HavaHR vs Ever Gauzy: at a glance
What is HavaHR?
HavaHR ships a one-step MCP install, putting Malaysia payroll data inside any AI agent.
HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy patches registration UX and table polish while a full payroll module lands beneath the release noise.
Ever Gauzy is running a high-frequency patch cycle—multiple releases per day—addressing UI polish, bug fixes, and minor UX improvements. The v111.42.0 registration improvement (prefilling names from Stripe to avoid clobbering collected data) is the week's only user-visible feature in the top releases. Beneath the patch cadence, v111.41.7 and v111.41.6 shipped a full Payroll module and a Leave Management module respectively, which are the real markers of what this cycle is actually building.

HavaHR is a Malaysia-focused payroll and HR platform covering payslips, EA PDFs, CSV exports, and multi-workspace administration. A unified Approvals inbox now consolidates leave, expense, and overtime requests for workspace admins. The product is careful about compliance scope — it explicitly excludes Hasil/MyTax filings and e-invoicing, and v1.1.2 removed overreach claims from marketing copy to reflect what the platform actually delivers.
◆ Where it's heading
The v1.2.1 release reveals where HavaHR is heading: it wants to be the payroll tool layer for AI developer workflows. By shipping an MCP server that installs via a single npx command and runs in seven AI environments (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT desktop, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed), HavaHR is betting that its payroll data becomes queryable from wherever the developer already works rather than requiring a separate UI context switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP capability depth to grow — the v1.2.1 push into seven environments is a distribution move, not an experiment. Watch for payroll query tools, payslip generation, and leave-balance lookups as next additions to the MCP server.

◆ Where it's heading
Ever Gauzy is building out a complete open-source HRM suite, layering payroll and leave management onto its existing time tracking and project management core. The module-level additions (PayrollRun, PayrollItem, Time Off Policies, Official Holidays, Balance Tracking) suggest a deliberate effort to reach feature parity with enterprise HRM systems like BambooHR or Gusto at the open-source tier.
◆ Prediction
Ever Gauzy will continue module-level feature additions at the same pace—expenses, benefits, and performance appraisals are the natural next targets given the current HRM build-out trajectory.
