Formbricks vs iTop
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Formbricks and iTop — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Formbricks vs iTop: at a glance
What is Formbricks?
Formbricks is spending the whole 5.2 release train on tenant isolation, not features.
The 5.2 line has been in release-candidate churn for two weeks, with eleven RC tags across the last ten entries and almost nothing but fixes in them. The dominant thread is workspace and organization scoping: API keys, surveys, quotas, integrations, and historical response imports all had their authorization boundaries tightened, and the same fix was backported to the 5.1 branch. Charts and the Unify feedback-data surface pick up incremental work alongside, while MCP OAuth scope handling is being corrected rather than extended.
What is iTop?
iTop's 3.3 beta stretches the CMDB to containers and finally ships non-English sample data
The only substantive entry is the 3.3.0 beta, which adds an optional Container Management module introducing a Cloud class plus container image, application and cluster classes, and makes sample data installable in French and German alongside English. Sample users are created automatically but arrive disabled with expired passwords. The two other entries are internal designer build tags carrying single bug-fix references.

◆ Current state
The 5.2 line has been in release-candidate churn for two weeks, with eleven RC tags across the last ten entries and almost nothing but fixes in them. The dominant thread is workspace and organization scoping: API keys, surveys, quotas, integrations, and historical response imports all had their authorization boundaries tightened, and the same fix was backported to the 5.1 branch. Charts and the Unify feedback-data surface pick up incremental work alongside, while MCP OAuth scope handling is being corrected rather than extended.
◆ Where it's heading
Formbricks is converging on a 5.2 general release, and the RC contents say the blocker is multi-tenant correctness rather than remaining scope. Two branches now receive the same scoping patches, which is what a project does when self-hosted and cloud deployments both need the fix and neither can wait for the other. The MCP scope corrections indicate an agent-facing API surface that already shipped and is now being debugged in place.
◆ Prediction
Expect 5.2.x to reach a stable tag once the scoping backports stop landing, with 5.1 kept alive as the branch for deployments that cannot move yet. Whether the MCP surface gains new capability or only continued fixes is not visible in these entries.

iTop's 3.3 beta stretches the CMDB to containers and finally ships non-English sample data
◆ Current state
The only substantive entry is the 3.3.0 beta, which adds an optional Container Management module introducing a Cloud class plus container image, application and cluster classes, and makes sample data installable in French and German alongside English. Sample users are created automatically but arrive disabled with expired passwords. The two other entries are internal designer build tags carrying single bug-fix references.
◆ Where it's heading
The container work is iTop extending its configuration model to infrastructure its users have been running for years without a place to record it. Pairing that with localised sample data and pre-built test users points at reducing time-to-first-value during evaluation — the module and the onboarding polish are aimed at different audiences in the same release.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 3.3 betas before a general release, with the Container Management module likely staying optional while its class model settles.
