Dext alternatives
Looking for a Dext alternative built for QuickBooks?
Dext is excellent at capturing receipts and bills. But monthly bank and credit card statements have a different shape — multi-page, multi-cardholder, with running balances and dedupe needs that receipt OCR doesn't address. BridgeBooks is built for the statement workflow.
Summary
Dext is a leader in receipt and supplier-invoice capture. It also handles bank statements, but as a secondary use case. BridgeBooks is purpose-built for statement import into QuickBooks Online — with multi-cardholder attribution, 4-level QBO dedupe, per-client vendor rules, and a workflow tuned for the accounting-firm monthly close. Most firms run both: Dext for receipts and bills, BridgeBooks for statements.

Why teams switch
What Dext costs you today
Built around receipts, not statements
Dext's UX, OCR pipeline, and pricing tiers are tuned for high-volume receipt processing. Bank statement import works but isn't the optimized path — multi-page documents, balance reconciliation, and multi-cardholder splits all happen but require more manual review.
Pricing scales with documents
Dext's per-document pricing model makes sense for receipts (small, many) but adds friction for statements (large, fewer). A firm processing 50 client statements per month pays differently than expected.
Multi-cardholder splits need manual fixup
Corporate credit card statements (Chase Ink, Amex Corporate) bundle every cardholder. Dext extracts transactions but cardholder attribution typically requires manual review after capture.
How BridgeBooks works
Statement → QuickBooks Online in four steps
- 1
Upload the PDF
Drop one statement or a batch of 12. Bank, credit card, Venmo, Stripe — anything that comes as a PDF.
- 2
AI extracts every transaction
Multi-page statements, multi-cardholder credit cards, mixed checking and CC in one upload — all parsed automatically.
- 3
Review with rules + dedupe applied
Per-client vendor rules auto-code transactions. 4-level dedupe flags anything already in the QBO file. Adjust what needs adjusting.
- 4
Push directly to QuickBooks Online
1-click direct push to the client's QBO file via OAuth. No CSV intermediaries, no manual upload step.
Switching from Dext
What changes when you migrate
- BridgeBooks is a complement to Dext, not a replacement: keep Dext for receipts and supplier invoices, use BridgeBooks for statements.
- Multi-cardholder Chase Ink and Amex Corporate statements are attributed to the correct cardholder automatically — no manual split work.
- 4-level duplicate detection runs against the existing QBO file before push, so a Dext supplier-invoice entry and a BridgeBooks statement-import never create the same transaction twice.
- Per-client vendor rules: code 'CHEVRON' to 'Auto: Fuel' once and the rule is scoped to that client only — no cross-client bleed.
- Switching the statement portion of your Dext workflow to BridgeBooks: migrate one client at a time at month-end, no all-or-nothing cutover.

BridgeBooks vs Dext — common questions
Bank-specific import guides
Already on BridgeBooks? Each of these walks through importing one specific bank or card into QuickBooks Online.
Import American Express statements
Amex corporate statements pile every cardholder's purchases into one PDF. BridgeBooks reads the statement, attributes each transaction to the right cardholder, and pushes the cleaned-up result into QuickBooks Online.
Read moreImport Bank of America statements
Business Fundamentals checking, Business Advantage credit cards, Business Advantage Banking — same workflow. Upload the PDF, our AI extracts the transactions, review, and push straight to QuickBooks Online.
Read moreImport Brex statements
Brex's QBO integration is good for a single-cardholder workflow, but corporate Brex Card statements with multiple cardholders, plus Brex Cash and Brex Rewards, all need a statement-based approach to land cleanly. BridgeBooks reads the Brex PDF or CSV, preserves cardholder attribution, and breaks out rewards / cash back into their own GL accounts.
Read moreImport Chase statements
Business checking, Ink credit cards, multi-cardholder corporate statements — all in one workflow. Upload the PDF, our AI extracts every transaction, review, and push straight into QuickBooks Online.
Read moreImport Credit Union statements
Most credit unions either don't have a QuickBooks Online bank feed or have one that breaks every few weeks. BridgeBooks reads the statement PDF or CSV directly. Works with Navy Federal, PenFed, BECU, Alliant, State Employees', and the thousands of local CUs accountants actually use.
Read moreImport Mercury statements
Mercury's QBO bank feed is solid for primary checking — but Treasury / IO yield accounts, multi-entity setups, and historical backfills still need a statement-based workflow. BridgeBooks reads Mercury PDFs and CSVs directly, captures yield income, fees, and FX as separate transactions, and pushes everything cleanly to QBO.
Read moreImport Square statements
Square's native QBO sync records each deposit as a lump-sum net amount — accountants then rebuild fees, sales tax, tips, and refunds by hand. BridgeBooks reads Square Settlement and Transactions CSVs directly, splits every deposit into the right GL accounts, and preserves multi-location attribution.
Read moreImport Stripe statements
Stripe doesn't issue traditional PDF statements; accountants stitch together payout CSVs and Balance reports. BridgeBooks reads those CSVs directly, records each payout as a clean QBO deposit, splits out processing fees, refunds, chargebacks, and dispute fees into their own GL accounts, and handles multi-currency correctly.
Read moreImport Venmo statements
Business Profile receipts, personal Venmo payments that should have been on the business account — both get cleaned up and pushed into QuickBooks Online with vendor categorization applied.
Read moreImport Wells Fargo statements
Initiate Business, Navigate Business, Optimize Business checking — plus Wells Fargo Business Platinum and Signify credit cards. Upload the PDF, our AI extracts every transaction, review, and push straight to QuickBooks.
