Kakitangan.com alternative
A pay-once alternative to Kakitangan.com, with no per-employee fee
Kakitangan.com is a well-established Malaysian HR platform and a fair choice for many SMEs. If you would rather pay once for unlimited staff and keep employee records on your own machine, Orbit HR is built for that.
Kakitangan.com runs payroll, leave and claims in the browser on a subscription that generally scales with headcount. That is convenient, and it is also a bill that never stops. Orbit HR is a desktop app you buy once for RM249, covering unlimited employees, with statutory calculations, payslips, EA forms and bank files, and every record stored on your own device.

- +Staff can use it from a phone browser or app

When to stay with Kakitangan.com
Stay with your current tool if:

- —You depend on its integrations with other systems you already run
How much does Orbit HR cost compared with a per-employee HR subscription?+
Orbit HR is RM249 one-time at the early-bird price, RM349 normally, for unlimited employees. A per-head cloud plan at a typical RM10 to RM15 per employee per month is roughly RM2,400 to RM3,600 a year for 20 staff, and that repeats every year. Check Kakitangan.com's current plan for your own headcount before deciding.
Where is my employee data kept?+
On your own computer. Orbit HR is local-first, and identifiers such as NRIC, bank account and statutory numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. There is no mandatory cloud account and nothing is harvested. A cloud HR platform, by design, holds those records on the vendor's servers.
Can my staff still apply for leave and see payslips?+
Yes. Orbit HR has employee self-service: each person logs in scoped strictly to their own record, applies for leave, submits claims with receipts and downloads their payslips and EA form. Leave balances follow the Employment Act 1955 tiers, including per-state public holidays.
