Dext vs AutoEntry: which one for your invoices?
Both capture invoices and receipts and publish them into accounting software, so the choice is mostly about how you pay and which ledger you live in: Dext is sold per client or per user, often through an accounting practice, while AutoEntry sells credit bundles consumed per document and sits inside the Sage family. Choose Dext for a bookkeeper or accountant who wants receipts in the ledger; choose AutoEntry for practices already inside the Sage ecosystem.
Both products were checked on 22 September 2026 against the vendors' own public pages (dext.com, autoentry.com). We describe what each is built for and how it charges, and link to the vendor rather than quote figures that go out of date. Neither vendor paid to appear here and we earn nothing if you choose one. The third column is our own product, written to the same standard.

When neither is the right shape
Both are more than some jobs need. If what you have is a folder of supplier invoices from different suppliers — PDFs, scans, photos taken on a phone — and what you want is one spreadsheet you can trust, Invoices to Spreadsheets does only that: every invoice and its line items in an editable table organised by project, each value shown beside the original page so you can check it, exported to Excel or CSV. It does not post into accounting software, and it is new, without the years of production history these products have. Try one invoice free, without an account.
