Super Productivity vs Hive
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Super Productivity and Hive — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Super Productivity vs Hive: at a glance
What is Super Productivity?
Super Productivity's feed shows a docs commit, not a release, since August.
The last tagged release is v18.21.2 in late August, which repaired legacy data migration and sync privacy after the 18.21 device-list and live-presence work. The newest entry is a branch tag on a docs commit recording known capture gaps for repeat tasks and time blocks, not a release.
What is Hive?
Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.
Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.
Super Productivity vs Hive: editorial side-by-side
Super Productivity's feed shows a docs commit, not a release, since August.
◆ Current state
The last tagged release is v18.21.2 in late August, which repaired legacy data migration and sync privacy after the 18.21 device-list and live-presence work. The newest entry is a branch tag on a docs commit recording known capture gaps for repeat tasks and time blocks, not a release.
◆ Where it's heading
The 18.x line built SuperSync into an account surface with device management and encrypted-only uploads, then paused for repair. The docs commit suggests work on task capture is underway, but nothing has shipped in the feed since.
◆ Prediction
The next release likely addresses repeat-task and time-block capture, given the recorded gaps; the feed shows no date.
Hive
6.3COLLABPM
Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.
◆ Current state
Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.
◆ Where it's heading
Dashboards are moving from showing tracked time toward capacity planning, with shared inputs that update every report when edited. Bulk editing keeps reaching more views, and each new bulk action ships with undo.
◆ Prediction
Expect more report widgets to accept Tables inputs and drill-downs, and bulk actions extending to fields beyond dates and status.
