What is Moov?
Moov's issuing and invoicing APIs fill out as platforms take over more of the payments work.
Moov ships on a versioned API train, with v2026.10.00 still in development. Since September it has added self-serve fixes for ACH authorization errors, a taxable flag in the product catalog, a spending card activity endpoint, invoice reminders and custom invoice numbers, and issuing simulation endpoints for test mode. The summer added FedNow, payout fees and fee plan reassignment.
What is Purchasely?
Purchasely puts its Management API in the terminal and in AI coding agents
Purchasely is an SDK and console for in-app subscriptions and paywalls. Version 6.2 in October let apps send their own business events to trigger campaigns and linked every purchase to the paywall, placement and test that drove it. On November 5 it released a CLI in beta that exposes every Management API operation as a command, shows app metrics in the terminal, and installs a Purchasely plugin into AI coding agents, with dry runs, plan-then-apply and a read-only mode for safe writes.

Moov
5.0FINANCE
Moov's issuing and invoicing APIs fill out as platforms take over more of the payments work.
◆ Current state
Moov ships on a versioned API train, with v2026.10.00 still in development. Since September it has added self-serve fixes for ACH authorization errors, a taxable flag in the product catalog, a spending card activity endpoint, invoice reminders and custom invoice numbers, and issuing simulation endpoints for test mode. The summer added FedNow, payout fees and fee plan reassignment.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is self-service for platforms that embed payments: fixing ACH errors without support, running card issuing in test mode, sending invoice reminders automatically. Fee mechanics still matter, but recent releases have widened issuing and invoicing. The API usually gets each capability first, with the Dashboard following.
◆ Prediction
Expect v2026.10.00 to leave development with the ACH self-serve and isTaxable changes, and the Dashboard to pick up more issuing views. The entries give no date for that release.

Purchasely puts its Management API in the terminal and in AI coding agents
◆ Current state
Purchasely is an SDK and console for in-app subscriptions and paywalls. Version 6.2 in October let apps send their own business events to trigger campaigns and linked every purchase to the paywall, placement and test that drove it. On November 5 it released a CLI in beta that exposes every Management API operation as a command, shows app metrics in the terminal, and installs a Purchasely plugin into AI coding agents, with dry runs, plan-then-apply and a read-only mode for safe writes.
◆ Where it's heading
The SDK releases have steadily moved control of paywalls and campaigns out of app code and into the Console. The CLI moves it again, into scripts, CI and coding agents, with guardrails designed for automated writes.
◆ Prediction
The CLI needs Management API access enabled by Purchasely staff, so the next likely step is broader self-serve access, or more agent-facing tooling built on the same API.
