Statrys vs Osome: Which One Should You Choose? (2026)

If you're deciding between Statrys and Osome to set up a Hong Kong company, most comparisons stop at the incorporation sticker price. That's the wrong place to stop. What either of us actually costs you shows up in year two, once the first-year bundle rolls off and you're paying for company secretary and accounting on your own, and that's where the two of us price things completely differently.

Statrys provides company registration services in Hong Kong and competes directly with Osome, so every figure below comes from a live check of Osome's pricing pages, our current price list, and both providers' Trustpilot profiles in September 2026. For more on Osome itself, see our Osome Hong Kong review.

Incorporation Compared

A registered address is legally required to incorporate in Hong Kong. Statrys includes it in its package, but Osome only bundles it on Comprehensive, so factor in the HKD 3,000/year add-on before comparing Essential's headline price directly against Statrys.

Osome also offers a "Comprehensive + Aspire account" bundle: incorporation at HKD 7,950 plus up to HKD 4,000 Aspire cashback. To qualify, you must be new to both providers, open an Aspire account via Osome's referral code and deposit at least HKD 8,000 within 30 days. The HKD 3,950 net price Osome advertises depends on meeting those conditions.

Accounting Compared

Which model actually costs you less depends on your revenue and transaction volume, and on what's included. A low-revenue company with few transactions will usually pay less on Osome's Operate tier than on our per-transaction pricing, but Operate covers bookkeeping only: Osome's audit is quoted separately, and only its Scale tier includes audit and profits tax filing, while ours includes both.

Here's a case where Statrys may cost less: say your company earns HKD 4,000,000/year from just 2 large transactions a month. On Statrys, that keeps you at our lowest tier, about HKD 10,700/year including the audit and tax filing. Osome bases its fees on either annual revenue or total transaction number and doesn't publish which applies. If it bills you by revenue, you'd land in its highest published band, where even the bookkeeping-only Operate tier costs HKD 22,000/year before any audit, and Scale, which includes it, costs HKD 47,388/year. If your revenue is high but your transaction count is low, ask Osome which basis it will use before assuming it's cheaper.

On Top of That: A Native Business Account

This is where the two of us stop looking alike. Osome doesn't offer a business account of its own in Hong Kong. Every account it offers is opened with a separate company under that company's own rules, not Osome's. We hold our own Money Service Operator licence, so the account, the cards, and the payments all run on the same platform as your incorporation and your books.

Osome is upfront that Aspire is a partner, not part of Osome, and that's exactly the point. Open a company with Osome and you still need a second application, a second KYC check, and a second login, for an account that runs under a different company's rules, separate from your incorporation and books. If Aspire declines or delays that application, you'll need to resolve it with Aspire directly, a company you didn't originally sign up with. If your only outstanding need really is a company and its filings, this won't change your decision. But if you also want an account that holds 11 currencies, reaches 120+ countries, comes with its own Mastercard® payment cards, and runs on the same login as your incorporation and books from day one, this is where Statrys offers more.

What You'll Actually Pay in Year 2 and Beyond

Incorporation is a one-time cost. After that, your annual costs are company secretary services, your Business Registration renewal, a registered address, and accounting (including the audit).

In the simplest case (one shareholder, no structural changes, revenue under HKD 200,000/year), Osome's Essential secretary, BR renewal, and Operate accounting come to about HKD 7,800/year, or HKD 10,800 with its registered address. Statrys comes to about HKD 17,700. But Operate excludes the audit every Hong Kong company needs, and with Osome's Scale tier, which includes it, the like-for-like total is about HKD 17,500, roughly level.

Beyond that, costs depend on your company. Osome's Essential tier bills per event for adding a shareholder, appointing a director or transferring shares, and its accounting fees rise with revenue band or transaction number, up to HKD 47,388/year for Scale at the top published revenue band. Statrys prices accounting by transaction count, not revenue. If you expect structural changes, or your revenue and transaction count don't move together, get quotes from both.

Registration Process Comparison

Both of us offer a remote-friendly registration process with comparable approval times, so this alone shouldn't decide it for you. Ask Osome directly about its timeline if yours is tight, since its published figures aren't consistent.

Customer Support Comparison

Support channels and coverage are close enough between the two of us that this shouldn't be your deciding factor either way.

User Reviews and Ratings

Both scores come from each company's global Trustpilot profile, not a Hong Kong-specific one. Osome's in particular is a merged profile spanning several prior listings. According to Trustpilot's own review summaries, Statrys reviewers most often praise the fast account setup, responsive support, international transfers, and the human touch of onboarding calls. Osome reviewers praise its polite, knowledgeable support team and intuitive platform, but some also report slow response times, communication gaps, missed deadlines, and difficulty resolving problems through chat.

Conclusion

Both are workable options for incorporating in Hong Kong. I'd point founders who want everything in one fee towards Statrys: one renewal that already includes your registered address and BR renewal, and accounting (audit and tax filing included) priced by what you actually process. I'd point solo founders with a simple setup, light revenue, and their own address towards Osome, if its bookkeeping-only Operate tier and pay-per-event secretarial fees suit them, keeping in mind that its audit is quoted separately. Check what your company will actually look like in year two, not just at incorporation, before trusting either of our headline prices.

If there's one place to weigh most heavily, it's the account. Incorporation is a one-time decision and accounting has genuine trade-offs either way, but the account is daily infrastructure, and it's the one area where Osome has no product of its own to offer you, only a referral.
