Fibery vs Tracecat
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Tracecat — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery vs Tracecat: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform
Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.
What is Tracecat?
Tracecat adds Claude Opus 5 and deepens case management as its AI-agent SOC layer matures
Tracecat is a security automation platform in active beta, shipping multiple release candidates per week. The platform is simultaneously building out case management (field resolvers, rich text comments, agent-case linking), hardening execution security (nsjail improvements, audit attribution), and expanding its AI agent capabilities — Claude Opus 5 is now in the platform model catalog alongside a cleaner agent runtime after dropping pydantic-ai. Integrations with Recorded Future, Google Cloud Logging, and 1Password signal active enterprise SOC positioning.

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform
◆ Current state
Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.
◆ Prediction
The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.

Tracecat adds Claude Opus 5 and deepens case management as its AI-agent SOC layer matures
◆ Current state
Tracecat is a security automation platform in active beta, shipping multiple release candidates per week. The platform is simultaneously building out case management (field resolvers, rich text comments, agent-case linking), hardening execution security (nsjail improvements, audit attribution), and expanding its AI agent capabilities — Claude Opus 5 is now in the platform model catalog alongside a cleaner agent runtime after dropping pydantic-ai. Integrations with Recorded Future, Google Cloud Logging, and 1Password signal active enterprise SOC positioning.
◆ Where it's heading
The RC cadence and feature pattern point toward an AI-driven SOC automation platform where agents handle security cases end-to-end. Case management and agent capabilities are developing in lockstep: agent run filtering by case, agent mutation recording, and now Opus 5 access together sketch a system where AI agents can investigate, classify, and act within a case context — not just fire webhooks.
◆ Prediction
The next directional move is tighter coupling between the AI agent layer and case lifecycle — expect agent-driven case state transitions and remediation actions surfaced in the case UI, rather than separate workflow outputs.
