Ever Gauzy vs HiBob: at a glance
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy ships many builds a day, hardening security and folding in a Plane PM integration
Ever Gauzy, an open-source ERP/HR and time-tracking suite, is releasing at an extreme cadence — several versions (109.x through 111.x) on a single day. The substantive threads are a breaking JWT change that now embeds organizationId, a string of security fixes (JWT-secret injection, GitHub App state nonce, CORP hardening), and ongoing integration of Plane (project management) with SSO and email. Much of the rest is CI/Electron build plumbing.
What is HiBob?
HiBob is methodically turning Bob into a programmable system of record for HR.
HiBob is in a sustained API-expansion phase, opening nearly every part of Bob — hiring, attendance, time off, goals, learning, and employee data — to programmatic access. Recent releases add full-lifecycle attendance management, new hiring endpoints, and an OAuth-based MCP server for connecting AI tools. The consistent goal is to make Bob the authoritative, integrable HR data layer.

Ever Gauzy ships many builds a day, hardening security and folding in a Plane PM integration
◆ Current state
Ever Gauzy, an open-source ERP/HR and time-tracking suite, is releasing at an extreme cadence — several versions (109.x through 111.x) on a single day. The substantive threads are a breaking JWT change that now embeds organizationId, a string of security fixes (JWT-secret injection, GitHub App state nonce, CORP hardening), and ongoing integration of Plane (project management) with SSO and email. Much of the rest is CI/Electron build plumbing.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions stand out: a move toward stronger multi-organization architecture (org-scoped JWTs) and security hardening across deploys, and an expansion of scope by absorbing Plane as a PM module. Together they point at Gauzy consolidating into a broader, multi-tenant business suite.
◆ Prediction
Expect the rapid release train to continue, with further Plane integration depth and security follow-ups. Clients should prepare for the new org-scoped token structure as it propagates through the 111.x line.
HiBob
5.0HR
HiBob is methodically turning Bob into a programmable system of record for HR.
◆ Current state
HiBob is in a sustained API-expansion phase, opening nearly every part of Bob — hiring, attendance, time off, goals, learning, and employee data — to programmatic access. Recent releases add full-lifecycle attendance management, new hiring endpoints, and an OAuth-based MCP server for connecting AI tools. The consistent goal is to make Bob the authoritative, integrable HR data layer.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is developer- and integration-first: each release either fills an API gap or hardens access controls, and the newer MCP and field-level-permission work points toward secure AI-agent access to HR data. HiBob is building the plumbing for Bob to sit at the center of a customer's HR tech stack rather than as an endpoint. The surface is likely to keep widening endpoint by endpoint.
◆ Prediction
The OAuth MCP server and field-level permissions suggest a more secure, agent-ready API surface is coming next, likely extending MCP tool coverage across the same domains the Public API already spans.
