Leantime vs Tability
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Leantime and Tability — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Leantime vs Tability: at a glance
What is Leantime?
Leantime hardens its new permission engine through a rapid-fire auth patch cycle.
Leantime just shipped 3.9.0, a ground-up permission engine that replaced ad-hoc role checks with centralized, fail-closed authorization across every domain, landing alongside a JSON-RPC API layer and mobile push tokens. The 3.9.1 through 3.9.4 point releases that followed are almost entirely auth stabilization: Bearer and personal-access-token authentication broke under the new Sanctum guard and took four patches to fully settle. The project is mid-transition from a legacy PHP codebase to a modern Laravel, Blade, and JSON-RPC stack.
What is Tability?
Tability turns AI Mode from one-off prompts into a stateful, artifact-producing workspace assistant.
Tability is concentrating its build effort on AI Mode, its in-product assistant for OKR planning. Recent releases let AI Mode persist chat threads, generate downloadable artifacts like diagrams and presentations, and run the goal-generation flow. Alongside this, it is tightening workspace administration with bulk user actions and default API-access controls.
Leantime vs Tability: editorial side-by-side
Leantime
6.3PM
Leantime hardens its new permission engine through a rapid-fire auth patch cycle.
◆ Current state
Leantime just shipped 3.9.0, a ground-up permission engine that replaced ad-hoc role checks with centralized, fail-closed authorization across every domain, landing alongside a JSON-RPC API layer and mobile push tokens. The 3.9.1 through 3.9.4 point releases that followed are almost entirely auth stabilization: Bearer and personal-access-token authentication broke under the new Sanctum guard and took four patches to fully settle. The project is mid-transition from a legacy PHP codebase to a modern Laravel, Blade, and JSON-RPC stack.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a comprehensive backend re-architecture, with the permission engine, JSON-RPC API, completed Blade template unification, and experimental Postgres support all converging on a cleaner, API-first core. The recent burst of Bearer-auth fixes shows the team paying down the regressions the permission-engine rollout introduced rather than adding new surface. Mobile is the next frontier: the 3.8.0 TestFlight API groundwork and 3.9.0 push tokens point to a native app nearing release.
◆ Prediction
Expect the auth-fix cadence to slow as the Bearer regressions settle, with attention shifting toward the mobile app's public launch and broader JSON-RPC endpoint coverage.
Tability
5.0PM
Tability turns AI Mode from one-off prompts into a stateful, artifact-producing workspace assistant.
◆ Current state
Tability is concentrating its build effort on AI Mode, its in-product assistant for OKR planning. Recent releases let AI Mode persist chat threads, generate downloadable artifacts like diagrams and presentations, and run the goal-generation flow. Alongside this, it is tightening workspace administration with bulk user actions and default API-access controls.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is clear: AI Mode is moving from stateless, text-only replies toward saved threads and structured outputs you can keep and reuse. Paired with the admin and dashboard-widget work, Tability is positioning AI as a persistent layer over plan data rather than a novelty prompt box.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Mode to gain deeper plan-data grounding and more artifact types next, with continued admin controls to govern AI and API access in larger workspaces.
