The difference
Month-end stalls on charges with no proof
Dext is built for capturing receipts and extracting their data. If month-end is about charges still missing proof, ClearSpend AI starts there.
See every charge that still needs proof
Import from Xero, Plaid, or a card statement. Each charge shows whether proof is matched, requested, or still missing.
Find proof where it already lives
Matches invoices and receipts from Gmail and Google Drive to each charge. Paper receipts can go via WhatsApp or upload.
Review only the exceptions
Uncertain or incomplete matches stay in review. Completed records can be sent back to Xero.
Auto follow-up
Missing receipts get chased for you
A few charges without proof hold up month-end. ClearSpend AI follows up until they’re covered.
Charges without proof go to Needs Review as Requested.
About an hour later, ClearSpend AI emails the person assigned.
Reminders continue every 24 hours until proof is linked, then stop.
