What is Ganttic?
Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.
Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.
What is Hostaway?
Hostaway is pushing past bookings into the paperwork hosts actually dread.
July's output clusters around three areas. The AI CoHost assistant got a month of accuracy work — it now reads per-booking fees, commissions and taxes, and infers guest origin from the reservation or phone number while flagging the guess. The direct-booking website gained a two-step checkout with alternative payment methods, 3D Secure on Pay Now charges and an instant calendar block. And a new per-reservation billing-details page collects guests' legal name, address and Tax ID to drive invoicing, including e-invoices in Spain and Italy.
Ganttic vs Hostaway: editorial side-by-side
Ganttic
5.0PM
Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.
◆ Current state
Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.
◆ Where it's heading
The observable product thread is incremental polish: better mobile planning, more granular audit/history logging, and clearer views. The blog and case studies (ports, labs, construction) signal a push toward operations-heavy, equipment-and-people scheduling verticals. Expect continued usability and transparency refinements rather than category-redefining moves.
◆ Prediction
The next releases likely continue the mobile and history-log line and lean further into resource-heavy verticals. The blog's AI-resource-management posts hint at AI features, but no shipped AI capability is visible yet.
Hostaway
6.3PM
Hostaway is pushing past bookings into the paperwork hosts actually dread.
◆ Current state
July's output clusters around three areas. The AI CoHost assistant got a month of accuracy work — it now reads per-booking fees, commissions and taxes, and infers guest origin from the reservation or phone number while flagging the guess. The direct-booking website gained a two-step checkout with alternative payment methods, 3D Secure on Pay Now charges and an instant calendar block. And a new per-reservation billing-details page collects guests' legal name, address and Tax ID to drive invoicing, including e-invoices in Spain and Italy.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is Hostaway taking on the parts of property management that sit either side of the stay: money in, documents out. Checkout is being rebuilt to convert like an OTA while collecting like a merchant, and invoicing is being rebuilt to satisfy tax authorities rather than just produce a PDF. Around that core, the work is capacity and reach — multi-unit listings raised from 150 to 254, notifications localized across six languages, Airbnb-specific discounts with bulk editing, and richer cancellation and no-show data on the Public API. The AI assistant is being deepened against existing reservation data, not extended into new autonomy.
◆ Prediction
France is already named as the next e-invoicing market, so expect the billing-details page to expand country by country with field sets adapting per jurisdiction, and CoHost to keep absorbing financial questions now that it can read fees and commissions.
