A side-by-side editorial comparison of Sugar Calendar and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Sugar Calendar stops being a second copy of your schedule, with two-way Google sync.
Sugar Calendar Events now syncs with a chosen Google calendar in either direction, or both, and adds Google Meet links to the event editor. Deleted Google events move to the Trash on the site rather than disappearing. Days earlier it added Gia AI, a chat that turns a sentence into a draft event, edits existing events and reports on registrations.
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.

The plugin's sweep of manual work around an event has moved from attendee tasks to event creation itself. Both October releases remove double entry: Gia parses a description into fields, and Google sync removes the second calendar. Each post is still a how-to rather than a release note, with versions left unstated.
Attendee answers and registration data remain the obvious material for Gia, which can already report on registrations. The posts do not say whether Outlook or other calendars will follow Google.

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.
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.
