LiveAgent is bolting an AI-agent and MCP layer onto a mature help desk while grinding down a security backlog.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Formbricks and DoneDone — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Formbricks is hardening its 5.1 line with a steady run of backported fixes.
Formbricks is deep in a 5.1 stabilization cycle, shipping release candidates and betas filled with backported bug fixes rather than new features. The fixes span billing and plan-gating, survey rating/CSAT UI, self-hosted AI generation stability, SDK compatibility, and MCP survey tool schemas. This is maintenance work consolidating the 5.x line, not capability expansion.
DoneDone keeps polishing its Kanban boards and shared-inbox workflows.
DoneDone is a task-tracking and shared-inbox tool, and its recent releases concentrate on board and mailbox usability: collapsible Kanban columns, new sort options, a Mailbox Kanban view, active-assignee filtering, and quieter activity feeds with actions hidden by default. Each is a focused, incremental UX improvement.

This is maintenance work consolidating the 5.x line, not capability expansion.
The cadence points at a 5.1.x stable release once the rc and backport churn settles. The recurring touchpoints — billing access, self-hosted AI, native SDK compatibility — suggest these are the areas under active load from real deployments. No directional product move is visible in this window.
Expect a 5.1.x stable tag to follow the current rc/beta sequence, bundling the accumulated billing, survey-UI, and self-hosted AI fixes.

Each is a focused, incremental UX improvement.
The direction is workflow refinement rather than expansion — reducing noise, giving users more control over how boards and inboxes are organized, and bringing Kanban patterns to the shared mailbox. It's the steady polish of an established tool tightening its day-to-day experience.
Expect continued board and mailbox UX refinement — more view, sort, and filtering controls — rather than a new capability area.
