My Hours vs Smartsheet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of My Hours and Smartsheet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
My Hours vs Smartsheet: at a glance
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
What is Smartsheet?
Smartsheet becomes where plans drafted in Claude Sheets get executed.
Smartsheet is rebuilding its core around table view: a table view report builder, Enterprise sheets above 500,000 cells, reports above 1,500,000 rows and a new Gantt view with critical path. On November 10 it added a beta that sends a plan started in Claude Sheets into Smartsheet, ready for a team to act on. Earlier it retired card view for Enterprise and limited AI to Table, Board and Timeline views.

My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
Smartsheet
5.0COLLABPM
Smartsheet becomes where plans drafted in Claude Sheets get executed.
◆ Current state
Smartsheet is rebuilding its core around table view: a table view report builder, Enterprise sheets above 500,000 cells, reports above 1,500,000 rows and a new Gantt view with critical path. On November 10 it added a beta that sends a plan started in Claude Sheets into Smartsheet, ready for a team to act on. Earlier it retired card view for Enterprise and limited AI to Table, Board and Timeline views.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks are visible. The core product is consolidating onto fewer, larger views, and Smartsheet is positioning itself as the execution layer for work drafted elsewhere, starting with an AI spreadsheet. Imports from SharePoint and Workday sync point the same way: pull data in, run the work in Smartsheet.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Claude Sheets handoff to leave beta and similar send-to paths from other AI assistants, since the release frames Smartsheet as the destination rather than the drafting tool.
