OCTIS vs Bossboleh — summary
Bossboleh covers one part of running a Sdn Bhd. OCTIS runs the whole company: it covers that part and adds a built-in CRM, workflow automation, Otty AI agents, one workspace, and FX, a corporate card, an international business account and payments via licensed partners, for 10–30% below your current bill or their quote. 3E Accounting, the third column below, resells accounting software and Microsoft Dynamics CRM but has no automation, AI agents, payments, FX or card of its own. If you want nothing but the cheapest possible filing service on paper, Bossboleh's headline price is competitive, though its Basic tier then charges per request for the Annual Return (~RM450, unverified), financial-statement filing and resolutions, which quickly erodes that edge. OCTIS wins on value-for-money for any SME that actually operates: OCTIS is priced from your current bill, 10–30% less than what you pay now, so send us your current bill, and already bundles a licensed company secretary, a no-fee multi-currency business account via licensed partners, a payment gateway, a built-in CRM and project tools, the things a Bossboleh customer must buy and integrate from separate vendors, on top of Basic's per-request fees. OCTIS can pack in so much more for a structural reason: AI and automation handle the repetitive work, filings, reminders, data entry and document prep, so we run lean with far less manual labour, and pass those savings on to you.
- Runs the whole company, not one service: built-in CRM, workflow automation, Otty AI agents and one workspace, plus FX, corporate card, international account and payments via licensed partners.
- AI and automation handle the repetitive work, so we run lean and pass the savings on, lower price, same outcomes.
- 10–30% less than what you pay now or their quote, send us your current bill, and it bundles far more than a secretary-only plan.
- Incorporation at least 10% below Bossboleh's RM1,998 starting price.
- Same licensed company-secretary compliance, with the CRM, payments and tools included, not a paid add-on.
- Built-in CRM, invoicing, payment gateway and an multi-currency business account via licensed partners, Bossboleh has none.
- Foreign founders supported without forcing the top tier; Bossboleh gates them behind Ultimate (from RM180/mo).
- One AI across compliance, customers and finance, plus a published Money-Back Guarantee.
Is OCTIS cheaper than Bossboleh?
OCTIS does not publish a price list; we price from your current bill, 10–30% less than what you pay now or their quote, send us your current bill. Bossboleh Basic starts from RM80/mo, but the real gap is total cost, incorporation is lower (at least 10% below Bossboleh's from RM1,998), OCTIS already bundles a business account, payment gateway and CRM that Bossboleh does not offer, and none of it carries Basic's per-request fee for the Annual Return. So for an active business the total cost is usually lower on OCTIS.
How does OCTIS compare with Bossboleh and 3E Accounting?
Bossboleh and 3E Accounting each cover the company-secretary and compliance side. OCTIS covers that too, and adds a built-in CRM, workflow automation, Otty AI agents, one workspace, and FX, a corporate card, an international business account and payments via licensed partners. It is priced 10–30% below your current bill or their quote, so send us the bill for a like-for-like quote. A statutory audit is signed by an independent licensed auditor, which OCTIS coordinates.
What is Bossboleh used for?
Bossboleh is a Malaysian cloud company-secretary service. It handles Sdn Bhd incorporation, the licensed named secretary retainer, annual returns and statutory filings with SSM. Its Basic plan starts from RM80/mo billed annually; accounting and bookkeeping are handled by a separate partner.
How is OCTIS different from Bossboleh?
Bossboleh is a company-secretary filing app. OCTIS is human-verified AI accounting, audit and tax that includes the same licensed compliance, plus an multi-currency business account via licensed partners, payment gateway, invoicing, a built-in market-intelligence CRM, project tools and an AI assistant, so you stop paying for and switching between separate vendors.
Does Bossboleh include accounting and payments?
No. Bossboleh focuses on statutory compliance. Accounting and bookkeeping are pushed to a separate partner, and there is no payment gateway, business bank account, invoicing or CRM inside the product. OCTIS includes a payment gateway, an multi-currency business account via licensed partners and a built-in CRM from Launch, and adds invoicing on its higher plans.
Does OCTIS support foreign-owned companies?
Yes, without forcing the most expensive plan. With Bossboleh, foreign founders need the higher Ultimate tier (from RM180/mo); OCTIS supports local and foreign directors and shareholders without that gate. The standard statutory requirement of a Malaysia-resident director still applies, as it does with any provider.
Can I move from Bossboleh to OCTIS?
Yes. OCTIS handles the company-secretary transfer for you, including taking over your statutory records and SSM filings. Your incorporation details and compliance calendar are set up inside OCTIS so nothing is dropped during the switch, and your customer, invoicing and finance data start in one place from day one.
Does OCTIS replace my statutory audit?
No. A statutory audit by an independent licensed auditor remains a legal requirement. OCTIS does not replace it. This is the same legal reality for any provider, Bossboleh included.
