Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) is a comprehensive expense management and invoice processing platform designed for businesses and accounting firms.
What is Dext?
Dext, formerly known as Receipt Bank, is a well-established expense management platform that has been serving businesses since 2010. Founded in the UK, Dext has built its reputation on helping accounting firms and businesses process receipts and bills through their mobile app and email submission system. The platform requires users to submit documents via their mobile app or by forwarding emails to submit@receipt-bank.me.
Dext's approach focuses primarily on manual document submission through mobile apps or email forwarding, requiring active user participation for each document. Unlike Tailride's automated email account integration, users must remember to photograph receipts or forward emails to submit@receipt-bank.me. Additionally, Dext requires integration with accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage to function effectively, creating vendor dependencies.

In-Depth Feature Analysis
Pricing & Value Comparison
When it comes to pricing, Dext Starts at $30/month for 5 users while Tailride offers Free for first 10 invoices, then €19/month for 50 invoices. This difference becomes significant when you consider the value proposition each platform offers.
Dext's pricing starts at $30/month for business plans with a 5-user minimum, totaling $150/month for small teams. For accounting firms, their plans start at $270/month for 10 clients. This makes Dext significantly more expensive than Tailride's flat-rate €19/month, which covers unlimited users and doesn't require minimum user commitments or accounting software integration.
Setup & Integration Complexity
Dext requires accounting software integration, which can be a significant barrier for businesses looking for quick implementation.
Dext requires integration with accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage) as a prerequisite for optimal functionality. Users must download mobile apps, configure email forwarding to submit@receipt-bank.me, set up approval workflows, and train staff on mobile app usage. The entire process typically takes 1-2 weeks and requires coordination between IT, accounting, and user training teams.
In contrast, Tailride's one-click setup for 100+ portals means you can start collecting invoices immediately. Simply connect your Gmail or Outlook accounts, and our AI automatically begins finding and extracting invoices. No IT support needed, no accounting software dependencies, and no manual configuration required.

Real-World Results: Why Businesses Switch to Tailride
"Dext required our team to use mobile apps and email everything to submit@receipt-bank.me. Training took weeks and people kept forgetting to photograph receipts. Tailride automatically collects everything from our email accounts without any user training needed."— Marcus Weber, Operations Manager at Digital Solutions Ltd
Technical Deep Dive: AI & Automation
Dext relies on traditional OCR (Optical Character Recognition) combined with manual document submission workflows. Users must actively photograph receipts with mobile apps or email them to submit@receipt-bank.me, then manually review and approve extracted data. This creates processing bottlenecks and requires continuous user engagement, unlike Tailride's automated email monitoring and intelligent document collection.
