Productboard vs Super Productivity
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Productboard and Super Productivity — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Productboard vs Super Productivity: at a glance
What is Productboard?
Productboard's v2 documents API now keeps plain web addresses and emoji as ordinary text.
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types a workspace-specific string. October added field values on relationships, exact-match text search and 308 redirects for merged entities. On November 5 the documents content endpoints changed how they treat bare URLs, email addresses and emoji: they now stay plain text unless written with explicit link syntax.
What is Super Productivity?
Super Productivity's feed shows a docs commit, not a release, since August.
The last tagged release is v18.21.2 in late August, which repaired legacy data migration and sync privacy after the 18.21 device-list and live-presence work. The newest entry is a branch tag on a docs commit recording known capture gaps for repeat tasks and time blocks, not a release.

On November 5 the documents content endpoints changed how they treat bare URLs, email addresses and emoji: they now stay plain text unless written with explicit link syntax.
◆ Where it's heading
The v2 API is being tightened release by release so integrations can round-trip data without surprises. The documents format is the latest surface to get exact, documented rules.
◆ Prediction
Expect further dated v2 entries that fill in document and entity edge cases; nothing in the entries points to a larger change soon.

◆ Where it's heading
The 18.x line built SuperSync into an account surface with device management and encrypted-only uploads, then paused for repair. The docs commit suggests work on task capture is underway, but nothing has shipped in the feed since.
◆ Prediction
The next release likely addresses repeat-task and time-block capture, given the recorded gaps; the feed shows no date.
