OCTIS vs SQL Account, side by side

SQL Account is Malaysian accounting software sold as a cloud subscription (Essential and Pro) with LHDN e-invoice and SST compliance built in. Someone on your side still keys in, reconciles and reports. This page compares it with OCTIS for a Sdn Bhd, where AI prepares the books, licensed professionals check them, and the company secretary, audit coordination and tax submission are in the same package.

Otty, the OCTIS octopus

Otty's short answer

OCTIS runs your Sdn Bhd as one system: the filings plus a built-in CRM, workflow automation, AI agents, one workspace and, via licensed partners, FX, a corporate card, an international business account and payments. If someone in your team will do the bookkeeping, SQL Account Cloud at RM79/month (Essential) or RM109/month (Pro) is inexpensive and already handles LHDN e-invoice and SST. If you want the books, the company secretary, audit coordination and Form C submission handled without running software, OCTIS does that and is priced 10–30% below your current bill.

Why teams switch

Everything SQL Account does not cover is built in: CRM, automation and AI agents, plus FX, card, account and payments via licensed partners.
Nobody on your team has to learn or run an accounting system.
Company secretary, annual return and Form C submission sit in the same package as the books.
Priced from your current bill, 10–30% below what you pay now or their quote.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is OCTIS cheaper than SQL Account?

Yes. Send SQL Account's quote or your current bill on WhatsApp, and OCTIS prices the same work 10–30% lower than it. Every price comes with the Lowest Price Guarantee and a 30-day money-back guarantee, terms apply, and licensed professionals check every filing. There is no list price to compare against: your quote or bill is the starting point, so the saving is measured against what you would actually pay.

How much does SQL Account cost?

SQL Account's pricing page lists SQL Account Cloud at RM79/month (Essential) and RM109/month (Pro), additional users at RM60 each, SQL Payroll Cloud from RM69/month and HRMS at RM50/month. The page does not say whether SST is included, and no price is shown for the permanent payroll licence or the private cloud. Check the page for current terms.

Can OCTIS work with my SQL Account data?

Send us your current bill and a sample of your reports. We will confirm how your books move across or whether we take over only the secretary and tax submission, before we quote.

Does OCTIS replace my statutory audit?

No. The statutory audit is performed by an independent auditor. OCTIS prepares the audit schedules, liaises with the auditor and circulates the audited financial statements.

How is OCTIS different from SQL Account and 3E Accounting?

Each covers a slice. SQL Account is one tool or service, and 3E Accounting is a firm that does filings and resells software. OCTIS runs the whole company in one place: filings, built-in CRM, workflow automation and AI agents, plus FX, a corporate card, an international business account and payments via licensed partners. Send us your current bill or their quotes and we price OCTIS 10–30% below them, with a Lowest Price Guarantee and 30-day money-back guarantee, terms apply.
