AutoCount HRMS (formerly AutoCount Cloud Payroll)
Tier S · Published pricesAutoCount's cloud payroll and HR suite (now branded AutoCount HRMS) for Malaysian employers
AutoCount HRMS, sold by some dealers as AutoCount Cloud Payroll, is the cloud payroll and HR product of Auto Count Sdn Bhd of Petaling Jaya, which has developed accounting software since 1996. Its group holding company, Autocount Dotcom Berhad, listed on Bursa Malaysia in May 2023 and, news reports say, moved to the Main Market on 25 February 2026. AutoCount says it has about 300 authorised dealers and that more than 190,000 employees have used AutoCount HRMS since its May 2019 launch.
Pros
- + Free mode for payroll up to 3 employees (eLeave, eClaim, eAttendance up to 10)
- + Published plan prices
- + Covers EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB, Zakat and EA forms, AutoCount says
- + On LHDN's list of MTD-compliant payroll software providers
Cons
- − Premium plan starts at 5 headcount
- − Express plan is payroll only, billed yearly from 30 headcount
- − Prices exclude SST and, on dealer pages, implementation
- − Buyers may deal with a dealer rather than AutoCount directly
Malaysia note
AutoCount says the system complies with LHDN, KWSP (EPF), SOCSO and EIS requirements and covers income tax (PCB), Zakat, Tabung Haji and ASN deductions and EA forms. Auto Count Sdn Bhd is on LHDN's list of payroll software providers whose computerised PCB (MTD) calculation meets LHDN's specification (effective 24 June 2014), so employers using it need no separate LHDN verification. Its plan table lists payroll posting to cloud accounting, which suits a contractor already keeping its books in AutoCount Cloud Accounting.
BrioHR
Tier S · Published pricesMalaysian modular HR suite, from recruitment and onboarding to payroll
BrioHR is a modular cloud HR suite from BrioHR Sdn Bhd of Kuala Lumpur, which says it has operated since 2018 and serves over 1,000 organisations. News reports in May 2025 said it raised a US$6.5 million Series A to expand in ASEAN. Payroll and the payroll bundles are sold for Malaysia and Singapore only.
Pros
- + Published module and bundle prices
- + Prepares EA, CP39, Form E and CP8D, BrioHR says
- + Covers the HRDC levy as well as EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB
- + On LHDN's list of MTD-compliant payroll software providers
Cons
- − Minimum charge of USD50/month
- − Prices shown in USD rather than ringgit
- − Recruitment and onboarding modules start at USD120/month
- − A broad suite is more than a payroll-only buyer needs
Malaysia note
BrioHR says it calculates EPF, SOCSO, EIS, HRDC levy and PCB automatically and prepares EA, PCB2(II), CP39, Form E and CP8D, plus bank files. BrioHR Sdn Bhd is on LHDN's list of payroll software providers whose computerised PCB (MTD) calculation meets LHDN's specification (effective 17 February 2020).
