What is Moov?

Moov keeps absorbing the payments plumbing its customers would otherwise build themselves.

Moov is shipping on a steady quarterly API cadence with monthly increments in between, and the recent run has been about rail coverage and merchant-facing control. FedNow support arrived through the instant-bank-credit method with automatic network selection between FedNow and RTP, Google Pay landed earlier for both acceptance and payouts, and surcharging went from launch to test-mode card coverage. The embedding surface has been widening too — resumable onboarding Drops, custom Dashboard roles, fee plan disclosure, user-defined amounts on payment links.

What is PayFit?

Payroll platform's developer changelog has slowed from monthly in 2024 to three releases across all of 2025.

PayFit is a payroll and HR platform with deep France and UK coverage. The developer-facing changelog ran monthly through 2024 but slowed to three releases in 2025 — workingTimeModality and exemption fields on French contract endpoints (December), retroactive 24-month accountingV2 document generation (August), and absence status filtering (June). 2024 entries fill the rest of the recent window.

6.3

Moov keeps absorbing the payments plumbing its customers would otherwise build themselves.

◆ Current state

Moov is shipping on a steady quarterly API cadence with monthly increments in between, and the recent run has been about rail coverage and merchant-facing control. FedNow support arrived through the instant-bank-credit method with automatic network selection between FedNow and RTP, Google Pay landed earlier for both acceptance and payouts, and surcharging went from launch to test-mode card coverage. The embedding surface has been widening too — resumable onboarding Drops, custom Dashboard roles, fee plan disclosure, user-defined amounts on payment links.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is consistent: take a decision a platform customer would otherwise have to make and make it Moov's problem. Network selection, surcharge regulatory caps, tipping presets, account connection scoping all follow that shape. Versioning discipline is a visible part of the story, with in-development versions previewed and deprecations announced ahead of the stable cut, which matters for a product whose customers embed it rather than integrate once.

◆ Prediction

Expect the v2026.10.00 cycle to firm up around the in-development changes now surfacing in previews, with the same pattern of a preview period before the stable release rather than a single large cut.

Payroll platform's developer changelog has slowed from monthly in 2024 to three releases across all of 2025.

◆ Current state

PayFit is a payroll and HR platform with deep France and UK coverage. The developer-facing changelog ran monthly through 2024 but slowed to three releases in 2025 — workingTimeModality and exemption fields on French contract endpoints (December), retroactive 24-month accountingV2 document generation (August), and absence status filtering (June). 2024 entries fill the rest of the recent window.

◆ Where it's heading

The public developer changelog has clearly deprioritized. The 2025 entries are field additions and existing-endpoint improvements rather than new product surfaces. PayFit may be making fewer partner-facing changes, or simply moving partner communication off the public changelog.

◆ Prediction

Without more recent data the safe bet is continued slow cadence on the developer changelog with primarily incremental field additions. A return to monthly cadence would be the early signal that PayFit is reinvesting in the partner ecosystem.
