Fibery vs Productboard
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Productboard — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery vs Productboard: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery hands integrations to AI: describe any HTTP API and it builds, tests and hosts the connector.
Fibery ships weekly, and its recent releases put AI at the center of how the workspace gets built: Custom Apps generate interfaces, a new AI Agent arrived in September, and the October 8 release added Space data hidden from Admins. The October 15 release previews AI-built Custom Integrations, where a user describes a source and AI writes, tests and runs the connector with OAuth and webhooks. The MCP server also gains an execute_code tool that lets agents chain calls in a script, and rich-text changes now show as diffs with notifications.
What is Productboard?
Productboard v2 adds exact-match text filters as the data model keeps widening.
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types an open, workspace-specific string. Since then the data model has kept widening: rich text accepts tables and checklists, relationships hold their own field values, and as of October 15 entity search supports exact-match filtering on text fields.

◆ Current state
Fibery ships weekly, and its recent releases put AI at the center of how the workspace gets built: Custom Apps generate interfaces, a new AI Agent arrived in September, and the October 8 release added Space data hidden from Admins. The October 15 release previews AI-built Custom Integrations, where a user describes a source and AI writes, tests and runs the connector with OAuth and webhooks. The MCP server also gains an execute_code tool that lets agents chain calls in a script, and rich-text changes now show as diffs with notifications.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery keeps replacing things it would otherwise build by hand, first views and apps and now integrations, with AI-generated equivalents users can request. Each shift adds a usage-based cost line: AI credits for building and, after the preview, compute charges for running connectors. Controls such as attribution, usage dashboards and permission splits are growing alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect compute pricing for Custom Integrations once the 2–4 week preview ends, followed by an MCP tool for creating connectors, which the release lists as missing. Two-way sync is also listed as a current limit, but the entries don't say whether it is planned.
Productboard v2 adds exact-match text filters as the data model keeps widening.
◆ Current state
Productboard's v2 API spent the summer closing v1 parity gaps, then in September made entity types an open, workspace-specific string. Since then the data model has kept widening: rich text accepts tables and checklists, relationships hold their own field values, and as of October 15 entity search supports exact-match filtering on text fields.
◆ Where it's heading
With parity mostly done, v2 is extending the data model and making it queryable. Workspace-defined entity types and relationship fields push schema decisions into each workspace's configuration, and filter operators like eq let integrations match records precisely instead of scanning with contains.
◆ Prediction
Expect filtering and search to reach relationship fields next, following the pattern of new data shapes gaining query operators a few weeks later. Whether the beta customer score endpoint leaves beta isn't signalled by the entries.
