Capacities vs Teable: editorial side-by-side
Capacities
5.0COLLAB
Capacities rebuilds its tablet app and moves audio recording down to Pro.
◆ Current state
Capacities ships a named release about monthly. November's rebuilds the iPad and Android tablet app, moves audio recording and analysis into the Pro plan, and starts reminders in early testing for Believer subscribers. October added whiteboards and a global graph view, and September brought audio transcription and AI chats that can edit objects.
◆ Where it's heading
Capacities keeps a pattern of trialling features with Believers and then moving them down to Pro, as it did with bulk import, image analysis and now audio. The tablet rebuild suggests more attention to devices beyond desktop.
◆ Prediction
Reminders will likely leave Believer-only testing in a coming monthly release and move toward Pro, following the audio path.
Teable
8.8COLLAB
Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.
◆ Current state
Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.
◆ Where it's heading
Teable is making its agent-facing pieces (queries, CLI, Routines) consistent with the rest of the product: query expressions now reuse formula syntax, and CLI commands are regrouped with old ones deprecated. Templates with guided setup point toward packaging finished apps for others to install.
◆ Prediction
Expect the deprecated standalone CLI commands to be removed in the next release, as announced, and more template and app-sharing features built on the new guides.
