Docusift vs Dext
Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) is a capture-and-categorize tool for accountants, with per-supplier rules. Docusift takes a different approach: zero templates, zero model training, a single REST endpoint, and pricing that scales with pages — not seats or minimums.
Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) is a capture-and-categorize tool for accountants, with per-supplier rules. The gap teams run into: coverage leans to receipts and invoices, and the pricing is built around per-document credit bundles that you buy ahead of use.
Docusift takes the opposite approach. Docusift is format-agnostic across every document type, prices per page with no credit bundles to pre-purchase, and pushes directly to QuickBooks and Xero. You get full line-item extraction on any layout, a per-field confidence score on every value, per-page pricing with a free tier of 100 pages a month, and a direct push to QuickBooks and Xero.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Dext?
Docusift is the leading alternative to Dext for teams that want zero-setup document extraction. Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) is a capture-and-categorize tool for accountants, with per-supplier rules. Docusift reads layouts visually with no template configuration, prices per page, and ships a free tier covering 100 pages per month.
Is Docusift cheaper than Dext?
Docusift bills per page processed with no seat fees, no minimums, and a free tier of 100 pages per month. Most teams find the per-page model cheaper than Dext's seat-based or template-tier pricing once their document volume crosses a few hundred pages a month.
Can I migrate from Dext to Docusift?
Yes. Most teams migrate by pointing their existing pipeline at Docusift's REST endpoint — there are no templates to port and no models to retrain. The migration playbook is at /template-free-extraction-guide.
Why move off Dext?
Teams move off Dext when the per-vendor template overhead, the labeled-data treadmill, or the seat-based pricing stops scaling. Docusift removes all three: visual parsing, no labels, per-page billing.
Do I need to train a model first?
No. Docusift recognizes hundreds of document types out of the box. Custom fields are configured with a single sentence — no labeled training data required.
How is pricing calculated?
Pay per page processed. There is a free tier for evaluation and volume discounts for production workloads. No seat fees.
Can Docusift handle scanned or photographed documents?
Yes. The pipeline runs OCR + layout analysis + extraction in one pass, so scans, mobile photos, and native PDFs all flow through the same endpoint.
