Swingvy alternative
A local-first, own-it-outright alternative to Swingvy
Swingvy is a polished regional HR platform with a genuinely good mobile experience. If your priority is a one-time price and employee data that never leaves your office, Orbit HR is worth comparing.
Swingvy covers HR, payroll, leave and claims across several Asian markets, in the browser and on mobile, billed as a subscription that commonly scales with headcount. Orbit HR takes the opposite path. It is one desktop app, bought once for RM249, unlimited employees, working offline, with the whole employee file sitting on your own machine and the sensitive fields encrypted.

- +Clean, modern interface that staff pick up quickly
- +Strong mobile experience for a distributed workforce
- +Covers more than one country in the region
- +Integrations and an ecosystem around the core HR record

Where Orbit HR differs
- One-time RM249 for unlimited staff instead of a monthly per-head bill
- Employee records live on your device, not on a regional cloud
- Payroll runs with the internet down
- Malaysia only, and that focus shows in the statutory engine
- The licence keeps working whether or not you ever pay us again

When to stay with Swingvy
Stay with your current tool if:
- —You pay staff in more than one country
- —Your workforce is spread out and lives in a mobile app
- —Several HR people need to work in the same records at once, from anywhere
- —You want an SLA and a vendor accountable for compliance updates
Does Orbit HR have a mobile app for employees?+
Orbit HR is a desktop app for macOS and Windows, with employee self-service reached from the office network and a kiosk PIN clock-in for shift teams. If your priority is every employee carrying HR in their pocket everywhere, a cloud platform like Swingvy fits that better today.
Is Orbit HR only for Malaysia?+
Yes, deliberately. EPF Jadual Ketiga including the 13 percent and 12 percent employer split at the RM5,000 wage threshold, SOCSO categories 1 and 2 with the 2026 SKBBK rates, EIS at 0.2 percent each side with the RM6,000 ceiling, PCB on LHDN's computerised formula and the HRD Corp levy are all built in. If you run payroll outside Malaysia, a multi-country platform is the right tool.
What happens to my data if I stop using Orbit HR?+
Nothing is taken away. The database is a file on your computer and the licence does not expire, so the app keeps opening and you keep exporting payslips, EA forms and statutory files. With a subscription, access to past payroll can end when billing does.
