Lejar vs Biztory for Malaysian businesses
Biztory is a Malaysian cloud accounting and invoicing platform aimed at small businesses with no accounting background. Its plans are priced per year rather than per month, and by its own help documentation a single account can hold only one company. Here is what that means next to Lejar for a business running more than one entity.
Lejar's AI Inbox drafts the journal entry from a receipt or bill, line item by line item, and you approve it before it posts. Pro then covers 5 company ledgers at RM169 per month (then RM30 per extra ledger), while Biztory's own FAQ states a single account can hold only one company, so running a group means a fully separate Biztory subscription, starting at RM690 per year, for every entity.
Why Malaysian teams pick Lejar
Lejar Pro covers up to 5 company ledgers under a single RM169 per month subscription (then RM30 per extra). Biztory’s own FAQ is direct: "it is impossible to add multiple companies in one Biztory account", each account holds exactly one company, though several branches of that one company can be monitored together. For a holding group or a business with more than one SSM-registered company, Lejar’s single login is a structurally simpler starting point.
Lejar has a permanent free plan for one company with no expiry. Biztory has no free plan; its own pages describe a free trial only, stated as 14 days on its main pricing and e-invoice pages and as 30 days on its Hong Leong Bank partner page. Its cheapest paid plan, Plus, is RM690 per year.
Lejar bundles bi-monthly SST-02 generation and multi-currency accounting from the Starter plan at RM39 per month. On Biztory, SST support and multi-currency are both listed as additions on the Growth plan (RM1,290 per year) and above; the entry Plus plan (RM690 per year) covers sales, billing, and credit notes only.
Lejar's AI Inbox reads a receipt or bill and drafts the journal entry, with quantity, unit price, and SST extracted line by line, held in a review queue until you approve it. We found no AI or OCR receipt-capture feature described on Biztory's official pages; entries appear to be created directly by the user.
Biztory supports self-billed e-invoices and bulk consolidated MyInvois submission. Lejar does not yet support self-billed e-invoices. If self-billing is a requirement for your business today, Biztory has the edge.

Lejar vs Biztory: common questions
Can I run more than one company on a single Biztory account?
No. Biztory’s own help documentation states plainly that it is impossible to add multiple companies to one Biztory account, and that the account treats all its data as one company; you can monitor several branches of that one company instead. Lejar Pro covers up to 5 separate company ledgers under a single login for RM169 per month.
Does Biztory have a free plan?
No. Biztory offers a free trial only, not a permanent free tier. Its own pages list the trial as 14 days on its main pricing and e-invoice pages and as 30 days on its Hong Leong Bank partner landing page. Its cheapest paid plan, Plus, is RM690 per year. Lejar’s free plan has no expiry.
Does Biztory support MyInvois e-invoicing?
Yes, natively, with support for self-billed invoices and bulk consolidated submission; per-plan submission allowances apply, and its pricing page marks unlimited only on the top Elite tier. Lejar also submits MyInvois e-invoices directly to LHDN, free on every plan including Free, after a one-time appointment of Iterate Ventures Sdn. Bhd. as your MyInvois intermediary. Biztory’s self-billed e-invoice support remains a genuine edge if you specifically need it.
At what price does Biztory include SST and multi-currency?
Only from the Growth plan (RM1,290 per year) and above; the entry Plus plan (RM690 per year) covers sales, billing, and credit notes without SST or multi-currency. Lejar bundles bi-monthly SST-02 generation and multi-currency from the Starter plan at RM39 per month.
Can I migrate my data from Biztory to Lejar?
There is no automated importer for Biztory data. The path is to start on Lejar's MPERS chart of accounts and enter your Biztory closing balances as opening balances. Lejar has an automated importer for Xero only; the other Malaysian platforms, including Biztory, use the manual opening-balance approach.
Does Biztory have an AI assistant like Ask Lejar?
We found no conversational AI assistant or OCR receipt-capture feature described on Biztory’s official pages. Ask Lejar is a conversational assistant built into every Lejar plan, and the AI Inbox drafts journal entries from a receipt or bill with line-item detail.
