoice fetch, or email. Dext says its AI extracts supplier, date, tax, and total with 99.9% accuracy, and the product can apply learned categorisation rules and flag duplicate transactions. It includes line-item extraction, purchase-order matching, and approval routing. Dext says it connects to 36+ accounting platforms, e-commerce platforms, and more than 11,500 banks and financial institutions; named examples include Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Shopify, PayPal, and Stripe. The annual Business plan is £290 a year, billed at £24.17 per month, excludes VAT, and includes 250 documents per month for five users. There is no free plan; a 14-day free trial requires no credit card. Access is available on Android, iOS, web, and as a Chrome or Edge extension. Dext says it is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and encrypts stored data with AES-256 and communications with TLS 1.2 or higher.

Receipt Stash captures, codes, tracks, and stores expense paperwork for accounts payable. Receipts can arrive through its Android or iOS app, email forwarding, web uploads, or scheduled Dropbox syncing. The service says it extracts data and codes submissions in less than five seconds, and can identify and remove duplicate documents. Its mobile app supports gallery uploads, batch capture, stitching long or multi-page receipts, and user permissions. Users can make custom expense reports and PDF statements, create CSV export templates, and track spending in dashboards. Receipt Stash publishes expenses to Xero as bills, bank transactions, expense claims, and more; QuickBooks publishing supports bills, expenses, expense claims, and more. Plans include the same features and unlimited users, but differ by monthly document allowance; extra submissions cost $0.29 each. Listed plans range from $6 a month for up to 25 documents to $124 a month for up to 800 documents, each with the stated additional-document charge. A 14-day trial includes up to 50 scans and requires no credit card unless purchasing. The company is based in Orewa, Auckland, New Zealand.
