Miter
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Factorial HR — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy 111.144.0 adds OIDC sign-in and starts new organizations with screen capture off.
Ever Gauzy closed October 31 with 111.144.0, a batch that merged 29 reviewed PRs after six small tags that day. It adds sign-in through any OpenID Connect provider, operator switches that close registration, a deals board by stage, and leave balances that are deducted on approval and restored on denial. New organizations now start with screen capture off, and turning it on for EEA/UK organizations requires an acknowledgement. The subscription tags before it made plan changes signed, single-transaction and recoverable.
Factorial's API ships quarterly versions, and added an MCP server and SDKs this summer.
Factorial's developer changelog follows dated API versions: 2026-04-01, 2026-07-01 and 2026-10-01 have shipped, and 2027-01-01 release notes are already posted. In July it added an MCP server and official TypeScript and Python SDKs with a skill for AI coding agents. The version entries carry no detail in this feed.

Two release rhythms now run side by side: narrow tags for each billing fix, and a large triage batch that clears reviewed PRs and older issues in one go. The batch leans toward operators running their own deployment, with Caddy and DigitalOcean templates, a dev container, opt-in database creation and an egress audit of Ever addresses. Permissions are also getting finer, with contact create and delete split and contact notes gated by contact permissions.
Expect follow-up patch tags on the batch's newest paths, especially OIDC sign-in, leave balances and contact notes, since the batch itself carried several review follow-ups. Subscription edge-case tags should continue alongside them.

The API is on a predictable quarterly release train with notes published a quarter ahead, which suits integrators planning upgrades. The July MCP server and agent skill show Factorial treating AI assistants and coding agents as API consumers alongside classic integrations.
The 2027-01-01 API version is the next likely release, around the start of January, given the posted notes and quarterly pattern.
