Dext alternative for Xero practices
Dext is a strong capture suite if you need several ledgers, a client app and bank-statement extraction. That is a different product from a Xero draft-bill pipe.
BillFlow Ai: supplier invoices in, coded Xero ACCPAY drafts out, PDF attached, nothing authorised. £29 a month after a 14-day trial.
Do not treat this as a Dext price list. Partner plans are per client.
| Dext Prepare | BillFlow Ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Ledgers | Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and others. | Xero only. |
| What it pushes | Publish into the ledger. | ACCPAY draft only. Never authorised, never paid, never ACCREC. |
| Lines and totals | Often an allowance or add-on. | Printed total wins when the maths disagree. |
| Inbox | Dext address plus client app. | Unique alias at in.billflowai.co.uk, or upload. |
| Practice pricing | Usually per client. | Flat £29 / month after 14 days. |
| VAT default | Depends on the organisation. | GBP and 20% INPUT2, overridable per supplier. |
Dext if not Xero-only. BillFlow Ai if Xero only and you do not want per-client capture pricing.
If Hubdoc or Smart Document Capture already does enough, start there. See Hubdoc alternative.

Forward a bill. Find the draft in Xero. Small invoices sync on their own. Anything over your threshold waits for a glance.
