A Dext alternative for statement work.
Dext is a strong bills and receipts platform, and for firms already running it the receipt capture and supplier workflow are the reason to stay. Bank statements are the weak edge: the allowance is small, the seat minimum is 5, and Dext's own help centre says statement data cannot be published to your accounting software.

What Dext does well
This section is here because a comparison that only lists faults is not a comparison.
-
Dext publishes bills, receipts, and invoices straight into accounting software, which is the part of the workflow it was built for and does well.

-
The plan includes 250 documents a month alongside the statement allowance, so receipt and bill volume is well covered at the entry price.

Dext states the statement limitation in its own help centre rather than leaving customers to discover it.
“Bank statements can't be published directly to accounting software from Dext.”

Where it falls short
Stated as facts with sources, not as opinions about the company.
-
Extracted statement data cannot be published to accounting software. You export a CSV and upload it yourself.

-
CSV is the export for statement transactions, so there is no QBO or OFX file for software that wants one.
“Select Export on the right to download all transactions as a CSV.”

The entry plan is priced for 5 users, so a solo bookkeeper pays for 5 seats to reach 10 statement sheets.

What LedgerBox does differently
Each of these is something the product does today. Prices come from the same plan definitions the pricing page reads.
- Statement rows reach QuickBooks
- LedgerBox exports QuickBooks CSV and QBO files, and on Pro and above it posts journal entries into QuickBooks Online directly. Statement data is not a second-class output here.
- Pay for pages, not seats
- Every plan includes unlimited users, so one person pays for one person's volume. Starter is $17 a month billed yearly for 60 pages, against $25.21 a month for 5 users and 10 statement sheets.
- Balances are checked
- LedgerBox sums the rows it extracted and compares them to the statement's own opening and closing balances, then flags anything it cannot verify for review rather than returning it as certain.
- More than one output format
- Excel, CSV, QuickBooks CSV, QBO, and JSON, on every paid plan. The plan you pick sets the volume, not what LedgerBox can do with a document.

Questions people ask
Can Dext send bank statement data to QuickBooks or Xero?
No. Dext's help centre states that bank statements cannot be published directly to accounting software from Dext. The documented path is to export the transactions as a CSV and upload that file to your accounting software yourself.
How many bank statements does the Dext entry plan cover?
10 sheets of bank statement extraction a month at $25.21 a month, alongside 250 documents. That plan is built around 5 users, so there is no cheaper single-user version of it.
What does LedgerBox do with statement rows instead?
LedgerBox exports statement rows as Excel, CSV, QuickBooks CSV, QBO, or JSON on every paid plan, and posts journal entries into QuickBooks Online on Pro and above. Starter is $17 a month billed yearly for 60 pages with unlimited users.
Should I leave Dext entirely?
Not necessarily. Dext handles bills and receipts well and publishes those straight into accounting software. Firms commonly keep Dext for supplier documents and use LedgerBox for statements, which is where the Dext allowance and the export limitation bite.
