OCTIS vs Xero — summary
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. Xero is a well-known, flexible ledger if you or your bookkeeper will do the work: plans run from USD7 to USD82 a month at regular prices, with no per-user fee. OCTIS is for owners who want the books, the secretary, audit coordination and Form C submission handled, and it is priced 10–30% below your current bill.
- Everything Xero does not cover is built in: CRM, automation and AI agents, plus FX, card, account and payments via licensed partners.
- The books are done for you, not left as a task on your desk.
- Company secretary and SSM annual return are in the same package, which Xero does not offer.
- Priced in the way you pay today: 10–30% below your current bill or their quote.
