Invoa vs Bukku
Bukku is Malaysian cloud accounting with LHDN e-invoicing on every plan, priced by monthly transaction volume from a free Launch plan to Elite.
Facts about Bukku come from Nukleus Ventures Sdn Bhd's own pages (bukku.my/pricing, bukku.my/features), checked on 21 October 2026. “Not shown” means that page does not say; we do not guess. Invoa facts are from our pricing page, before SST. If something here is out of date, write to hello@invoa.io and we will correct it.
In short
- Bukku is a full accounting system: ledger, bank feeds, inventory add-ons and SST modules, with e-invoicing included from the free plan up. If you want your books kept in the same place you invoice, it is a strong choice.
- Invoa is quotation-to-cash: proposal to quotation to invoice to pay page to receipt, with e-invoicing, expenses, bank reconciliation and profit and loss, operated from Claude or ChatGPT if you like. The accounts themselves go to your accountant through exports.
- On price the two overlap closely (Bukku Seed RM35, Invoa Core RM39). The real difference is what each one is for: bookkeeping versus getting quoted work paid.

Choose Bukku if
- You want the ledger, bank feeds and SST returns in the same system you invoice from.
- You already have an accountant who works in Bukku and wants to stay there.
- Your volume is high and flat-rate unlimited users matters more than per-person pricing.
Choose Invoa if
- Your work starts with a proposal or quotation and you want the customer to accept, pay and get a receipt without you retyping anything.
- You want a named pay page (FPX, card, DuitNow) on every invoice from day one, on the free plan.
- You would rather ask Claude or ChatGPT for the invoice than open a form, and approve it from your phone.
- You keep the books with an accountant and only need the sales side, expenses, bank matching and profit and loss yourself.
Questions people ask
- Can I move from Bukku to Invoa?
- Yes. Export contacts, items and documents from Bukku and import them in Settings → Import data; Invoa keeps your existing document numbers and continues the series. Prigo X did exactly this for its own company in October 2026.
- Does Invoa replace Bukku for my accountant?
- Not the ledger. Invoa gives your accountant a free seat, the bank reconciliation, profit and loss and a journal export; the statutory accounts stay in the accounting system your accountant uses.
- Is e-invoicing free on both?
- Yes. Bukku includes LHDN e-invoicing on its free Launch plan and Invoa includes it on its Free plan. Invoa submits as your intermediary (Prigo X Technologies), so there is no separate MyInvois setup beyond appointing it once.
