Ashby
Ashby is layering agents and conversational reporting onto a steady run of recruiter-workflow fixes.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Frappe HR — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy ships a patch release per PR, fixing email verification and scoping billing to each deployment.
Ever Gauzy auto-publishes a release for every merged PR, so versioning is high-frequency and granular. The latest batch fixes end-to-end email verification and registration dead-ends, scopes Stripe billing to each deployment's product, polishes task-detail and accounting screens, and adds tenant-isolation tests.
Frappe HR is pushing payroll toward accountant-grade bookkeeping, one release a week.
Frappe HR ships on three maintained lines (v14, v15, v16) at a weekly pace, and nearly all feature work lands on v16. Recent v16 releases added employer-contribution liability accounting with separate journal entries, three payslip layouts, a Partially Paid expense-claim status, and a one-click path from accepted job applicant to employee record. Backport releases on v15 and v14 carry fixes, mostly for permissions and attendance.

Recent work concentrates on the commercial basics of a multi-tenant SaaS: authentication flow, billing isolation, tenant guards. Combined with UI polish on task and accounting screens, it looks like preparation for broader hosted use rather than new modules.
Expect continued single-fix releases around billing, auth and tenant isolation. No larger feature launch is visible in these entries.

Backport releases on v15 and v14 carry fixes, mostly for permissions and attendance.
The feature thread runs through payroll and expense accounting: employer contributions, liability accounts, per-employee payables and loan repayment on payslips show a push to make HR records reconcile cleanly with the general ledger. A second thread is access control: file permissions, POST-only mutations and restricted goal updates show steady security tightening across all lines.
Expect further v16 payroll-accounting features, such as more contribution types or ledger reports, alongside continued permission hardening backported to v15.
