Both softwares are very similar. I also use AutoEntry to configure a pdf bank statement into an excel doc without requiring to sync it to any accounting software
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.
I have never been able to get Expensify to work for me. The reports are just completely unintuitive and I end up having my client generate the report I need and send it to me instead.
For QBO the restriction on which email addresses can send receipts is too limiting. They also …
Dext Prepare mobile application has far better functionality compared to HubDoc or Expensify. In the mobile application, user can take a picture of multiple pages invoices, one invoice at a time or in bulk all together. In the mobile application, user also have the option of …
Receipt Bank is superior to Wave in terms of its accuracy of reporting and allocating expenses. Even though there is a fee for Receipt Bank and Wave is free, the monthly fee for Receipt Bank is well worth the money, given the benefits
I think Webexpenses' core strength is VAT reclaim and compliance, especially for UK/EU businesses. Unlike Expensify or card-centric Pleo, Webexpenses' system and dedicated local support are built to maximize recovery by automatically capturing and applying correct VAT rates, …
SAP Concur is a very similar product and I had two company credit cards whilst using the programme so I'm not sure how this compares but I'm sure the integration is similar.
I believe Webexpenses is much more user-friendly than other similar systems. The mobile app mirrors the web browser, and the system works in exactly the same way, meaning I can use the app on the go and keep track of my expenses, ensuring I never miss one, as it can be added at …
Honestly, I thought the two products were very similar, however, Webexpense beat ExpenseIn on price, and since we were already familiar, and more importantly, happy with Webexpense, it made logical and commercial sense to stay with Webexpenses.
Webexpenses is easier to use and understand to me and my colleagues. you literally can just look at the page and you can see the hwole graph of everything and the pie chart that is displayed so that you dont have to figure it out yourself
I used an internal programme in CBRE Ireland and it was not user friendly and you'd have to input the same information over and over for every expense added.
Application suits well to multiple user structure where users buy and pay expenses on the go so each user would have their own mobile app and access to Dext Prepare and soon after the purchase, they take a picture of the receipt and upload so finance team can access the information straight away. It would not suit well where a business has very few users who pay the bills and most bills are on the cloud (via emails, all-digital in the first place). Because these bills can be emailed to the accounting system in the first place anyway or other software providers where monthly subscription is much cheaper.
It's great that it is very easy to add documents, such as receipts, in different document formats, including PDF and Word. I use the system throughout the month, and add the expense line into the claim when it happens, rather than doing it all at the same time at the end of the month - this helps me to keep track of expenses owed and miles driven throughout the month. It would be great if I were able to save regular locations when adding mileage.
Key metrics on the submissions by clients and any delays. This allows for early identification where client may be struggling to get the information submitted to Receipt Bank, holding up the bookkeeping processing and ultimately delays in delivery of information to the clients.
Identifying unprocessed receipts sitting in the clients Receipt Bank file.. This assists in managing internal workflow and aiding team members who may find they need assistance in completing key tasks.
Identifying which clients are using Receipt Bank effectively and which clients need assistance. This can provide the opportunity to discuss with all clients what works well for them and what needs improvement by sharing some of the wins from other clients.
Providing managers the ability to review with ease the progress of Receipt Bank processing by client and by bookkeeper. This allows them to identify issues literally before they occur.
On the Inbox screen include a 'due date' column so items can be easily sorted in due date order to assist managing accounts payable
improve the data matching between XERO and DEXT. Currently it performance is 'random' and does not occur on each customer file. Seems it is something that needs to be requested from support. It should be an automatic feature
When you click add receipts after putting the details of your expense, you get the impression that you have done something incorrect from the prompt that you receive
Two options for adding receipts can confuse people when training them on how to use
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
It depends if alternative systems for other functions (HR / Payroll) have expenses functionality included as a supplementary service. If they’re part of a total system then having a separate system for expenses when another system provides the functionality (even if mildly less efficient, etc) then it wouldn’t be viable
Receipt Bank was great 3 years ago when I started using it. Now it’s way to expensive for what you can get elsewhere for free. Also the rebranding didn’t work in my opinion so the Dext name doesn’t have the same feeling to me as Receipt Bank.
It is simple to use. Things are intuitive even for a first time user. UI can be improved to make it have a more modern feel. But the current UI is simple and elegant. Different sections for claims, reports and receipts make it easy to get things sorted and quickly access them when needed.
The soft ware is reliable. The phone app works well and allows you to upload evidence, receipts, log mileage and log expenses. It works well and is rarely locked or there are very few times the app is down. The laptop based software is easy to access and again is always available
The phone based app and the laptop based app always load quickly. It is easy to access. It is quick to use. It easy and quick to upload information and evidence. It is easy to log details. The information goes off to accounting and payroll quickly resulting in prompt payments for staff
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.
The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.
It was difficult to train multiple people via video, as they learned at different speeds, and most of the user champions were not as capable with systems and finance processes as our dept.
I have never been able to get Expensify to work for me. The reports are just completely unintuitive and I end up having my client generate the report I need and send it to me instead. For QBO the restriction on which email addresses can send receipts is too limiting. They also do not extract data well and the overall system is very clunky compared to Dext. Of course the trade-off there is that you aren't paying a separate monthly subscription fee.
I think Webexpenses' core strength is VAT reclaim and compliance, especially for UK/EU businesses. Unlike Expensify or card-centric Pleo, Webexpenses' system and dedicated local support are built to maximize recovery by automatically capturing and applying correct VAT rates, ensuring compliant documentation, and integrating smoothly with local accounting systems like Sage.
Every department in my organization uses webexpenses. My role and the role of others involves travel, expenses and mileage. Everyone uses the app to log details, upload receipts and to claim allowable expenses. having spoken to everyone within my team and wider directorate, i do not know of anyone who has had issues with the app
Receipt Bank has helped alleviate the frustration felt by both our clients and our staff when it comes to the detail needed for some of the organizations that we serve. In some cases it's just NECESSARY to have all of that detail for the financial statement preparation, and prior to Receipt Bank, we had to email back and forth, download attachments, manually enter the information into Quickbooks Online, save the document etc. It was a tedious process. Receipt Bank took care of all of that, and it saves both our clients and our staff HOURS of work each month.
Receipt Bank has given our clients the confidence to make their work places paperless offices. It frees time and money for them, because they don't have to keep track of the documents, they don't have to store the documents (and find a place to store them), and they never have to file them away. Receipt Bank archives all of the documents so you can find them if you ever need them, and the documents are in their financial data as well, which is where they really need them. I've never had a client regret going to Receipt Bank just because it makes life so much simpler for them.
