Clarizen vs My Hours
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Clarizen and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Clarizen vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Clarizen?
Planview AdaptiveWork (formerly Clarizen) shows version timeline 2026.02→2026.03, but the visible feed is mostly customer success portal navigation.
The captured Planview AdaptiveWork feed is dominated by customer success portal cards — Connect 2026 conference promotion, UX Research Lab participation, system status links, and the Success Accelerator program. The one release-relevant page is the AdaptiveWork Release Notes index, which shows version timeline markers for 2026.02 (current) and 2026.03 (upcoming 'NEXT RELEASE') but the crawler is capturing the index rather than the per-release detail pages.
What is My Hours?
My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow
My Hours is a time tracking platform with a strong invoicing and reporting core, now shipping in two distinct directions: an AI integration layer (Claude MCP connector, Sep 3) and expanded compliance-friendly tracking features (break tracking with payroll calculations, attendance reports, budget alerts). The September releases represent the most capability-dense period in the window, following a patch-heavy summer. The MCP connector runs on Keboola's Cloudflare infrastructure — zero install, OAuth-only.

Clarizen

Planview AdaptiveWork (formerly Clarizen) shows version timeline 2026.02→2026.03, but the visible feed is mostly customer success portal navigation.
◆ Current state
The captured Planview AdaptiveWork feed is dominated by customer success portal cards — Connect 2026 conference promotion, UX Research Lab participation, system status links, and the Success Accelerator program. The one release-relevant page is the AdaptiveWork Release Notes index, which shows version timeline markers for 2026.02 (current) and 2026.03 (upcoming 'NEXT RELEASE') but the crawler is capturing the index rather than the per-release detail pages.
◆ Where it's heading
Without substantive release content visible, product trajectory isn't observable from this feed. The continued AdaptiveWork branding reflects Planview's post-Clarizen-acquisition consolidation. Connect 2026 promotion suggests an upcoming customer event in late spring or summer.
◆ Prediction
Confident predictions aren't possible from this slice. A different ingestion target (per-version pages under success.planview.com/Planview_AdaptiveWork/00_AdaptiveWork_Release_Notes/...) would surface actual release content and let trajectory and prediction become real.

My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow
◆ Current state
My Hours is a time tracking platform with a strong invoicing and reporting core, now shipping in two distinct directions: an AI integration layer (Claude MCP connector, Sep 3) and expanded compliance-friendly tracking features (break tracking with payroll calculations, attendance reports, budget alerts). The September releases represent the most capability-dense period in the window, following a patch-heavy summer. The MCP connector runs on Keboola's Cloudflare infrastructure — zero install, OAuth-only.
◆ Where it's heading
The Claude MCP connector signals a clear strategic bet: My Hours wants to be the time tracking tool you interact with through AI conversation rather than through a timer UI. The infrastructure choice (remote server on Cloudflare, not a local install) removes adoption friction, making it viable for teams already using Claude. Parallel development on attendance reports and break tracking points toward a compliance and HR use case — overtime tracking, payroll-ready break records — that broadens My Hours beyond professional services billing.
◆ Prediction
The MCP integration will expand to cover write operations beyond time logging — budget tracking, invoice creation, and report export are the most obvious additions. The attendance report launched in August suggests a near-term push toward HR and payroll integrations, potentially positioning My Hours against more compliance-focused tools like Harvest or Timely for regulated industries.
