Dext solves one slice. You still buy six more tools.
Dext captures receipts and categorises expenses. That's it. You still pay for Xero or MYOB for accounting, a separate payroll tool, a CRM, an inventory system, BAS prep tooling, and a BI dashboard. Six subscriptions. One OS replaces them all — with Automated Receipt Processing as 1 of 150+ AI agents included, not a separate product.
No AI agents. No verification. No compliance gates.
Dext is ML for categorisation. There are no autonomous agents chasing overdue invoices, preparing BAS, forecasting cash flow, or flagging Fair Work exceptions. There's no XAVS scoring, no Horizon supervision, no XGVS compliance gates. It's a receipt scanner — not a Business OS.
Your receipts are tidy. Your BAS is still manual.
Dext categorises expenses. XIntelliSync prepares the full BAS — GST position, PAYG withholding, TPAR eligibility — then runs it through XGVS against ATO DSP readiness, the Privacy Act on reporting export, and the full 34+ compliance frameworks. Dext tidies line items. XIntelliSync delivers the lodgement-ready draft.
Scale a team, scale the stack. Or don't.
Dext prices per business with tiered receipt volumes. Add more staff submitting receipts, hit the next tier. Then add Xero seats, CRM seats, payroll seats. XIntelliSync is flat $97–$497/month AUD with unlimited users. Hire 10 more people, bring on a bookkeeper, onboard a sales team — no price changes.
A receipt tool is not a business. Stop paying for slices.
