DoneDone vs Formbricks: at a glance
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
What is Formbricks?
Formbricks 6.0 RC cycle reveals commercial hardening: lower self-hosted cap, MCP OAuth, and Act as Beta
Formbricks is deep in the 6.0 release candidate cycle, with rc.5 landing today. The rc.1 drop was the meaningful one: the platform renamed its analytics module (Unify → Analyze), promoted Act to Beta status, lowered the unlicensed self-hosted workspace cap from unlimited to 1, and added MCP OAuth support. The 5.x maintenance branch is receiving parallel SSO and Redis fixes. The combined picture is a product tightening its commercial model ahead of a major version.

DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
◆ Current state
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
◆ Where it's heading
DoneDone is building toward a more configurable platform, moving away from opinionated simplicity toward flexible data models and process automation. Custom fields and workflow automations together form the foundation of a structured work management tool that teams can mold to their own processes. The direction is clear: make DoneDone adaptable enough to compete with more complex tools without requiring that complexity upfront.
◆ Prediction
Custom fields will likely expand with automation triggers (e.g., automate based on field value, not just status), and the email-to-task intake may gain routing rules or field-mapping capabilities to make incoming requests more organized from the start.

Formbricks 6.0 RC cycle reveals commercial hardening: lower self-hosted cap, MCP OAuth, and Act as Beta
◆ Current state
Formbricks is deep in the 6.0 release candidate cycle, with rc.5 landing today. The rc.1 drop was the meaningful one: the platform renamed its analytics module (Unify → Analyze), promoted Act to Beta status, lowered the unlicensed self-hosted workspace cap from unlimited to 1, and added MCP OAuth support. The 5.x maintenance branch is receiving parallel SSO and Redis fixes. The combined picture is a product tightening its commercial model ahead of a major version.
◆ Where it's heading
Formbricks is moving from open-source survey tool toward a commercially-gated platform with a more restricted self-hosted tier. The workspace cap reduction, contacts entitlement gating, and enrichment status indicators signal a deliberate push toward cloud and licensed deployments. The MCP OAuth addition keeps it relevant to AI tooling. The 6.0 release will likely formalize the Analyze/Act module split as the product's positioning around feedback intelligence, not just survey collection.
◆ Prediction
6.0 stable release is imminent given the rapid rc cycle. Expect commercial tier differentiation (Act features gated on license) to become clearer once the stable drops, and for the self-hosted community to feel the workspace cap immediately.
