Fintura vs InfoDocs
Looking for an InfoDocs alternative that goes further than company secretarial? Fintura and InfoDocs both connect directly to CIPC for annual returns, beneficial ownership and company secretarial work. The difference is scope. InfoDocs keeps company secretarial simple; Fintura runs your whole practice, from compliance and tax to tasks, time and billing.

The short answer
InfoDocs does company secretarial well: it files annual returns and beneficial ownership straight to CIPC, with lawyer-drafted templates and a free tier for low volume. It is built for business owners, not practices, so there is no practice management, tax or billing. Fintura covers all three.
Two very different tools
InfoDocs solves company secretarial admin well. Fintura is the operating system an accounting practice runs on.

Frequently asked questions.
Everything accounting firms ask before making the switch from InfoDocs.
InfoDocs is a well-liked company secretarial tool, built mainly for business owners keeping their own CIPC obligations in order. Fintura is a full practice platform for accounting firms: the same core CIPC compliance, plus practice management, task and deadline workflows, time tracking, billing and tax, all in one login. For accounting firms, that makes Fintura the natural InfoDocs alternative.
No, and that is not a criticism, it is simply a different scope. InfoDocs focuses on company secretarial work. It was not built to manage a team's workload, track billable time, run client onboarding or send engagement letters. Fintura brings those workflows and compliance together so a firm works from one place.
Both handle core CIPC services well. Fintura goes wider: 50+ compliance services including VAT registrations, Registered Representative registrations, Trusts beneficial ownership management and submissions, COIDA, UIF and a range of SARS and Department of Employment and Labour services. InfoDocs is focused on CIPC company secretarial work specifically.
Both price compliance per company. InfoDocs' Flexi plan starts from R649 per company per year and its Fixed plan from R2,300 per month, with a free pay-as-you-go tier for up to 10 companies. Fintura's Compliance module starts from R35 per company per month, with Practice Management and Tax priced separately, so a firm pays for exactly what each client needs.
Most firms are set up in a single session. Bulk CIPC import brings your whole portfolio in from the registry, and the 30-day free trial covers the full platform. Your own practice also gets Free Submit Access on Compliance, so you can run real filings before rolling it out to clients.
