OctoPrint vs ToolJet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of OctoPrint and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
OctoPrint vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is OctoPrint?
OctoPrint 2.0 is on its seventh release candidate, still with no final date.
OctoPrint 2.0 makes serial one connector among several, including Moonraker and Bambu, and removes deprecated plugin APIs. Release candidates have arrived every few weeks since April: rc5 in August fixed config and schema regressions, and rc6 and rc7 in October carried only the standard warning that a candidate may need a manual downgrade.
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.

OctoPrint
5.0INFRA · APIS
OctoPrint 2.0 is on its seventh release candidate, still with no final date.
◆ Current state
OctoPrint 2.0 makes serial one connector among several, including Moonraker and Bambu, and removes deprecated plugin APIs. Release candidates have arrived every few weeks since April: rc5 in August fixed config and schema regressions, and rc6 and rc7 in October carried only the standard warning that a candidate may need a manual downgrade.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.0 line is in a long stabilisation, with each candidate fixing regressions and asking testers to cover the new connectors. The thin notes on rc6 and rc7 suggest the remaining changes are small.
◆ Prediction
A 2.0.0 final is likely within a few candidates; the exact date is unclear from 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.
