Casdoor vs Hoppscotch: at a glance
What is Casdoor?
Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
What is Hoppscotch?
A browser API client rebuilding itself as self-hosted infrastructure — while its cloud loses collections.
Hoppscotch ships on a roughly two-week train, and the substance has moved off the web app onto the desktop client and self-hosted deployments: cookie persistence, connection timeouts, arbitrary non-root container UIDs, SMTP OAuth2, configurable proxy URLs. The last three releases have been dominated by a personal-workspace data-loss incident that forced a cloud rollback, deferred a Cloud Desktop release, and was only resolved in 2026.7.0. Enterprise-only patches now appear in the same feed as community ones.

Casdoor is spending its release cadence moving auth checks from the client to the server
◆ Current state
Casdoor is in a tight patch cadence: six tagged releases inside a week, most carrying a single commit. The substance is concentrated in identity enforcement rather than features - password rotation and MFA setup are now enforced server-side, admin updates to a user respect the column whitelist, sessions and tokens are revoked when a user is forbidden, and phone numbers are normalised before they are stored. The remainder is release plumbing and a PostgreSQL query fix.
◆ Where it's heading
Read together, these commits describe one job: closing the gap between what the console enforces and what the backend enforces. Several of them move a check that previously lived in the UI into the server, which is the work of a project being deployed into environments that audit it. New authentication providers and integrations have thinned relative to this hardening pass.
◆ Prediction
The next releases most likely continue the same sweep - remaining endpoints where an admin or user request is trusted more than the server verifies - rather than adding a new identity provider.
Hoppscotch
5.0INFRA · APIS
A browser API client rebuilding itself as self-hosted infrastructure — while its cloud loses collections.
◆ Current state
Hoppscotch ships on a roughly two-week train, and the substance has moved off the web app onto the desktop client and self-hosted deployments: cookie persistence, connection timeouts, arbitrary non-root container UIDs, SMTP OAuth2, configurable proxy URLs. The last three releases have been dominated by a personal-workspace data-loss incident that forced a cloud rollback, deferred a Cloud Desktop release, and was only resolved in 2026.7.0. Enterprise-only patches now appear in the same feed as community ones.
◆ Where it's heading
The centre of gravity is shifting from the free browser tool toward a deployable product with an operations surface — the changes that matter are about running Hoppscotch, not about calling APIs with it. Feature work is Postman-parity catch-up (collection-level scripts, OpenAPI 3.1 export, API doc versioning) rather than anything that redefines the client. Meanwhile the reliability debt is visible in public: three consecutive releases carried an incident banner.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to keep hardening self-hosted and Desktop paths and to restore the deferred Cloud Desktop track, with continued Postman-parity feature fills rather than a new capability class.
