AdGuard Home vs Hoppscotch: at a glance
What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.
What is Hoppscotch?
Hoppscotch adds an enterprise cloud tier and an AI assistant, then turns to desktop trust.
Hoppscotch's September release introduced Enterprise Cloud, a tier with IAM, SSO, audit logs and dedicated support, and an AI Assistant for Enterprise Self-Host that can edit and run requests, manage collections and publish documentation. October was quieter: 2026.10.0 made the desktop app honor the operating system's trust store and hardened self-host default secrets, and 2026.10.1 fixes bundle origin permissions on Windows desktop and opens chat reply links in the browser.

AdGuard Home's 1.0 beta matches stable's security fixes and reworks client settings
◆ Current state
AdGuard Home v0.107.80 is a security release on the stable line: a Go update for the 1.27.3 fixes, Multipath TCP disabled for CVE-2026-98432 and macOS 13 dropped. The beta channel moved to the new UI and v1.0.0 numbering at the end of September; v1.0.0-b.2 on November 5 carries the same security changes, splits per-client global settings so blocked services have their own switch, and fixes a run of DHCP and client ID validation bugs.
◆ Where it's heading
The two lines are now patched in step on security, while the 1.0 beta absorbs UI corrections and validation fixes ahead of a stable switch. The beta fixes are mostly about settings that did not save or validate correctly, which is the cleanup a new UI needs before it replaces the old one.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.0 betas fixing settings and validation in the new UI; the entries give no date for 1.0 stable.

Hoppscotch adds an enterprise cloud tier and an AI assistant, then turns to desktop trust.
◆ Current state
Hoppscotch's September release introduced Enterprise Cloud, a tier with IAM, SSO, audit logs and dedicated support, and an AI Assistant for Enterprise Self-Host that can edit and run requests, manage collections and publish documentation. October was quieter: 2026.10.0 made the desktop app honor the operating system's trust store and hardened self-host default secrets, and 2026.10.1 fixes bundle origin permissions on Windows desktop and opens chat reply links in the browser.
◆ Where it's heading
After August's unified workspace, the visible direction is commercial. New capability is arriving in enterprise editions, and two patch releases in September were enterprise-only or version syncs with no Community Edition change. The October work on corporate CAs and default secrets suits the same buyer, because both are problems that show up inside managed networks.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI Assistant to expand from Enterprise Self-Host toward Enterprise Cloud, since both now exist. Whether any of it reaches the Community Edition is not stated in these notes.
