This comparison uses prices from each provider's pricing pages, read on , plus ACRA's rules. SingaporeCompanySetupGuide.com is independent, has not used either service, and may receive a referral fee when a request goes to a provider. There is no ranking here.

Where is each one cheaper on paper?
Osome is lower at every entry point in the table: local by S$100, overseas by S$162 for the same 3-month nominee term, and the 12-month plan by S$228. The one item where Sleek is lower is payroll, by S$50 per employee a year. GST goes the other way for light use: Sleek's S$300 a quarter works out to S$1,200 a year, the same as Osome's yearly add-on.
Neither provider's price tells you your total. Add the extras you actually need, such as GST, payroll and Xero (S$840 per financial year on Sleek's lower plans), before you compare.
Which one includes more?
Sleek's local Full Compliance includes a registered address and a digital mailroom, and its overseas plans include the address from the start. Osome's overseas Starter includes the address for one year and states no nominee deposit. Osome includes unlimited bookkeeping on its accounting plans, and Sleek splits bookkeeping by yearly, monthly or weekly cadence by plan.
For secretary changes, shareholder counts matter. Osome's own guide says its Unlimited plan covers up to 50 shareholders for S$600 a year, while Sleek's price rises in steps at 9 and then 10 shareholders.
What should foreigners check?
ACRA says foreigners must use a corporate service provider to reserve a name and register, and that every business needs a local resident. Both providers cover that with a nominee director for a fixed term. After the term, you need a renewal or a resident director of your own, which is cheaper once you hold a pass that qualifies. See the best incorporation services for foreigners and nominee directors.
What did we not compare?
- Support speed and quality. We have not tested either service.
- Renewal pricing after year one.
- Bank account approvals. Sleek marks its free account "subject to approval", and Osome says approval is the bank's decision.
- Customer feedback. Read the individual Sleek review page and Osome review page for how to weigh it.
What if neither fits?
Other providers publish fees too. The Sleek alternatives and Osome alternatives pages list several with the prices we read.
