PEKO publishes this guide. We think PEKO fits venues that want to keep their current POS; below is when another tool fits better.
Updated October 2026: Mulah's strength is phone-number loyalty with SMS campaigns and campaign analysis, a familiar flow for Malaysian guests. No app for customers: snap the receipt, or use the optional Zalo Mini App add-on (Vietnam), and it works with the POS you already use.
Mulah's strength is phone-number loyalty with SMS campaigns and campaign analysis, a familiar flow for Malaysian guests. Mulah does not show a price on its own site, so you need a quote. PEKO shows its price in ringgit and starts free.
What is Mulah? Phone-number loyalty with SMS campaigns and campaign analysis.
Choose PEKO if
- You want to see the price before a sales call: PEKO's ringgit prices are on its price cards.
- You want WhatsApp rather than SMS: PEKO drafts WhatsApp win-backs for approval.
- You want guests to earn from the receipt: PEKO reads it, so the cashier does not key in a number.
Choose Mulah if
- Your guests respond best to SMS: Mulah's campaigns are SMS-led.
- You want campaign analysis reports from the vendor: Mulah documents them.
- You prefer a quoted package: Mulah sells on quote, which can bundle setup and messaging.

Answer
Is Ocard worth it for Malaysian restaurants in 2026?
Ocard is worth it for Malaysian F&B chains that already run its POS-embedded loyalty, but independents should watch the day-60 trigger: that's when auto-renewal and per-outlet fees kick in and the price ladder stops looking cheap.
Comparator
PEKO vs Advocado
Advocado's strength in Malaysia is a full loyalty CRM: points, cashback, tiers and campaign tools, with guests joining by phone number and no cards or apps. Its Malaysia pricing page shows Pro at RM350 and RM370 per outlet a month. PEKO is the lower-cost layer for one outlet keeping its POS.
Comparator
PEKO vs Beep
Beep is StoreHub's direct-ordering channel: your own QR menu and delivery, bypassing GrabFood and foodpanda commissions. PEKO is the AI loyalty layer that turns Beep's order data into repeat visits, via WhatsApp, TNG eWallet, and DuitNow. They're complementary, not competing: Beep wins you the first direct order, PEKO wins you the second, fifth, twentieth.
