What is Merge?
Merge adds connectors and new models weekly while fixing ERP sync details underneath.
Merge ships weekly across Gateway, Unified and Agent Handler. October brought new Agent Handler connectors (Google Workspace, Ironclad, Zoom Phone, Meta Ads, TikTok for Business, Warp), Gateway support for GPT-6.1 Terra, Gemini 4 Argon and Mistral Large 4, custom prompt classifiers and a management API for security rules. Unified got NetSuite, QuickBooks, SharePoint and Jira sync fixes.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet's beta adds data source folders, database environments and git sync for workflows.
ToolJet runs two release lines: an LTS track that took AI Builder releases 4 and 5 and a custom-component CLI in late October, and a beta track that moves faster. Beta v3.21.87 on November 2 adds folders for data sources, environments for ToolJet Database, and git sync for workflows. The same release closes several tenant-isolation bugs, including an IDOR in page and component lookups and imports that trusted a client-supplied organization ID.
Merge vs ToolJet: editorial side-by-side
Merge
5.0INFRA · APIS
Merge adds connectors and new models weekly while fixing ERP sync details underneath.
◆ Current state
Merge ships weekly across Gateway, Unified and Agent Handler. October brought new Agent Handler connectors (Google Workspace, Ironclad, Zoom Phone, Meta Ads, TikTok for Business, Warp), Gateway support for GPT-6.1 Terra, Gemini 4 Argon and Mistral Large 4, custom prompt classifiers and a management API for security rules. Unified got NetSuite, QuickBooks, SharePoint and Jira sync fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
Merge is positioning Gateway and Agent Handler as the governed path for enterprise AI, adding admin controls and API management alongside catalog growth. The Unified integrations business keeps getting steady correctness fixes rather than new categories.
◆ Prediction
Expect more connectors and same-week model additions in Gateway, plus more management-API coverage; pricing or packaging changes are not visible in the entries.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet's beta adds data source folders, database environments and git sync for workflows.
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs two release lines: an LTS track that took AI Builder releases 4 and 5 and a custom-component CLI in late October, and a beta track that moves faster. Beta v3.21.87 on November 2 adds folders for data sources, environments for ToolJet Database, and git sync for workflows. The same release closes several tenant-isolation bugs, including an IDOR in page and component lookups and imports that trusted a client-supplied organization ID.
◆ Where it's heading
The beta line is filling in the structure larger teams need, with environments, folders, version control and permission scopes, while the LTS line absorbs AI Builder releases a few days at a time. The security fixes in the same beta point to an audit of multi-tenant boundaries.
◆ Prediction
Expect the beta's environments, folders and tenant-isolation fixes to reach the LTS line in a coming patch, as AI Builder releases did in October.
