Context.dev vs Dext

Context.dev

Pros

• Every credit comes from one pool, so scraping, search, brand and extraction don't need four subscriptions to reason about
• The free tier is usable rather than decorative — 500 credits, 50 brand retrievals and no card
• Overage rates fall as the plan grows, from $15 to $7 per 10K credits
• Make, Zapier, Sheets and Excel integrations put it in reach of people who won't be writing a client

Cons

• Credit-metered across six different products, so forecasting a month's spend takes more arithmetic than a flat seat price
• The free plan simply stops at 500 credits rather than degrading, which is honest but abrupt mid-build
• SSO, custom limits and the 99.9% SLA are Enterprise-only

Dext

Pros

• Unmatched OCR extraction accuracy on crumpled receipts and digital invoices
• Mobile app makes expense submission frictionless for field employees
• Deep two-way synchronization with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage

Cons

• No permanent free plan; operates on subscription tiers per business/client
• Document processing volume is tiered based on monthly plan limits
• Advanced ledger health tools (Precision) require higher-tier plans

Context.dev is the better fit for:

• Feeding an agent clean page text without maintaining a scraping fleet
• Building a RAG index from a documentation site in one crawl
• Pulling logos and brand colours for a directory, CRM or partner page
• Enriching a lead list with industry codes from nothing but a domain
• Watching competitor pricing pages and reacting when they change
• Replacing a stack of single-purpose API subscriptions with one credit pool

Dext is the better fit for:

• Eliminating paper receipts and manual data entry for small businesses
• Automating expense collection and client receipt chasing for accounting practices
• Auditing accounting ledgers for tax compliance and duplicate transaction errors
• Connecting expense data seamlessly to QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Sage
