Deskpro vs DoneDone: at a glance
What is Deskpro?
Deskpro 2026.5 turns to accessibility after a year of AI governance work.
Deskpro ships large releases every two to three months. From 2025.6 onward each release has focused on private and governed AI: own-infrastructure models, selective re-indexing, more model choices and server-side datasource access in 2026.4. 2026.5 in October shifts to improving screen reader and keyboard support across agent and admin interfaces, and speeding up snippets and tickets.
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.

Deskpro
2.5SUPPORT
Deskpro 2026.5 turns to accessibility after a year of AI governance work.
◆ Current state
Deskpro ships large releases every two to three months. From 2025.6 onward each release has focused on private and governed AI: own-infrastructure models, selective re-indexing, more model choices and server-side datasource access in 2026.4. 2026.5 in October shifts to improving screen reader and keyboard support across agent and admin interfaces, and speeding up snippets and tickets.
◆ Where it's heading
With the AI controls in place, Deskpro is now working on the core help desk experience. The release cadence has stayed steady at roughly two months.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2026.6 around December; whether it returns to AI features or continues on accessibility is unclear.
DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
◆ Current state
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.
◆ Where it's heading
After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
◆ Prediction
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.
