Where ClientClose is a better fit
It collects everything, not just receipts. Dext is built around receipts and bills. But month-end also needs bank statements, payroll summaries, and whatever else a client owes you, and those are exactly the documents that go missing. ClientClose gives each client one link and a reusable checklist for all of it, then chases automatically until it lands.
No app for your client to install. Clients upload from a private link on their phone, no Dext account, no app, no email-in address to remember. Lower friction means the documents actually show up.
Flat pricing, clients included. Dext is typically priced per client, so the bill grows with your list. ClientClose is a flat $35/month on Starter with your clients included, and it still reads each receipt into QuickBooks Online or Xero in one click.
Where Dext might be a fit
Credit where it's due: Dext is a specialist with years of investment in extraction accuracy, bank-statement and line-item capture, supplier and bill workflows, and a wide set of integrations (including platforms like Sage). If your practice runs very high volumes of receipts and bills and you need the deepest possible capture pipeline, Dext goes further on that specific job than ClientClose does.
ClientClose isn't trying to out-capture a dedicated capture tool. It's trying to own the whole month-end collection, get every document out of the client, chase what's late, and turn the receipts into booked expenses, in one place, at one flat price.
Who switches to ClientClose
- Bookkeepers paying per client for capture who still chase documents by email.
- Practices that want collection, chasing, and receipt entry in one tool instead of two or three.
- Anyone who wants clients to upload without installing yet another app.
