A side-by-side editorial comparison of Formbricks and Tiledesk — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Formbricks 6.0 RC cycle reveals commercial hardening: lower self-hosted cap, MCP OAuth, and Act as Beta
Formbricks is deep in the 6.0 release candidate cycle, with rc.5 landing today. The rc.1 drop was the meaningful one: the platform renamed its analytics module (Unify → Analyze), promoted Act to Beta status, lowered the unlicensed self-hosted workspace cap from unlimited to 1, and added MCP OAuth support. The 5.x maintenance branch is receiving parallel SSO and Redis fixes. The combined picture is a product tightening its commercial model ahead of a major version.
Tiledesk's feed is a content marketing blog, not a changelog
The Tiledesk feed carries marketing articles rather than release notes — how-to pieces on building AI agents for lead qualification, time-off approvals and ecommerce sales advice, each syndicated with an Italian boilerplate footer. No version numbers, shipped features or dated releases appear anywhere in the window.

Formbricks is moving from open-source survey tool toward a commercially-gated platform with a more restricted self-hosted tier. The workspace cap reduction, contacts entitlement gating, and enrichment status indicators signal a deliberate push toward cloud and licensed deployments. The MCP OAuth addition keeps it relevant to AI tooling. The 6.0 release will likely formalize the Analyze/Act module split as the product's positioning around feedback intelligence, not just survey collection.
6.0 stable release is imminent given the rapid rc cycle. Expect commercial tier differentiation (Act features gated on license) to become clearer once the stable drops, and for the self-hosted community to feel the workspace cap immediately.

The publishing pattern points at where Tiledesk positions itself — agentic workflows with human approval steps, MCP-based tool access, self-learning from human resolutions — but positioning is all these posts establish. Product movement would have to be read from a different source.
Expect more of the same use-case articles; this feed will not indicate when Tiledesk actually ships anything.
