Autocount users: How much are you paying?

d0raem0n — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 19:36:29 +0800

Hi all, I received Autocount quotation to upgrade from v1.9 to v2.2.

Here it is: ibb.co/album/G9VdgW

Despite v1.9 being good enough for our current usage, we are being forced to upgrade the entire software to v2.2 due to e-invoice requirements.

Reseller informed us that there will be no support/maintenance agreement to be signed (despite yearly support/maintenance fee of around RM1,500 to RM2,000).

There will also be no training on v2.2 because apparently "everything is the same as v1.9".

I guess I have 2 questions:

Are we being ripped off? For those who are also using Autocount, are you also paying around the same price as us?

Any good, responsible reseller based in Klang Valley to recommend?

Autocount price

Hi, so we have been using version 1.9 of autocount for many years.

E-invoice requirements basically force us to get the latest version of autocount.

In order to get e-invoicing features with autocount, apparently you have to repurchase the entire autocount software at a high price.

You cannot just buy autocount’s e-invoice module separately. If you want to use autocount’s e-invoice module, you have to buy the entire software again.

I heard that autocount’s competitors like SQL do allow you to purchase just their e-invoicing module for a small fee.

So, for Premium version of autocount, we are being charged RM9,000 just for the software. Each user then costs RM1,050. After all the supposed discounts, with 14 users it equals RM12,000 to RM14,000.

For basic version, price is RM4,200 and each user costs RM950.

We tried asking different resellers to quote us, but apparently they have to refer to autocount hq before quoting us. Maybe this is for them to know how much we paid for autocount in the past, and to make sure they charge us the same or more (and not less). All resellers we approached have so far charged us around the same, high price.

My question is, are you also being charged around this price for premium and basic package, or are we being ripped off?

Appreciate if you can provide me your pricing/quotation structure so we can compare.
