Nautobot vs ToolJet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Nautobot and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Nautobot vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is Nautobot?
Nautobot 3.3 alpha 2 adds test helpers and a cable location filter after 3.2.9's token-leak fix.
Nautobot's 3.2 and 2.4 lines still ship same-day security releases every two weeks; on November 9 v3.2.9 and v2.4.46 fixed a flaw where the Export Object List job let users read other users' API token keys. The 3.3 feature line opened the same day with REST API rate limiting and JSON and YAML exports. v3.3.0a2 on November 13 mostly adds Playwright helpers for App test suites, along with a location filter on the cable connection form and a fix for a login page that reloaded every 15 seconds.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet tags 3.21 as LTS, carrying the beta line's widget and token work to stable.
ToolJet runs an LTS track and a faster beta track. 3.20 LTS releases changed first-run onboarding to an auto-started trial and AI prompt and locked released versions against API edits. On November 13 the 3.21 line got its first LTS tag, v3.21.96-lts, which brings the beta's pagination events, workspace-wide token revocation, progress-widget bindings and widget stability fixes to stable installs along with the 3.20 LTS changes.

Nautobot
5.0INFRA · APIS
Nautobot 3.3 alpha 2 adds test helpers and a cable location filter after 3.2.9's token-leak fix.
◆ Current state
Nautobot's 3.2 and 2.4 lines still ship same-day security releases every two weeks; on November 9 v3.2.9 and v2.4.46 fixed a flaw where the Export Object List job let users read other users' API token keys. The 3.3 feature line opened the same day with REST API rate limiting and JSON and YAML exports. v3.3.0a2 on November 13 mostly adds Playwright helpers for App test suites, along with a location filter on the cable connection form and a fix for a login page that reloaded every 15 seconds.
◆ Where it's heading
3.3 is moving through alphas quickly, four days apart, while the security audit continues on the stable lines. The Playwright helpers suggest Nautobot wants App developers to test against its UI with shared tooling rather than custom scripts.
◆ Prediction
More 3.3 alphas or a beta should follow within weeks, alongside the next pair of 3.2.x and 2.4.x security releases on the two-week rhythm.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet tags 3.21 as LTS, carrying the beta line's widget and token work to stable.
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs an LTS track and a faster beta track. 3.20 LTS releases changed first-run onboarding to an auto-started trial and AI prompt and locked released versions against API edits. On November 13 the 3.21 line got its first LTS tag, v3.21.96-lts, which brings the beta's pagination events, workspace-wide token revocation, progress-widget bindings and widget stability fixes to stable installs along with the 3.20 LTS changes.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.21 line is graduating from beta to LTS after weeks of security scoping, database-pool fixes and widget stability drops. Stable users now get the same admin controls the beta shipped, which narrows the gap between the two tracks.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.20 LTS releases to taper while 3.21 LTS patches carry fixes, and a 3.22 beta line to open for the next AI Builder work.
