“Accounting software aimed to automatically track business transactions and provide precise data reconciliation from Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, and other platforms in QuickBooks/Xero.” When a business grows and expands, it becomes more complicated to keep a hold of business activities in online stores on Amazon, eBay or Shopify using various payment methods. So Synder is presented as a solution to free up to 12 hours per week, eliminate errors in Excel spreadsheets or manual…

It is great for accounting firms. Easy to add and administer client accounts. Easy to integrate with QuickBooks Online. Easy for clients to capture and submit receipts on the go. It is hard to use for manual data entry, and if your clients frequently have very long receipts the Dext Mobile app does not work well as it compresses the image to the point where it is completely illegible. It does not seem to be designed for business owners to use directly rather than using it through their accounting firm.

After five years of paying for annual service. I attempted to cancel my annual payment on the online portal. I was then billed for the annual renewal. I contacted customer support and traded emails only to get "note that according to our Terms and Conditions, purchases are considered final and non-refundable" and your subscription will be active for the next 364 days. To which I responded, "I forgot just how easily the wrong response can destroy the possibility of future renewal, recommendation, customer retention, customer satisfaction and reviews." UPDATE: After submitting negative reviews, I recieved an email from elevated customer support teammate named "Renata" who asked pertintent questions about my cancelation. She reviewed and made an exception based on our circumstances and adjusted my annual plan to a monthly plan and processed a refund.

Pros
IRIS Software Group
  • Receipt Bank does a stellar job of extracting information from photos of receipts and bills. I'd say 95% of the time the information pulled is correct, so very rarely do I have to correct an amount or date.
  • One feature I really enjoy is not only the syncing with Quickbooks Online, but the fact that it also pushes the image to Quickbooks Online as an attachment! This means that for every expense/bill processed through Receipt Bank, an image of it is available inside of the transaction inside of Quickbooks Online. This makes researching a breeze.
  • Receipt Bank makes it very simple for users to add documents to the platform. Each company receives a dedicated Receipt Bank email address, which they can email to and upload documents, or users can use the phone apps (which are really easy to use), or they can upload documents from their computer. Training our clients to use it really can't be any easier!

Cons
IRIS Software Group
  • Receipt Bank Practice Platform has many great features. As they develop the platform I would like to see a rigorous review of all features so as not to add too many and overwhelm my team.
  • Having the flexibility to pick and choose from a suite of features and implement the ones that best suit my practice. A tailor made Receipt Bank Practice Platform. this would allow my practice to grow into the features rather than be overwhelmed by too many.

Dext is the best way for us to manage our business expenses. Physical and PDF receipts/invoices will be around for a while, but the move to eInvoicing is very good and we look forward to Dext adding this feature

Usability

Dext Prepare's usability is great, it has lots of functions and you can scan any type of document, including hard copy handwritten documents. It is not very accurate but it is handwritten!! Apart from it, you can use multiple functions like one page at a time, multiple, in bulk. You can send emails with multiple attachments and one of the greatest function is the mobile application capabilities.

Support Rating

When I think I have broken the platform the help guys and girls are simply fantastic. They take time to understand the problem and usually resolve the issue on the spot. I have not had to wait more than an hour to get anything resolved - be that an issue I have created or a fault in my understanding of the program. Can't rate their support I have received to date highly enough.

Dext is much easier to use than Hubdoc. You can approve documents in batches whereas in Hubdoc you need to review each document separately. Once Dext is set up properly, there is little need to review every document.
Hubdoc does have the ability to save documents to an external site, like Google docs as a backup.
