Keka vs Miter: at a glance
What is Keka?
Keka's feed is India payroll and tax explainers, not a product changelog
Keka's recent posts are HR and payroll explainers for Indian businesses: what payroll is, Form 27Q, LPA salary, allowances, payroll providers, and the EPFO's rise in the PF wage ceiling from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000. One essay on junior hiring breaks the pattern. It is evergreen search content positioning Keka's product, with no changelog present.
What is Miter?
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

◆ Current state
Keka's recent posts are HR and payroll explainers for Indian businesses: what payroll is, Form 27Q, LPA salary, allowances, payroll providers, and the EPFO's rise in the PF wage ceiling from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000. One essay on junior hiring breaks the pattern. It is evergreen search content positioning Keka's product, with no changelog present.
◆ Where it's heading
The content has moved from general lifecycle checklists and U.S. compliance guides toward Indian payroll and tax, where the regulatory detail gives steady reasons to publish. The observable signal is editorial focus, not product shipping.
◆ Prediction
Expect more India payroll and compliance explainers, particularly when rules change. Product changes will not surface in this feed.
Miter
2.5HR
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
◆ Current state
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.
◆ Where it's heading
The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.
