Autocount vs SQL Accounting
Which accounting software is better for your Johor business?
The Verdict
"Autocount is superior for customization, scalability, and Developer API ecosystem."
SQL Accounting is a strong competitor in the Malaysian market, known for its speed and simple entry. However, Autocount Accounting 2.0 stands out with its robust Microsoft SQL Server backend, which offers superior data integrity and performance for larger databases compared to SQL's Firebird engine.
For businesses in Johor Bahru that require integration with Shopee, Lazada, or custom internal systems, Autocount is the clear winner. Its open API architecture allows developers (like Xantec Solutions) to build custom bridges that SQL Accounting simply cannot support.
While SQL is great for very small micro-businesses, Autocount scales better for SMEs expecting to grow into Manufacturing or Multi-Branch retail operations.
