Miter vs Keka: at a glance
What is Miter?
Miter's November digest takes job photos, material costs and safety records into the field
Miter ships one large digest every month or two, organized by module. The November update is field-heavy: Photos 2.0 in the mobile app with markup and map pins, material logs that post costs to the job and Project Intelligence budgets, job templates, and public safety profiles for contractor prequalification. Payroll adds a missed-deductions report and Spend adds virtual Miter cards.
What is Keka?
Keka's feed has turned to US payroll and benefits explainers, still with no changelog
Keka's feed is now a steady run of US payroll and benefits explainers. November 3 brought seven guides, November 5 added four more on Form 940, mileage, 401(k) versus 403(b) and ERISA, and November 11 added an open enrollment calendar. None of it describes a product change.

Miter's November digest takes job photos, material costs and safety records into the field
◆ Current state
Miter ships one large digest every month or two, organized by module. The November update is field-heavy: Photos 2.0 in the mobile app with markup and map pins, material logs that post costs to the job and Project Intelligence budgets, job templates, and public safety profiles for contractor prequalification. Payroll adds a missed-deductions report and Spend adds virtual Miter cards.
◆ Where it's heading
After the summer's Accounts Payable module and API 2.0, and October's Project Intelligence budgets, Miter is tying field activity back to job costing. Material logs feeding budgets and activity-driven GL coding both point toward Miter as the system of record for job cost, not only payroll.
◆ Prediction
Expect more field data sources to post into job costing and Project Intelligence, since November connects materials and activities to the GL.
Keka
5.0HR
Keka's feed has turned to US payroll and benefits explainers, still with no changelog
◆ Current state
Keka's feed is now a steady run of US payroll and benefits explainers. November 3 brought seven guides, November 5 added four more on Form 940, mileage, 401(k) versus 403(b) and ERISA, and November 11 added an open enrollment calendar. None of it describes a product change.
◆ Where it's heading
The switch from Indian to US compliance topics in one batch suggests Keka is building search presence for the US market. The feed remains marketing content, so it says little about the product itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect more US HR and payroll guides; the entries give no signal about product releases.
