Grocy vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Grocy?
Grocy 4.7 reorganizes authentication middleware and ships accent-insensitive search across the product.
Grocy 4.7 is the most actively maintained version in over a year, with 4.7.0 shipping a breaking authentication middleware reorganization and 4.7.1 following quickly with bug fixes and a new product copy API endpoint. Earlier in 2026, 4.6.0 dropped support for PHP below 8.5 and improved quantity unit handling — the first time the project has enforced a PHP version floor in some time.
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
Grocy vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
Grocy
5.0PM
Grocy 4.7 reorganizes authentication middleware and ships accent-insensitive search across the product.
◆ Current state
Grocy 4.7 is the most actively maintained version in over a year, with 4.7.0 shipping a breaking authentication middleware reorganization and 4.7.1 following quickly with bug fixes and a new product copy API endpoint. Earlier in 2026, 4.6.0 dropped support for PHP below 8.5 and improved quantity unit handling — the first time the project has enforced a PHP version floor in some time.
◆ Where it's heading
Grocy is maturing as a self-hosted household management platform with deliberate but slow progress. The PHP 8.5 mandate signals the team is willing to break older environments to simplify the codebase. Authentication improvements suggest growing attention to multi-user scenarios beyond the original single-household use case.
◆ Prediction
Given the cadence — roughly two feature releases per year — the next version will likely improve the mobile experience or expand API coverage for integrations, as those are the most common community asks not yet addressed.
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
