WHY PEOPLE SWITCH

What people say about the alternatives.

Real comments from real users, with links to where they said it.

Dext are putting up their prices 400% ... we can't justify £20/month to get our own subs.Filewell: One price, paid once. No monthly fee for filing your own receipts.Said about Dext

Expensive unless used a lot as have to pay a set monthly fee rather than pay per usage.Filewell: Free for up to 100 documents a month; Pro is a one-time €39.Said about Dext

Very sketchy billing process - if you make any changes, your new subscription date changesFilewell: No subscription, so no billing dates to manage.Said about Expensify

Sending all your personal files to an external provider seems like a recipe for a privacy disaster.Filewell: Works offline. Your documents never leave your computer.Said about AI file organisers (llama-fs)

LLMs hallucinate. It will move some critical files somewhere random n levels deepFilewell: Every change is shown first and recorded, so nothing gets lost.Said about AI file organisers (llama-fs)

THE SMALL THINGS

Small things that matter.

What other tools skip, and Filewell doesn't.

No account to create

Most filing services want a sign-up and your email before they touch a single receipt.

Shows you first

AI organisers move files straight away; Filewell shows every new name and folder and waits for your click.

Undo, even next week

Every change is recorded, so a wrong move is one click to put back, not an afternoon of searching.

Amounts in the file name

Find the €54.20 phone bill from Explorer or Finder search, without opening a single PDF.

Plain files and folders

No database or vault to get locked into. Stop using Filewell and everything stays exactly where it is.

Folders your accountant expects

Bills, expenses and sales by quarter, ready to zip and send at tax time.

Private by design. Your documents never leave your computer.
