Hoppscotch vs Scrypted: at a glance
What is Hoppscotch?
Hoppscotch adds an enterprise cloud tier and an AI assistant, then turns to desktop trust.
Hoppscotch's September release introduced Enterprise Cloud, a tier with IAM, SSO, audit logs and dedicated support, and an AI Assistant for Enterprise Self-Host that can edit and run requests, manage collections and publish documentation. October was quieter: 2026.10.0 made the desktop app honor the operating system's trust store and hardened self-host default secrets, and 2026.10.1 fixes bundle origin permissions on Windows desktop and opens chat reply links in the browser.
What is Scrypted?
Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.
Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.

Hoppscotch adds an enterprise cloud tier and an AI assistant, then turns to desktop trust.
◆ Current state
Hoppscotch's September release introduced Enterprise Cloud, a tier with IAM, SSO, audit logs and dedicated support, and an AI Assistant for Enterprise Self-Host that can edit and run requests, manage collections and publish documentation. October was quieter: 2026.10.0 made the desktop app honor the operating system's trust store and hardened self-host default secrets, and 2026.10.1 fixes bundle origin permissions on Windows desktop and opens chat reply links in the browser.
◆ Where it's heading
After August's unified workspace, the visible direction is commercial. New capability is arriving in enterprise editions, and two patch releases in September were enterprise-only or version syncs with no Community Edition change. The October work on corporate CAs and default secrets suits the same buyer, because both are problems that show up inside managed networks.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI Assistant to expand from Enterprise Self-Host toward Enterprise Cloud, since both now exist. Whether any of it reaches the Community Edition is not stated in these notes.
Scrypted
0.0INFRA · APIS
Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.
◆ Current state
Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible activity is maintenance and security rather than features: type-safety refactors, dependency updates and server hardening. The last user-facing camera feature in these entries was Amcrest text overlay support in May 2025.
◆ Prediction
Expect sporadic point releases with dependency and security fixes; the entries give no sign of a feature push.
