Hive
Hive is turning Workflows from task automation into full project-lifecycle orchestration.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of RentRedi and Plane — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
RentRedi keeps deepening landlord accounting — per-unit money, P&L, and reporting.
RentRedi's recent releases cluster around financial granularity: profit-and-loss broken out by unit, payment accounts set per unit to handle separate LLCs and owners, global default accounts for new properties, and itemized income/expense reports. Tenant-facing touches like profile photos and Zillow itemized fees round out the edges.
Plane hardens for enterprise while opening an MCP app surface
Plane is pushing on two fronts at once: enterprise readiness (a redesigned permissions system with custom roles and granular access control) and an expanding data and automation surface (PQL queries in dashboards, editing pages from Plane AI, and now publishing MCP applications from Plane itself). Epics have graduated to a first-class work item type.

Tenant-facing touches like profile photos and Zillow itemized fees round out the edges.
The arc is a property-management app maturing into a property-accounting platform. Successive releases keep pushing money handling down to the unit level and surfacing it through reporting, which is where multi-property landlords feel the most pain.
Expect more accounting depth — likely owner statements, tax-ready exports, or accounting-software sync — building on the per-unit financial structure now in place.

The open-source project-management tool is climbing upmarket toward enterprise buyers while wiring itself into the agent ecosystem. Direction points to deeper access controls and more programmable, queryable, AI- and MCP-driven surfaces layered over the core work-tracking model.
Expect continued enterprise access-control depth (audit, SSO/SCIM-adjacent controls) and more MCP- and AI-driven automation, plus richer dashboard querying built on PQL.
