SkipEntry vs Dext for Invoice Processing

When Dext makes sense
Dext is a solid tool if your workflow involves mixed document types — employee expense receipts, bank statements, and supplier bills all in one place. The mobile app is a genuine advantage: team members can snap photos of receipts on the go and have them automatically pushed into the accounting workflow.
It also integrates directly with QuickBooks Online and Xero, which means extracted data can be pushed into the ledger without an intermediate export step. For practices already deeply integrated with those tools, that live sync can reduce friction.
If your primary need is managing mixed receipts and bills across a team — particularly one with mobile capture requirements — Dext covers that ground well.
When SkipEntry makes sense
SkipEntry is built for bookkeepers who process invoices in bulk — often across multiple clients, each with dozens of different vendors. The focus is depth of extraction rather than breadth of document types.
- You need full line item extraction — descriptions, quantities, unit prices
- You process high volumes of supplier invoices, not mixed receipts
- You want import-ready export files without a live accounting integration
- You manage invoices for multiple clients from a single platform
- Mobile capture is not part of your workflow
Where Dext captures standard fields (vendor, date, amount, category), SkipEntry goes further: PO numbers, HST/GST registration numbers, individual line items with quantities and rates, and math validation across the entire invoice. For bookkeepers where that depth matters, it's the difference between useful data and complete data.
