Snipe-IT vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is Snipe-IT?
Snipe-IT re-tags 8.8 within minutes to ship Alpine's patched PHP in its Docker image.
Snipe-IT is a self-hosted IT asset manager whose latest visible release, v8.8.3, is a rebuild for Docker Alpine users after Alpine published patched PHP versions minutes after 8.8.2 went out. It also removes PHP 8.4/8.5 deprecation notices. The project now requires PHP 8.2 and recommends 8.4.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

Snipe-IT
2.5INFRA · APIS
Snipe-IT re-tags 8.8 within minutes to ship Alpine's patched PHP in its Docker image.
◆ Current state
Snipe-IT is a self-hosted IT asset manager whose latest visible release, v8.8.3, is a rebuild for Docker Alpine users after Alpine published patched PHP versions minutes after 8.8.2 went out. It also removes PHP 8.4/8.5 deprecation notices. The project now requires PHP 8.2 and recommends 8.4.
◆ Where it's heading
The release notes say upcoming features will require PHP 8.3 or newer, so the runtime floor is about to rise again. For now the cadence is maintenance and security hygiene on the 8.8 line.
◆ Prediction
With only one entry visible, the next move is unclear beyond a likely minimum PHP bump to 8.3 tied to new features.
ToolJet
6.3INFRA · APIS
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
◆ Current state
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
