Dex review
A contact manager for organizing relationships across imports, calendars, email, and devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dex is a personal relationship management application for organizing personal and professional networks. It brings together contacts from LinkedIn, Facebook, Gmail, Outlook, Google Contacts, iCloud, phone contacts, and CSV files, then adds notes, interaction timelines, custom fields, groups, tags, and reminders. It suits people who actively maintain many relationships and want contact context available across web, desktop, mobile, and browser-extension experiences.
Its strongest fit is breadth across platforms and contact sources. Dex supports Gmail and Outlook email synchronization, Google Calendar and Outlook calendar synchronization, LinkedIn browser-extension synchronization, and two-way device address-book sync. Map view, one-time reminders, recurring reminders, and keep-in-touch cadences add practical tools for ongoing relationship management. API access and Zapier automation extend its use beyond the core application, while optional AI-assisted contact organization adds another way to manage information.
Pricing begins with Premium at $12 per month, including access across mobile, browser extension, web, and desktop, LinkedIn sync for up to 2,500 connections, 10 research credits per month, map view, WhatsApp and messaging sync, and email and calendar integrations. Professional costs $20 per month and adds LinkedIn sync for up to 9,000 connections, 20 research credits per month, mail merge, voice mode, and Outlook integration. Enterprise adds CRM and notetaker integrations, SAML SSO, a SOC 2 report, and team billing and invoicing. Premium and Professional include a seven-day trial requiring a credit card. Dex is a strong choice for power users who value reminders, imports, and synchronization; users seeking a free contact manager or a simpler contact list may prefer a narrower tool.
