Easy!Appointments vs Wealthbox
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Easy!Appointments and Wealthbox — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Easy!Appointments vs Wealthbox: at a glance
What is Easy!Appointments?
Easy!Appointments 1.6 lands video conferencing, GDPR tools, and a serious security overhaul across its CalDAV and booking stack.
Easy!Appointments, an open-source self-hosted scheduler, is shipping its 1.6 major version through a long pre-release cycle that has introduced Jitsi and Google Meet integration, CAPTCHA and ALTCHA anti-abuse protection, GDPR features, and a rebuilt CalDAV synchronization stack. The 1.6.1 security hardening pre-release then landed a concentrated batch of serious vulnerability fixes: LDAP injection in directory search, SSRF in CalDAV URL handling, cross-account appointment takeover, provider credential exposure to secretary accounts, and CAPTCHA bypass — a set that suggests the expanded surface area of 1.6.0 brought corresponding security debt.
What is Wealthbox?
Wealthbox opens its AI Assistant to partners and adds Vault to hold the client file.
Wealthbox had a busy October. A new MCP-based Developer Portal lets technology partners build AI Assistant integrations, with Holistiplan and Nitrogen already live. Vault, a $29 per-user add-on, adds retained file versions, full-content search and a Compliance Monitor role, while document AI reached every plan. The assistant also now works through CarPlay, and Notetaker gained compliance monitoring.
Easy!Appointments vs Wealthbox: editorial side-by-side
Easy!Appointments 1.6 lands video conferencing, GDPR tools, and a serious security overhaul across its CalDAV and booking stack.
◆ Current state
Easy!Appointments, an open-source self-hosted scheduler, is shipping its 1.6 major version through a long pre-release cycle that has introduced Jitsi and Google Meet integration, CAPTCHA and ALTCHA anti-abuse protection, GDPR features, and a rebuilt CalDAV synchronization stack. The 1.6.1 security hardening pre-release then landed a concentrated batch of serious vulnerability fixes: LDAP injection in directory search, SSRF in CalDAV URL handling, cross-account appointment takeover, provider credential exposure to secretary accounts, and CAPTCHA bypass — a set that suggests the expanded surface area of 1.6.0 brought corresponding security debt.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.6 release line is expanding Easy!Appointments from a simple booking page into a more complete scheduling platform: video conferencing links, richer calendar sync, GDPR compliance tooling, and hardened multi-provider access controls all move it closer to commercial alternatives. The security work in 1.6.1-beta.1 is as important as the features — self-hosted deployments that serve real customer data need these fixes before anyone should run 1.6 in production.
◆ Prediction
A stable 1.6.1 release is the next step, clearing the pre-release label once the security fixes are confirmed across the beta testing community. After that, the CalDAV and video conferencing integrations will likely expand — CalDAV push notifications or two-way Google Calendar sync are the natural follow-ons.
Wealthbox
6.3CRM
Wealthbox opens its AI Assistant to partners and adds Vault to hold the client file.
◆ Current state
Wealthbox had a busy October. A new MCP-based Developer Portal lets technology partners build AI Assistant integrations, with Holistiplan and Nitrogen already live. Vault, a $29 per-user add-on, adds retained file versions, full-content search and a Compliance Monitor role, while document AI reached every plan. The assistant also now works through CarPlay, and Notetaker gained compliance monitoring.
◆ Where it's heading
The advisor CRM is being rebuilt around the AI Assistant as the place work happens. Partners plug in through MCP, documents move into Wealthbox so AI can read them, and new surfaces such as CarPlay extend where it can be used. Compliance features follow each step, because regulated firms need supervision before they will rely on any of this.
◆ Prediction
Expect more partner integrations to appear through the portal, since Holistiplan and Nitrogen are its first examples. AI Agents opened early access in September, so wider availability is the next major step to watch.
