OCTIS vs Startupr — summary
Startupr's Digital package is USD 699 with government fees, the registered address and the company secretary appointment included, and it states its own TCSP licence. OCTIS prices incorporation at least 10% below their price, with government fees and the first-year company secretary included. After year one, Startupr's page does not publish a secretary renewal price and lists no accounting, audit or tax prices; OCTIS prices those from your current bill or their quote, 10–30% off: send us your current bill. 3E Accounting publishes Hong Kong incorporation at HK$280 plus the Companies Registry fee, with the company secretary and registered address free in year one (secretary HK$400 a year after) and a free Airwallex account and Visa card through a partner; it lists no CRM, automation, AI agents, FX or payments of its own. OCTIS is the international, enterprise-level global plan: a Hong Kong company run with OCTIS from anywhere, with a built-in CRM, workflow automation, Otty AI agents and one workspace, plus FX, a corporate card, an international business account and payments through licensed partners. Startupr is stronger on a low entry price and a bank application bundled in.

Is OCTIS cheaper than Startupr in Hong Kong?
We do not convert between USD and HKD because the rate moves and the packages differ in scope. Startupr's Digital package includes the registered address; OCTIS Starter does not. For company secretary, accounting, audit and tax, send us your current bill or their quote (from Startupr or anyone else) and OCTIS prices the same scope 10–30% off.
Can I move my company from Startupr to OCTIS?
Yes. There is no transfer-in fee on our side: you start on a company secretary plan and OCTIS handles the Companies Registry notification and the handover of your statutory records. Startupr may have its own terms for resigning as secretary; those are set by them, not OCTIS.
Does OCTIS replace the statutory audit?
No. A Hong Kong statutory audit must be signed by a practising CPA. OCTIS prepares the accounts and coordinates the audit with a Hong Kong CPA practice; it does not replace it and does not hold an audit licence itself.
