Built for	Canadian bookkeeping & accounting firms	Firms and businesses worldwide (700,000+ businesses; UK-based)
Core job	The whole client document workflow, done automatically: Collects documents the way clients already send them: a phone photo, an email, a secure upload link or a scan. Clients need no portal or app. Reads each document: vendor, date, totals and every line item. Names it to your firm's naming convention. Files it in the right client folder in your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Chases what's missing against each client's checklist, with automatic reminders and secure upload links. Posts the transaction to QuickBooks Online or Xero. Logs every document in and out in a full audit trail.	Capture and extraction: clients snap/forward documents, Dext extracts data and publishes to the ledger
Where documents end up	Your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, organized client folders you own and keep	Inside Dext ("Vault" storage); organized filing into your own Drive isn't the product
Line-item extraction	Included on every plan, every line on an invoice, never metered	Available, but consumes credits, line-item and bank-statement extraction are charged extras
Chases missing documents	Yes, automatic reminders with secure upload links	Paperwork-request tracking on higher tiers; automated chasing isn't the core
Pricing model	Flat & unmetered: one monthly price for your whole firm, in CAD. Every plan includes every feature; plans differ only by how many active clients you have.

Cost as you grow	The same flat price for every client within your plan; adding clients only changes the bill when you move up a plan	Every new client adds to the monthly bill
