NeoReceipt

The Dext Alternative for Freelancers

Dext: Pre-accounting tool for bookkeepers managing many clients. Built for accountants and bookkeepers handling multiple client accounts.

Short answer: Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) is built for accounting firms processing documents for many clients. If you are an individual freelancer, that is more machinery than you need. NeoReceipt gives one self-employed person receipt capture, Schedule C categories, mileage, and income tracking at a flat price.

Why freelancers choose NeoReceipt over Dext

Dext's strength is volume and the accountant workflow, fetching, extracting, and pushing documents into accounting software across a book of clients.

A solo freelancer benefits more from a tool aimed at them directly: NeoReceipt, with Schedule C categories and a simple flat price.

Is Dext overkill for a single freelancer?+

The freelancer-focused choice

See why the self-employed pick NeoReceipt.

NeoReceipt saved me during tax season. As a freelance graphic designer, I had receipts scattered across emails and folders. In just three months, NeoReceipt automatically categorized over 400 receipts and helped me identify nearly $2,300 in deductible expenses I would have otherwise missed.

I drive for Uber and DoorDash full-time, and tracking gas and maintenance receipts was a nightmare. After switching to NeoReceipt, I reduced my bookkeeping time from 4 hours a week to less than 20 minutes and had every expense ready for my accountant.

As a real estate agent, I'm constantly on the road and collecting receipts from multiple vendors. NeoReceipt helped me recover over $4,100 in business deductions last year by ensuring nothing slipped through the cracks.
