ProjectManager vs Fibery
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ProjectManager and Fibery — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ProjectManager vs Fibery: at a glance
What is ProjectManager?
ProjectManager ships press releases instead of changelogs — last real news is the May 2024 Acumatica deal.
Visible activity is dominated by integration announcements (Jira, Power BI, Acumatica) and a redesigned public API in late 2023, then a long quiet stretch through 2024 and 2025. Each release also appears twice in the feed — once as a press-release excerpt, once as the WordPress image-markup version — so nominal cadence is roughly half what it looks like. The most recent actual product-shaped news is the Acumatica integration from a year ago.
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.

◆ Current state
Visible activity is dominated by integration announcements (Jira, Power BI, Acumatica) and a redesigned public API in late 2023, then a long quiet stretch through 2024 and 2025. Each release also appears twice in the feed — once as a press-release excerpt, once as the WordPress image-markup version — so nominal cadence is roughly half what it looks like. The most recent actual product-shaped news is the Acumatica integration from a year ago.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is 'land a big-name integration, market it as a release' — the standard mid-market PM-tool playbook against Asana, Smartsheet, Monday and Wrike. With no shipping signal in the past year, the product reads as in maintenance while marketing keeps the funnel warm with educational SEO content.
◆ Prediction
Most likely next observable event is another ERP, BI, or developer-tool integration announcement. If the crawler can be repointed at a real release-notes page (or a status feed), the picture would change; today the feed is press releases and blog posts.
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.
