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 Zluri?
Zluri ships canvas workflows and a Segregation of Duties engine, moving from SaaS management into full IGA territory.
Zluri is in a concentrated feature-ship cycle, landing two significant enterprise compliance capabilities in one week: a visual canvas-based workflow builder (Workflows v2) that replaces a linear builder with node graphs, conditional branches, and dynamic variable support; and Segregation of Duties (SoD), a policy engine for detecting toxic access combinations with automated remediation via Playbooks. The August 30 cluster of three releases (source prioritization, instance management, activity-based status controls) built out the identity data layer these modules now operate against.
Moov vs Zluri: 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.
Zluri
10.0FINANCE
Zluri ships canvas workflows and a Segregation of Duties engine, moving from SaaS management into full IGA territory.
◆ Current state
Zluri is in a concentrated feature-ship cycle, landing two significant enterprise compliance capabilities in one week: a visual canvas-based workflow builder (Workflows v2) that replaces a linear builder with node graphs, conditional branches, and dynamic variable support; and Segregation of Duties (SoD), a policy engine for detecting toxic access combinations with automated remediation via Playbooks. The August 30 cluster of three releases (source prioritization, instance management, activity-based status controls) built out the identity data layer these modules now operate against.
◆ Where it's heading
The August 30 foundation releases — source prioritization, first-class instance/account entities, activity-based status thresholds — form a coherent identity model upgrade that makes Zluri's data precise enough to power compliance automation. Workflows v2 and SODs are the enforcement layer built on top. The trajectory is clear: Zluri is systematically working up the ITAM/IGA stack from discovery → governance → compliance automation, compressing a roadmap that traditionally spans separate products.
◆ Prediction
Non-human identity (NHI) support, explicitly called out as the next step in the instance management release, is the next significant capability addition. Combined with SODs and account-level access reviews, Zluri is positioning directly against dedicated IGA tools in the SME/mid-market.
