What is Moov?
Moov keeps closing the gap between what its API can do and what the Dashboard exposes.
Moov is a payments platform shipping on a versioned API train, currently with v2026.10.00 in preview and v2026.07.00 recently landed. The last two months added FedNow alongside RTP for instant bank credits, surcharging, payout fees that merchants can pass to recipients, user-defined amounts on payment links, and custom Dashboard roles. The consistent shape of a release is an API capability followed weeks later by the Dashboard surface for it.
What is Stigg?
Stigg ships natural language contract management, completing its build-out as an AI-native commercial operations layer.
Stigg has assembled a full commercial operations platform in the span of a few weeks. Contract Management moved from beta (August) to AI-skill-powered natural language management (September 14), the data export destinations expanded to connect Stigg's commercial data to existing BI stacks, and Eurozone pricing collapsed 21 per-country configurations into one. The entitlements platform's Go SDK also gained edge API support, reducing the latency of enforcement checks.
Moov vs Stigg: editorial side-by-side
Moov
5.0FINANCE
Moov keeps closing the gap between what its API can do and what the Dashboard exposes.
◆ Current state
Moov is a payments platform shipping on a versioned API train, currently with v2026.10.00 in preview and v2026.07.00 recently landed. The last two months added FedNow alongside RTP for instant bank credits, surcharging, payout fees that merchants can pass to recipients, user-defined amounts on payment links, and custom Dashboard roles. The consistent shape of a release is an API capability followed weeks later by the Dashboard surface for it.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel. One is fee mechanics — surcharging, tax moved into amountDetails, payout fees, and now fee plan reassignment — steadily giving platforms more control over who pays what and when they agree to it. The other is self-service: pricing disclosure in the onboarding Drop, resumable onboarding, custom roles, and richer partner onboarding all reduce the number of moments a customer has to talk to Moov support. Both point at Moov being operated by platforms embedding payments rather than by merchants directly.
◆ Prediction
Fee plan agreement updates are still in-development on v2026.10.00, so expect that to reach general availability along with the Dashboard controls to match. The recurring gap between an API capability and its Dashboard equivalent suggests the next Dashboard releases will pick up fee plan management.
Stigg
7.5FINANCE
Stigg ships natural language contract management, completing its build-out as an AI-native commercial operations layer.
◆ Current state
Stigg has assembled a full commercial operations platform in the span of a few weeks. Contract Management moved from beta (August) to AI-skill-powered natural language management (September 14), the data export destinations expanded to connect Stigg's commercial data to existing BI stacks, and Eurozone pricing collapsed 21 per-country configurations into one. The entitlements platform's Go SDK also gained edge API support, reducing the latency of enforcement checks.
◆ Where it's heading
Stigg is systematically replacing ad hoc spreadsheet and CRM workarounds for RevOps teams managing sales-led deals. The arc is clear: start with self-serve pricing/entitlements, add contract management for custom enterprise terms, layer AI to make that management accessible without developer involvement, and export everything to data warehouses so it stays in sync with the rest of the business. The goal is to be the system of record for all commercial terms — self-serve and sales-led — rather than a developer dependency for pricing enforcement.
◆ Prediction
The stigg-contracts AI skill will likely expand to handle contract amendments and renewal queries, and a tighter Salesforce/HubSpot integration to close the loop from CRM opportunity to provisioned entitlements is the obvious next move — right now a deal still requires a human to bridge the two systems.
