Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp (+60 11-2600 6427).

Is Orbit HR a good Actpay alternative?

Orbit HR is a strong option for Malaysian SMEs that want payroll and core HR in a local-first desktop app. It works fully offline on macOS and Windows, covers unlimited employees, and stores employee records on your own device.

How much does Orbit HR cost?

Orbit HR costs RM 249.00 once for unlimited employees, with updates for the core app included. Ask Actpay for a current written quotation, including any renewal or support charges, so you can compare the same period and scope.

Can Orbit HR run payroll without internet?

Yes. Orbit HR works fully offline, so payroll, leave, attendance and records remain available without an internet connection. It runs as a native app on macOS and Windows, while optional sync is separate from the core licence.

What should I compare before switching payroll software?

Compare the total licence and renewal cost, employee limits, statutory calculations, submission files, operating systems, backups, updates and migration support. Ask both vendors to confirm these points in writing for your actual headcount and payroll workflow.
