Incus vs ToolJet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Incus and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Incus vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is Incus?
Incus 7.4 turns a year of migration plumbing into near-live migration that actually moves disks.
7.0.0 LTS became the supported baseline in May with 7.0.1 as its first patch, while the feature branch kept a roughly monthly cadence: 7.1 cleaned up issues the LTS surfaced, 7.2 added migration-compatible hypervisor flags for stateful migration, 7.3 shipped native Windows and macOS installers. 7.4 is the largest of them and the first with a headline capability — near-live migration implemented on both client and server, extended to dependent disks inside a cluster, with incremental memory migration made opt-in. Alongside it sit Secure Boot key management, a substantial NVRAM rework, librbd for all Ceph interactions, and disk and NIC burst limits.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet bundles MCP into its EE image and adds PAT auth, making the AI builder addressable by external agents
ToolJet is shipping two tracks simultaneously: an LTS track (v3.20.x) that incrementally extends PAT-based API access to workflows, group management, and plugin specs, and a beta track (v3.21.x) moving faster with multi-LLM support, PAT authentication for MCP, 2FA, and CSV import. The most directional release is v3.20.227-lts, which bundled tooljet-mcp into the EE production image — making ToolJet's AI builder directly addressable by external MCP clients without requiring separate server setup.

Incus
6.3INFRA · APIS
Incus 7.4 turns a year of migration plumbing into near-live migration that actually moves disks.
◆ Current state
7.0.0 LTS became the supported baseline in May with 7.0.1 as its first patch, while the feature branch kept a roughly monthly cadence: 7.1 cleaned up issues the LTS surfaced, 7.2 added migration-compatible hypervisor flags for stateful migration, 7.3 shipped native Windows and macOS installers. 7.4 is the largest of them and the first with a headline capability — near-live migration implemented on both client and server, extended to dependent disks inside a cluster, with incremental memory migration made opt-in. Alongside it sit Secure Boot key management, a substantial NVRAM rework, librbd for all Ceph interactions, and disk and NIC burst limits.
◆ Where it's heading
Migration has been the through-line for three releases and 7.4 is where it becomes a feature rather than plumbing. The pattern is consistent: 7.2 made stateful migration survive non-identical hosts, 7.4 makes moving an instance cheap enough to do routinely, including the storage that hangs off it. Around that, the VM side is maturing toward parity with commercial hypervisors — firmware key management, NVRAM control, per-device rate limits — which is the surface that decides whether Incus is usable as a datacentre hypervisor rather than a container manager that also runs VMs.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to harden near-live migration rather than replace it — the evacuation and cluster-recovery fixes already threaded through 7.4 suggest the gaps are in cluster-wide orchestration, not the transfer itself.

ToolJet bundles MCP into its EE image and adds PAT auth, making the AI builder addressable by external agents
◆ Current state
ToolJet is shipping two tracks simultaneously: an LTS track (v3.20.x) that incrementally extends PAT-based API access to workflows, group management, and plugin specs, and a beta track (v3.21.x) moving faster with multi-LLM support, PAT authentication for MCP, 2FA, and CSV import. The most directional release is v3.20.227-lts, which bundled tooljet-mcp into the EE production image — making ToolJet's AI builder directly addressable by external MCP clients without requiring separate server setup.
◆ Where it's heading
ToolJet is evolving from an app builder with AI features into a programmable internal-tool platform that participates in multi-agent workflows. The PAT expansion across workflows, groups, themes, user management, and now MCP builds a coherent API surface; bundling MCP into the EE image makes that surface reachable from external orchestrators. Multi-LLM switching in the beta track removes single-provider lock-in. The combination points toward ToolJet as a callable, model-agnostic component in agentic stacks.
◆ Prediction
With PAT+MCP shipped and multi-LLM in beta, the next move is likely PAT usage limits and LLM cost attribution at the workspace level, giving enterprise IT the control plane they need before broad rollout.
