My Hours vs Resource Guru
A side-by-side editorial comparison of My Hours and Resource Guru — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
My Hours vs Resource Guru: at a glance
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
What is Resource Guru?
Resource Guru is turning the schedule from a canvas you arrange into a system that resolves itself.
The feed mixes SEO articles with genuine product notes, and the product notes have been unusually consequential this quarter. Total Hours bookings let a user commit a number of hours across a date range and have the scheduler fit them around existing work. An MCP server exposes account data to AI clients through plain-language prompts. Around those, a run of smaller controls landed: custom-field colour coding on the Schedule, a configurable Projects view, a daily digest of placeholder bookings, and a Trello integration.

My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.

◆ Current state
The feed mixes SEO articles with genuine product notes, and the product notes have been unusually consequential this quarter. Total Hours bookings let a user commit a number of hours across a date range and have the scheduler fit them around existing work. An MCP server exposes account data to AI clients through plain-language prompts. Around those, a run of smaller controls landed: custom-field colour coding on the Schedule, a configurable Projects view, a daily digest of placeholder bookings, and a Trello integration.
◆ Where it's heading
Two moves define the direction. Total Hours changes what a booking is — an amount of work to be placed rather than a block a human placed — which points the product at constraint solving rather than manual arrangement. The MCP server makes the same schedule queryable by assistants instead of only viewable in the UI. The smaller features are consistent with both: placeholders, custom fields, and colour rules are all ways of encoding intent that a solver or an assistant can act on.
◆ Prediction
Expect the auto-fitting behaviour introduced by Total Hours to extend to placeholders and to rescheduling after a conflict, since those are the cases where a declared total is most obviously better than a fixed block.
