What is Leantime?

Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.

Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

What is Workamajig?

Workamajig publishes buyer guides, not releases: every post argues agencies should drop general-purpose tools.

This feed contains no product releases. All ten entries are search-oriented category and comparison pages covering agency billing, accounting, project profitability, resource management, and client management software. The publishing cadence is steady, with three posts on 6 August alone, and several titles carry the Workamajig brand suffix typical of commercial landing content.

Leantime vs Workamajig: editorial side-by-side

L5.0

Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.

◆ Current state

Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

◆ Where it's heading

The release cadence is roughly one feature version every two weeks, split between finer access control and a plugin marketplace that carries more functionality. Core changes increasingly exist to give plugins stable hooks, as the calendar rework shows.

◆ Prediction

Expect more marketplace plugins built on the new calendar and permission hooks, and further permission work extending to the remaining modules.

W5.0

Workamajig publishes buyer guides, not releases: every post argues agencies should drop general-purpose tools.

◆ Current state

This feed contains no product releases. All ten entries are search-oriented category and comparison pages covering agency billing, accounting, project profitability, resource management, and client management software. The publishing cadence is steady, with three posts on 6 August alone, and several titles carry the Workamajig brand suffix typical of commercial landing content.

◆ Where it's heading

The argument is unusually consistent across posts: general-purpose finance and project tools keep financial data separate from project data, so agencies cannot see budgets or billable utilization in real time. Workamajig repeatedly names QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and Monday.com as the wrong answer and an integrated agency management system as the right one. This is category positioning against horizontal software rather than any observable change in what the product does.

◆ Prediction

The next entries will almost certainly be more comparison and category pages in the same agency-finance cluster. Nothing in this feed indicates a release cadence, so no prediction about the product itself is supportable from these entries.
