Hive vs My Hours
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hive and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hive vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Hive?
Hive is building the plumbing its Buzz AI snippets need to run on real team data
Hive is project management software publishing short, well-structured changelog entries — each tagged New or Improved, with a 'Who it helps' line naming the affected role. The recent run splits between conventional project work (pinned comments on action cards, a configurable Roadmap display on the timeline, calendar overlays for Google and Outlook meetings, capacity context beside resourcing estimates) and the Buzz AI snippet system, which has been gaining shared OAuth connections and now a simpler default view for its runs.
What is My Hours?
My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.

Hive is building the plumbing its Buzz AI snippets need to run on real team data
◆ Current state
Hive is project management software publishing short, well-structured changelog entries — each tagged New or Improved, with a 'Who it helps' line naming the affected role. The recent run splits between conventional project work (pinned comments on action cards, a configurable Roadmap display on the timeline, calendar overlays for Google and Outlook meetings, capacity context beside resourcing estimates) and the Buzz AI snippet system, which has been gaining shared OAuth connections and now a simpler default view for its runs.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI work is being built from the infrastructure inward rather than from the demo outward. Shared OAuth connections came first — credentials created once in Hive AI Connections and reusable across snippets without exposing tokens — which is the prerequisite for snippets touching a team's real Google or Microsoft accounts. The run visualisation now defaults to a simple flow graph with the step-by-step state chart behind an Advanced toggle, which is what a feature looks like once people are reviewing runs routinely rather than debugging them.
◆ Prediction
Connections are shared and runs are now readable at a glance, so the missing piece is control over who may run what against a shared connection; expect permissions on snippets to follow, since the OAuth work already introduced the idea of authorized workspace users.

My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
◆ Current state
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is thickening around reporting and billing rather than time capture itself, which is already solved. Recent releases consistently connect two existing surfaces — invoice to report, budget to dashboard — instead of adding standalone features.
◆ Prediction
Expect attendance and budget data to converge into a single manager view, since both now exist as reports but are read separately.
