What is Bigcapital?
Bigcapital ships multiple releases per week, adding SMS notifications, banking audit logs, and Plaid hardening.
Bigcapital is an open-source cloud accounting product shipping at a high cadence — multiple tagged releases per week across server, webapp, and SDK layers. The last two weeks show a focused push on banking features: Plaid sync hardening, audit logs for banking modules, auto-recognition of bank transactions via queue, and a landed cost feature flag. SMS notifications are being wired in behind a feature flag, alongside a broad internal refactor from snake_case to camelCase API responses.
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.

Bigcapital
5.0FINANCE
Bigcapital ships multiple releases per week, adding SMS notifications, banking audit logs, and Plaid hardening.
◆ Current state
Bigcapital is an open-source cloud accounting product shipping at a high cadence — multiple tagged releases per week across server, webapp, and SDK layers. The last two weeks show a focused push on banking features: Plaid sync hardening, audit logs for banking modules, auto-recognition of bank transactions via queue, and a landed cost feature flag. SMS notifications are being wired in behind a feature flag, alongside a broad internal refactor from snake_case to camelCase API responses.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is deepening its banking and financial operations surface. Plaid integration is getting production-grade attention (concurrent-run guards, proper disconnect handling, audit trails), and landed cost accounting signals a move toward more complex inventory and purchasing workflows. The API SDK with typed OpenAPI coverage is being built in parallel, suggesting a platform push toward integrations and potentially a public API offering.
◆ Prediction
SMS notifications and the typed SDK will likely ship out of feature-flag status as the next named releases. Landed cost, once out of flag, will be the headline capability for users with inventory and import workflows.
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.
