Ever Gauzy vs Rippling: at a glance
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy adds full payroll and leave management modules, integrates Ever Async workspaces — expanding from project tool to HR suite
v111.42.3 is a substantial release: it integrates tenant-owned Ever Async workspaces into Gauzy, ships a full payroll module (PayrollRun, PayrollItem entities with service layer), a full leave management module (time-off policies, official holidays, balance tracking), a redesigned HR dashboard, and the ability to switch a timesheet's project after creation. The MCP server fix in v111.42.5 makes tool input schemas JSON Schema compatible, enabling MCP tools/list to work correctly.
What is Rippling?
Rippling's tracked stream is marketing content and case studies, not release notes.
Almost the entire visible stream is Rippling's marketing site — listicles ('Best Global Payroll Providers in Australia 2026', 'Best HR Platforms US 2026'), customer case studies (Athena, Fluxx, Sequoia Riverlands), and section headers ('View HR articles', 'View IT articles'). One entry is the actual 'Rippling Rundown' December '25 release pointer.

Ever Gauzy adds full payroll and leave management modules, integrates Ever Async workspaces — expanding from project tool to HR suite
◆ Current state
v111.42.3 is a substantial release: it integrates tenant-owned Ever Async workspaces into Gauzy, ships a full payroll module (PayrollRun, PayrollItem entities with service layer), a full leave management module (time-off policies, official holidays, balance tracking), a redesigned HR dashboard, and the ability to switch a timesheet's project after creation. The MCP server fix in v111.42.5 makes tool input schemas JSON Schema compatible, enabling MCP tools/list to work correctly.
◆ Where it's heading
Ever Gauzy is systematically completing an HR suite on top of its project management foundation: payroll, leave management, and attendance tracking are now in place. The Ever Async workspace integration hints at a future where Gauzy manages the human side (time, pay, leave) while Ever Async handles real-time collaboration — a division of labor within the ever.co stack. The MCP server fix opens the platform to AI agent orchestration for HR data.
◆ Prediction
The MCP surface combined with the HR data model positions Gauzy for an 'AI HR assistant' feature — querying leave balances, approving timesheets, or generating payroll reports via an AI agent. Expect that surface to be announced once the MCP tool schemas stabilize.
Rippling
5.0HR
Rippling's tracked stream is marketing content and case studies, not release notes.
◆ Current state
Almost the entire visible stream is Rippling's marketing site — listicles ('Best Global Payroll Providers in Australia 2026', 'Best HR Platforms US 2026'), customer case studies (Athena, Fluxx, Sequoia Riverlands), and section headers ('View HR articles', 'View IT articles'). One entry is the actual 'Rippling Rundown' December '25 release pointer.
◆ Where it's heading
From this stream, no product trajectory can be inferred. The case studies hint at custom-app/automation patterns customers are building (license tracking, offboarding, cost calculators), but they're testimonials, not feature announcements. The Rippling Rundown link is the only pointer to an actual release.
◆ Prediction
No grounded prediction possible from this content. Once the source is repointed at Rippling Rundown release pages or the changelog proper, the picture will sharpen.
