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 Zluri?
Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.

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.
Zluri
7.5FINANCE
Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
◆ Current state
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from SaaS discovery and spend toward the IGA territory of policy, certification, and remediation. Each release either adds a governance control or makes the underlying identity data more trustworthy. The Workflows v2 canvas, SoD detection and source prioritization all support automated, auditable access decisions.
◆ Prediction
SoD and Workflows v2 are likely to move from early access and beta to general availability. Expect deeper links between them, such as SoD violations triggering canvas playbooks directly.
