Miter vs Wagepoint: at a glance
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.
What is Wagepoint?
Wagepoint's changelog is employer education content — no product releases visible, but Wagepoint 2.0 migration is active.
All recent Wagepoint changelog entries are employer and accountant education blog posts: Canadian payroll deduction guides, ROE explainers, value pricing for accounting firms, and Wagepoint 2.0 migration testimonials. No product feature releases appear. The Wagepoint 2.0 migration testimonials ('the best five minutes of my life') indicate a major platform transition is in active rollout for existing customers.

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.
Wagepoint's changelog is employer education content — no product releases visible, but Wagepoint 2.0 migration is active.
◆ Current state
All recent Wagepoint changelog entries are employer and accountant education blog posts: Canadian payroll deduction guides, ROE explainers, value pricing for accounting firms, and Wagepoint 2.0 migration testimonials. No product feature releases appear. The Wagepoint 2.0 migration testimonials ('the best five minutes of my life') indicate a major platform transition is in active rollout for existing customers.
◆ Where it's heading
Without product release data, trajectory assessment is limited. The Wagepoint 2.0 content pattern and the accounting firm positioning articles suggest product engineering focus is on migration tooling and partner-channel features for bookkeepers and accountants — who represent a key distribution channel for the Canadian payroll market.
◆ Prediction
Cannot assess next product moves from content data. The 2.0 migration content suggests the engineering team is actively supporting the rollout of a platform rearchitecture, with accountant-channel features likely prioritized based on the content mix.
