Easy!Appointments vs Snov.io

Easy!Appointments vs Snov.io: at a glance
What is Easy!Appointments?
Easy!Appointments 1.6 lands video conferencing, GDPR tools, and a serious security overhaul across its CalDAV and booking stack.
Easy!Appointments, an open-source self-hosted scheduler, is shipping its 1.6 major version through a long pre-release cycle that has introduced Jitsi and Google Meet integration, CAPTCHA and ALTCHA anti-abuse protection, GDPR features, and a rebuilt CalDAV synchronization stack. The 1.6.1 security hardening pre-release then landed a concentrated batch of serious vulnerability fixes: LDAP injection in directory search, SSRF in CalDAV URL handling, cross-account appointment takeover, provider credential exposure to secretary accounts, and CAPTCHA bypass — a set that suggests the expanded surface area of 1.6.0 brought corresponding security debt.
What is Snov.io?
Snov.io's October update brings LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant.
Snov.io spent 2026 adding ChatGPT and Claude integrations, an n8n node, company enrichment, AI web enrichment and, in September, an AI message writer. The October roundup headlines LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant. Update posts in this feed are short summaries, so feature detail is thin.
Easy!Appointments vs Snov.io: editorial side-by-side
Easy!Appointments 1.6 lands video conferencing, GDPR tools, and a serious security overhaul across its CalDAV and booking stack.
◆ Current state
Easy!Appointments, an open-source self-hosted scheduler, is shipping its 1.6 major version through a long pre-release cycle that has introduced Jitsi and Google Meet integration, CAPTCHA and ALTCHA anti-abuse protection, GDPR features, and a rebuilt CalDAV synchronization stack. The 1.6.1 security hardening pre-release then landed a concentrated batch of serious vulnerability fixes: LDAP injection in directory search, SSRF in CalDAV URL handling, cross-account appointment takeover, provider credential exposure to secretary accounts, and CAPTCHA bypass — a set that suggests the expanded surface area of 1.6.0 brought corresponding security debt.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.6 release line is expanding Easy!Appointments from a simple booking page into a more complete scheduling platform: video conferencing links, richer calendar sync, GDPR compliance tooling, and hardened multi-provider access controls all move it closer to commercial alternatives. The security work in 1.6.1-beta.1 is as important as the features — self-hosted deployments that serve real customer data need these fixes before anyone should run 1.6 in production.
◆ Prediction
A stable 1.6.1 release is the next step, clearing the pre-release label once the security fixes are confirmed across the beta testing community. After that, the CalDAV and video conferencing integrations will likely expand — CalDAV push notifications or two-way Google Calendar sync are the natural follow-ons.
Snov.io
5.0CRM
Snov.io's October update brings LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant.
◆ Current state
Snov.io spent 2026 adding ChatGPT and Claude integrations, an n8n node, company enrichment, AI web enrichment and, in September, an AI message writer. The October roundup headlines LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant. Update posts in this feed are short summaries, so feature detail is thin.
◆ Where it's heading
The year's arc runs from data (enrichment, bulk email search) toward AI that acts on it (writer, assistant), with LinkedIn tooling refreshed alongside. Monthly roundups remain the release vehicle.
◆ Prediction
Expect November's roundup to extend the AI Assistant into more of the outreach workflow; the entries are too brief to say which parts.
