A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and IceHrm — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy follows its OIDC release with billing race and privacy fixes.
Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day. 111.144.0 on October 31 added OpenID Connect sign-in, deals by stage and leave balances tied to approval, and started new organizations with screen capture off. The tags since then fix subscription billing races, keep account deletion requests out of export archives and restrict email links to allowed origins; the rest are spell-check, CI and dependency updates.
IceHrm 36 rebuilds the interface, adds dark mode, and updates itself from the dashboard.
IceHrm had been releasing about once a year, and the March 2026 release rebuilt travel management. Version 36.0.0 on September 14 is the largest change in years: a single-page interface grouped into People, Time and Work, Leave and Pay, global module search, dark mode, phone layouts, and an updater that installs new versions from the dashboard with a backup and rollback. 36.0.1 on October 1 fixed a stored XSS and an unauthenticated include in update.php.

Feature batches are followed by days of hardening, with billing integrity and data privacy getting the most attention. The tag count overstates the amount of product change.
Expect another feature batch within a week or two followed by more small fix tags; the next feature area is unclear.

The product is modernizing its interface and maintenance model together, so admins no longer need a terminal to upgrade. The quick security patch and new SECURITY.md suggest more frequent releases than the old yearly pace.
Expect further 36.x patches delivered through the in-app updater; which module gets rebuilt next is unclear.
