Frappe HR
Frappe HR spends October tightening permissions and payroll edge cases on both v15 and v16.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Gauzy and Fingercheck — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Gauzy follows account deletion with nine same-day patches carrying project archiving.
Ever Gauzy shipped 111.142.0 on October 28 with self-serve account deletion and telemetry redaction, then cut nine patch tags the same day. The substantive ones carry archive and unarchive for projects and teams, per-task sync scope that keeps tasks private to the platform, a redesigned project dashboard and proposal details, and email links restricted to allowed origins. The rest are egress-audit baselines and Plane plugin bumps adding status-less projects and employee subscriptions.
Fingercheck's product page is sparse — small SMB payroll wins and a quiet 10 months since the last named release.
Fingercheck's tracked feed is dominated by duplicates and feed-index pages. The two real moves in the last year are employee self-service for missed punches (July 2025) and a New York pay-rate compliance form helper (July 2025). Both serve the SMB payroll/time-tracking customer directly — one shifts admin off managers, the other reduces compliance risk for a single regulated state.

The product is shipping in waves: a large stage merge, then a string of small tags that move it to production. Two threads run through October: tidying the project and task model (archiving, sync scope, a Plane integration) and privacy and compliance work (account deletion, egress audits, DPIA links).
Expect more Plane plugin bumps and UI redesigns from the same contributors, plus further egress-audit and compliance tags as account deletion settles in production.

The cadence is slow and the moves are SMB-pragmatic: small workflow time-savers and state-by-state compliance fixes. There's no AI or platform-architecture story visible in this feed — Fingercheck is operating like a steady SMB tool rather than a company chasing the agentic-HR narrative its larger competitors (Rippling, Gusto, ADP) are leaning into.
Likely next moves are more state-specific compliance helpers (California, New Jersey wage-rule territory) and continued self-service workflows for time and PTO. An AI-assistant addition is plausible but not signaled by anything in the visible feed.
