A side-by-side editorial comparison of Easy!Appointments and Revenuegrid — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Easy!Appointments 1.6 lands video conferencing, GDPR tools, and a serious security overhaul across its CalDAV and booking stack.
Easy!Appointments, an open-source self-hosted scheduler, is shipping its 1.6 major version through a long pre-release cycle that has introduced Jitsi and Google Meet integration, CAPTCHA and ALTCHA anti-abuse protection, GDPR features, and a rebuilt CalDAV synchronization stack. The 1.6.1 security hardening pre-release then landed a concentrated batch of serious vulnerability fixes: LDAP injection in directory search, SSRF in CalDAV URL handling, cross-account appointment takeover, provider credential exposure to secretary accounts, and CAPTCHA bypass — a set that suggests the expanded surface area of 1.6.0 brought corresponding security debt.
Revenue Grid's changelog feed is dominated by site chrome and a 2024 analyst-report citation — limited product motion is visible.
The available entries for Revenue Grid are mostly site-chrome scrape artifacts (cookie banners, navigation labels, page category fragments) plus a single analyst-report headline naming Revenue Grid a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Revenue Intelligence Platforms 2024 assessment. There are no clearly product-bearing changelog entries in this window.

The 1.6 release line is expanding Easy!Appointments from a simple booking page into a more complete scheduling platform: video conferencing links, richer calendar sync, GDPR compliance tooling, and hardened multi-provider access controls all move it closer to commercial alternatives. The security work in 1.6.1-beta.1 is as important as the features — self-hosted deployments that serve real customer data need these fixes before anyone should run 1.6 in production.
A stable 1.6.1 release is the next step, clearing the pre-release label once the security fixes are confirmed across the beta testing community. After that, the CalDAV and video conferencing integrations will likely expand — CalDAV push notifications or two-way Google Calendar sync are the natural follow-ons.
The available entries for Revenue Grid are mostly site-chrome scrape artifacts (cookie banners, navigation labels, page category fragments) plus a single analyst-report headline naming Revenue Grid a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Revenue Intelligence Platforms 2024 assessment. There are no clearly product-bearing changelog entries in this window.
Without first-party release notes coming through, the most concrete signal is the IDC MarketScape recognition — which positions Revenue Grid in the broader revenue-intelligence category alongside the established analytics-and-coaching vendors. Whatever shipping is happening underneath isn't reaching the changelog surface this scraper is reading, so it's hard to confidently call a trajectory.
Until a real release feed is available it would be speculative to predict specific moves. The most likely near-term observable outcome is a feed-source change or improved scraping that surfaces real product-update entries — at which point the analyst-report framing should be replaced with concrete shipping commentary.
