Nifty vs Fibery: at a glance
What is Nifty?
Nifty rebuilt its mobile apps and shipped capacity planning while its API moved to v3.
Three releases in four weeks changed different layers. September 14 opened API v3 with a developer portal and OAuth 2.1, and set a September 1, 2027 sunset for v1. September 28 added Capacity Planner, which turns estimates, working hours and time off into visible capacity on Calendar and Workloads. October 12 rebuilt the iOS and Android apps on a new architecture, and Nifty reports the work behind spinners and long waits fell by about 95%.
What is Fibery?
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.
Nifty vs Fibery: editorial side-by-side
Nifty
2.5PM
Nifty rebuilt its mobile apps and shipped capacity planning while its API moved to v3.
◆ Current state
Three releases in four weeks changed different layers. September 14 opened API v3 with a developer portal and OAuth 2.1, and set a September 1, 2027 sunset for v1. September 28 added Capacity Planner, which turns estimates, working hours and time off into visible capacity on Calendar and Workloads. October 12 rebuilt the iOS and Android apps on a new architecture, and Nifty reports the work behind spinners and long waits fell by about 95%.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server made Nifty an agent surface in July, and the autumn releases extend beyond it: a public API for integrators, a planning model built on real availability, and a mobile foundation Nifty says will let it ship faster. Agent work continues alongside, with full-thread context for assistants and explicit notice when content is trimmed.
◆ Prediction
The October notes list a new rich text editor and AI agent hand-off notes as coming next, and September's named Forms support for MCP and improved invites. Those are the likely next items.
Fibery
6.3PM
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
◆ Current state
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery alternates big AI releases (AI agent, Custom Apps, AI-built integrations) with polish weeks. Making MCP setup a first-class setting shows it expects outside agents to work in Fibery as much as its own.
◆ Prediction
The pricing decision on AI Connectors is due by year end; MCP-based connector creation is still the open item from October.
