A Dext alternative for QuickBooks Online

Dext is a well-known capture tool. If you mainly need vendor bills and receipts in QuickBooks Online, PDFtoBooks does that job with fewer moving parts.

Keep client files on your PC

Dext is a cloud service, so every document is uploaded to it. With the PDFtoBooks Windows app, files are read on your own computer and never uploaded.

One flat price

Dext plans are tiered by how many items you process each month. PDFtoBooks plans are set by clients and pages, line items included, and failed pages are never counted.

Checked, not just captured

Lines, tax and total must agree on every bill, and anything that does not add up is flagged with the reason before it reaches your books.

How it works

  1. Drop in PDFs or photos of bills, or have clients email them to their own inbox address.
  2. Check only what is flagged, with the page shown next to each value.
  3. Send ready bills straight to QuickBooks Online, or download a CSV or Excel import file.
