What is Pleo?
Pleo's tracked feed is its Developer Portal — heavy on OAuth, API keys and ERP-integration docs, not product features.
The tracked feed for Pleo is the Developer Portal changelog rather than the user-facing product changelog. Recent entries are dense docs work: OAuth 2.0 setup guides, standalone vs integrated API keys, a new AS/ERP integration section covering the full Export workflow, expense subtype additions, and Export API v3 multi-currency support. End-user product changes (cards, expenses, approvals, vendor pay) do not show up in this window.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

Pleo's tracked feed is its Developer Portal — heavy on OAuth, API keys and ERP-integration docs, not product features.
◆ Current state
The tracked feed for Pleo is the Developer Portal changelog rather than the user-facing product changelog. Recent entries are dense docs work: OAuth 2.0 setup guides, standalone vs integrated API keys, a new AS/ERP integration section covering the full Export workflow, expense subtype additions, and Export API v3 multi-currency support. End-user product changes (cards, expenses, approvals, vendor pay) do not show up in this window.
◆ Where it's heading
From the docs cadence alone, Pleo is investing heavily in making third-party integrations easier — both OAuth onboarding for partners and ERP-side export wiring. The pattern is build the integration story, then document each piece end-to-end. There is also light API-evolution activity (Chart of Accounts code → codes deprecation, Export API v3) that signals ongoing platform maturation.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Developer Portal to keep filling out around AS/ERP integrations and OAuth flows, with more troubleshooting and how-to guides landing through Q2. To judge real product trajectory (vendor pay, AI bookkeeping, employee expense flows) we would need to track a different feed — the user-facing release notes — which is not currently captured.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
