DueBuddy vs Dext: different accounting ecosystems
Dext captures receipts and invoices for bookkeeping inside the Xero and QuickBooks ecosystem. DueBuddy exports DATEV EXTF and 1C — and reads structured e-invoices for free.
5 documents free. PDF, photo or XML — data out as CSV, Excel or JSON.
Where they differ first
Dext is built around bookkeeping workflows for accountants: capture, categorise, publish to the ledger in Xero, QuickBooks or Sage.
DueBuddy is built around extraction and export: read the file, verify the amounts, produce DATEV EXTF category 21, 1C, CSV, Excel or JSON.
Price
Dext does not publish prices on a public page we could verify on 15 November 2026 — their site asks for a quote or routes to regional plans.
DueBuddy publishes the number: €0.07 per scanned page, structured e-invoices free.
What Dext does better
Receipt capture on mobile with categorisation, and bookkeeping features built for practice workflows.
If your ledger lives in Xero or QuickBooks and you want capture wired into it, Dext fits that path.
What DueBuddy does that Dext does not
DATEV EXTF export for German accounting and 1C export for the post-Soviet market.
Reads ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, Factur-X, UBL and Peppol as data at no cost.
API and MCP server for automation, not just a UI.
When to pick Dext
When the practice runs on Xero or QuickBooks and the job is bookkeeping, not export format conversion.
Frequently asked
Does Dext export to DATEV?
Its focus is the Xero/QuickBooks/Sage ecosystem. Check the current integration list before committing — DATEV EXTF is what DueBuddy produces.
Why is there no Dext price on this page?
Because their site did not show a public price on 15 November 2026. We do not invent numbers to fill a table.
