EGroupware vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of EGroupware and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
EGroupware vs Teable: at a glance
What is EGroupware?
EGroupware's November release pairs critical security fixes with full Stalwart mail-server support.
EGroupware ships a 26.x release every week or two, and almost every one carries security fixes; the 12 November release is flagged with multiple critical ones. That release also adds full Stalwart v1.0 support with account syncing, ends all other sessions when a password is changed or reset, and makes printing long lists about 10x faster. The 23.1 branch closed on 21 October, so 26 is now the only supported line.
What is Teable?
Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.
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.

EGroupware
5.0COLLAB
EGroupware's November release pairs critical security fixes with full Stalwart mail-server support.
◆ Current state
EGroupware ships a 26.x release every week or two, and almost every one carries security fixes; the 12 November release is flagged with multiple critical ones. That release also adds full Stalwart v1.0 support with account syncing, ends all other sessions when a password is changed or reset, and makes printing long lists about 10x faster. The 23.1 branch closed on 21 October, so 26 is now the only supported line.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the autumn releases: a steady stream of security patches and continued mail work (unseen mail on top, large-recipient warnings, invoice OCR, now Stalwart). The UI is also being modernised, with edit dialogs moving off tables to responsive layouts. The Stalwart integration points to EGroupware pairing itself with a specific self-hosted mail server rather than staying a generic IMAP client.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next 26.x release within two weeks with more security fixes, and further Stalwart-related mail features following the v1.0 integration.
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.
