Cosmic vs ToolJet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Cosmic and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Cosmic vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is Cosmic?
Cosmic retired AI Studio and gave its agents goals — the CMS is becoming an agent runtime.
Six weeks of releases pull in one direction. AI Studio was retired and Cosmic's AI consolidated into three surfaces: Agents, Workflows, and Code. Agents gained goals described in plain language that they work toward on their own, running steps and checking in, plus write access to reusable rich-text Content Blocks rather than read-only reference. Semantic search embeds bucket objects into a vector index so content is retrievable by meaning. The two newest entries add Claude Opus 5 and Kimi K3 to the model lineup.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

Cosmic retired AI Studio and gave its agents goals — the CMS is becoming an agent runtime.
◆ Current state
Six weeks of releases pull in one direction. AI Studio was retired and Cosmic's AI consolidated into three surfaces: Agents, Workflows, and Code. Agents gained goals described in plain language that they work toward on their own, running steps and checking in, plus write access to reusable rich-text Content Blocks rather than read-only reference. Semantic search embeds bucket objects into a vector index so content is retrievable by meaning. The two newest entries add Claude Opus 5 and Kimi K3 to the model lineup.
◆ Where it's heading
The content API is turning into a runtime agents operate inside: goals instead of prompts, write permissions instead of suggestions, and a vector index so an agent can find what it needs without being handed it. Retiring AI Studio is the clearest signal — Cosmic is choosing fewer, deeper surfaces over a menu of separate AI features, which is a harder position to reverse.
◆ Prediction
Expect agent write scope to extend past Content Blocks to objects and media, and goals to gain triggers or schedules so they run without a person starting them.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
◆ Current state
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
