Frappe HR vs Miter: at a glance
What is Frappe HR?
Frappe HR spends October tightening permissions and payroll edge cases on both v15 and v16.
Frappe HR is in a hardening phase. v16.52.0 lets regional payroll rules add employer contributions to salary slips after structure contributions, and fixes a run of permission errors in expense claims, check-ins, holidays and tax declarations. The v15 line gets matching access checks and a fix for mobile check-outs recorded as check-ins.
What is Miter?
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.
Frappe HR vs Miter: editorial side-by-side
Frappe HR spends October tightening permissions and payroll edge cases on both v15 and v16.
◆ Current state
Frappe HR is in a hardening phase. v16.52.0 lets regional payroll rules add employer contributions to salary slips after structure contributions, and fixes a run of permission errors in expense claims, check-ins, holidays and tax declarations. The v15 line gets matching access checks and a fix for mobile check-outs recorded as check-ins.
◆ Where it's heading
After guided setup for HR-only sites in 16.50, the releases since have been payroll accuracy and permission fixes, with v15 backports following v16 within days. The new regional employer-contribution hook suggests localized payroll is the next feature area.
◆ Prediction
Expect more country-specific payroll rules built on the new employer-contribution hook, alongside continued v15 backports.
Miter
3.8HR
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
◆ Current state
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.
◆ Where it's heading
The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.
