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 Tanda?
Tanda ships a dense cluster of payroll accuracy and reporting improvements aimed at Australian compliance depth.
Tanda is an Australian-market workforce management platform covering scheduling, timesheets, payroll, and recruiting (Tanda Hire). The product ships at high cadence with a strong compliance focus — AU award management, contractor tax details, Fair Work Commission alignment — alongside UX polish for payroll teams and line managers. Recent releases cluster around payroll data accuracy, reporting flexibility, and white-labeling for B2B use cases.
Miter vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side
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.
Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda ships a dense cluster of payroll accuracy and reporting improvements aimed at Australian compliance depth.
◆ Current state
Tanda is an Australian-market workforce management platform covering scheduling, timesheets, payroll, and recruiting (Tanda Hire). The product ships at high cadence with a strong compliance focus — AU award management, contractor tax details, Fair Work Commission alignment — alongside UX polish for payroll teams and line managers. Recent releases cluster around payroll data accuracy, reporting flexibility, and white-labeling for B2B use cases.
◆ Where it's heading
Tanda is filling out its existing surface rather than making directional moves. The Hire module is expanding (talent pools, multi-SEEK integrations) in parallel with core payroll depth, suggesting a push toward a complete HR stack for Australian SMBs rather than a best-of-breed point solution. No AI or agentic features are visible in recent releases; the investment is in compliance breadth and data accuracy at the edges of the payroll process.
◆ Prediction
The most likely next move is continued Australian award compliance automation — more managed templates tracking the Fair Work Commission's multi-year phase-in decisions — and further Hire module buildout to reduce recruiter reliance on a separate ATS.
