OCTIS vs Altomate — summary
Altomate is genuinely strong value for the pure back office: transparent MYR pricing, a licensed company secretary from RM40/month and incorporation from RM1,399 inclusive of the SSM fee. But it covers only the compliance and finance-admin pillars — an SME still has to buy a CRM, payment gateway, business banking, operations tooling and any AI separately. OCTIS bundles the same licensed company secretary PLUS a built-in market-intelligence CRM, payments/FPX, a multi-currency account, marketing and one AI across everything, from RM50/month, with incorporation at RM200 (RM0 with a valid referral link) — also below Altomate's headline. Compare the total stack, not just the cosec line, and OCTIS is usually the better value for money for a business that needs more than compliance. The reason OCTIS can price lower is structural: 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 that lower cost straight to you.

What is Altomate used for?
Altomate is a Malaysian digital corporate-services provider. It offers online Sdn Bhd incorporation via SSM, a licensed company secretary with a registered office, and optional cloud bookkeeping (Xero/QuickBooks), corporate tax, payroll and trademark services under one brand — a broad back-office bundle for startups and SMEs.
How is OCTIS different from Altomate?
Altomate is a broad back office — secretary, accounting, tax, payroll, trademark. OCTIS covers the compliance side of that back office (a licensed company secretary and statutory filings) and adds the front office across the rest of its pillars: a built-in CRM and market intelligence, a payment gateway (cards/FPX/e-wallets), a multi-currency business account, an operations layer (projects, tasks, chat, document vault) and one AI across everything. Altomate is service-led; OCTIS is an AI-first business operating system.
Is OCTIS more expensive than Altomate?
On the secretary line alone, Altomate's RM40/month CoSec Basic is very cheap — but billed annually, it excludes the annual return (RM600 add-on) and resolutions, and its accounting, tax and payroll are quote-based. OCTIS Launch is RM50/month (RM600/yr) and OCTIS also replaces a separate CRM, payment gateway, business account and operations tools — so once you total the stack a business actually needs, a single OCTIS plan is usually the lower cost. Incorporation is also lower at OCTIS: RM200 (RM0 with a valid referral link) vs Altomate's RM1,399. A Lowest-Price and Money-Back guarantee back it up.
Can I switch from Altomate to OCTIS?
Yes. OCTIS handles the company-secretary transfer end to end — taking over your statutory records and SSM filings, reappointing a licensed named secretary and setting up your compliance calendar inside the platform so nothing is missed during the switch. From there you can turn on the CRM, payments, banking and the other pillars at your own pace.
Does Altomate have a CRM or payment gateway?
Based on its public materials, no. Altomate focuses on back-office services and does not provide a built-in CRM, sales pipeline or market intelligence, and it appears to offer bank/partner referrals rather than a native payment gateway or an integrated business account. If you need to manage customers and collect payments, you would run separate tools alongside Altomate. OCTIS includes a built-in CRM, a payment gateway and a multi-currency account on the same platform.
