Otty's short answer
Gadjian publishes its price: Rp12,500 per employee per month for Standar and Rp20,000 for Sukses, with a six-employee minimum. Talenta publishes no price and sells by quote on WhatsApp, with eBupot and a wider HR suite in higher plans. Pick Gadjian for a small team that wants known costs. Pick Talenta if you expect to grow and want one vendor for HR, payroll and tax.

Which one fits you
OCTIS · Hong Kong company + OCTIS global plan
Choose OCTIS if your team is spread out and you want accounting, CRM, automation and AI agents in one workspace instead of separate tools.
Gadjian
Choose Gadjian if you have a small or mid-size team, want to know the monthly cost today and mainly need payroll, PPh 21, BPJS and attendance.
Mekari Talenta

What the table does not show
Gadjian's price list
Gadjian lists three plans per employee per month. Standar is Rp12,500 and Sukses is Rp20,000, both with a six-employee minimum. Apresiasi Kinerja is Rp6,000 with a 20-employee minimum and a six-month term, and it covers performance and recognition rather than payroll. You can pay monthly, every six months or every twelve months, and the discount for longer periods is not stated on the page. The Standar plan is marked free for the first five employees. Companies above 1,001 employees are asked to contact Gadjian, although its FAQ mentions special offers from 100 employees, so ask which applies.
How Talenta sells
Talenta shows three tiers: Essential, Plus and Talenta 360. Essential covers shift and attendance, payroll and employee self-service. Plus adds business-unit management, eBupot with DJP integration and manpower planning. Talenta 360 adds performance management, recruitment, AI liveness checks and talent development. Each plan links to WhatsApp sales and shows no price, so budget by asking for a written quote with your employee count.
Reading vendor comparisons
Both vendors publish blogs that compare themselves with the other, and each says it wins on support or analytics. One independent review says Talenta makes more sense if growth past 100 employees is planned. Treat these as opinion. The safest test is to run one real payroll month, with BPJS and PPh 21, in a trial of each and compare the output with what your accountant expects.
Where OCTIS fits
OCTIS does not sell Indonesian payroll or tax filing. If your Malaysian or Hong Kong company hires in Indonesia, the local payroll tool handles PPh 21 and BPJS, while OCTIS keeps the home company's books and brings the Indonesian payroll cost into your group view. For your home accounting bill, OCTIS offers 10–30% off your current bill.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Gadjian cost per employee?
Standar is Rp12,500 per employee per month and Sukses is Rp20,000, with a minimum of six employees. Apresiasi Kinerja is Rp6,000 per employee and needs at least 20 employees on a six-month term.
Does Talenta publish prices?
No. The Talenta pricing page shows the Essential, Plus and Talenta 360 plans but sends you to WhatsApp sales for a quote. Ask for the price at your own employee count.
Do both calculate PPh 21 and BPJS?
Yes. Both list payroll with PPh 21 tax and BPJS calculation, plus THR. Talenta also lists eBupot creation with DJP integration in its Plus plan, and Gadjian lists Coretax Bupot sync. Confirm exact filing outputs in a trial.
Which is better for a startup of 10 people?
Gadjian is simpler to budget, at about Rp125,000 to Rp200,000 per month for 10 staff on the published rates, and the page marks Standar as free for the first five employees, so confirm the final bill. Talenta may still fit if you plan to grow quickly, but you need a quote first.
