Ashby
Ashby keeps extending conditional forms and closes small gaps in interview scheduling.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Keka and Leapsome — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Keka's feed has turned to US payroll and benefits explainers, still with no changelog
Keka's feed is now a steady run of US payroll and benefits explainers. November 3 brought seven guides, and November 5 added four more on Form 940 and FUTA, mileage reimbursement, 401(k) versus 403(b) plans and ERISA. None of it describes a product change.
Leapsome's feed keeps filling with hiring guides, not release notes.
The tracked feed for Leapsome is its marketing blog, not release notes. On November 9 it published a batch of guides at the same minute: training tracking software, floating holidays, succession planning, severance agreements, talent acquisition, team performance, payroll journal entries and co-employment. None describes a product change.

The switch from Indian to US compliance topics in one batch suggests Keka is building search presence for the US market. The feed remains marketing content, so it says little about the product itself.
Expect more US HR and payroll guides; the entries give no signal about product releases.

On November 9 it published a batch of guides at the same minute: training tracking software, floating holidays, succession planning, severance agreements, talent acquisition, team performance, payroll journal entries and co-employment. None describes a product change.
The content has shifted toward recruiting topics, but the feed still carries no product signal. Publish dates cluster in batches, so they say little about release activity.
The entries do not show the next product move; more batches of HR guides are the only visible pattern.
