My Hours vs Nifty
A side-by-side editorial comparison of My Hours and Nifty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
My Hours vs Nifty: 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 Nifty?
Nifty rebuilt its mobile apps and shipped capacity planning while its API moved to v3.
Three releases in four weeks changed different layers. September 14 opened API v3 with a developer portal and OAuth 2.1, and set a September 1, 2027 sunset for v1. September 28 added Capacity Planner, which turns estimates, working hours and time off into visible capacity on Calendar and Workloads. October 12 rebuilt the iOS and Android apps on a new architecture, and Nifty reports the work behind spinners and long waits fell by about 95%.
My Hours vs Nifty: editorial side-by-side
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.
Nifty
2.5PM
Nifty rebuilt its mobile apps and shipped capacity planning while its API moved to v3.
◆ Current state
Three releases in four weeks changed different layers. September 14 opened API v3 with a developer portal and OAuth 2.1, and set a September 1, 2027 sunset for v1. September 28 added Capacity Planner, which turns estimates, working hours and time off into visible capacity on Calendar and Workloads. October 12 rebuilt the iOS and Android apps on a new architecture, and Nifty reports the work behind spinners and long waits fell by about 95%.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server made Nifty an agent surface in July, and the autumn releases extend beyond it: a public API for integrators, a planning model built on real availability, and a mobile foundation Nifty says will let it ship faster. Agent work continues alongside, with full-thread context for assistants and explicit notice when content is trimmed.
◆ Prediction
The October notes list a new rich text editor and AI agent hand-off notes as coming next, and September's named Forms support for MCP and improved invites. Those are the likely next items.
