FusionPBX vs Switcher Studio: at a glance
What is FusionPBX?
The release feed stops in 2018, so nothing here describes the current product
Every visible entry predates 2019. The newest is 4.4.1, a minor bug-fix release covering call centre login, device password propagation and call detail record naming. Below it sit 4.4.0 with user change logs, call recording management, QR-code provisioning and added translations, and two 4.2.x releases focused on bug fixes and SQL injection hardening in LUA scripts.
What is Switcher Studio?
Switcher Studio's feed adds sports-graphics and AI-workflow guides, still no new feature.
No product feature has appeared since Instant Replay in August. On 9 November two more blog guides went up, on live sports graphics and on using AI in a video workflow, following October posts on automation, equipment and Instagram Live multicam. The product remains a mobile live production app used by churches, schools and sports organizations.

◆ Current state
Every visible entry predates 2019. The newest is 4.4.1, a minor bug-fix release covering call centre login, device password propagation and call detail record naming. Below it sit 4.4.0 with user change logs, call recording management, QR-code provisioning and added translations, and two 4.2.x releases focused on bug fixes and SQL injection hardening in LUA scripts.
◆ Where it's heading
What the archive shows is a project that treated security hardening as release-worthy in its own right and steadily broadened administrative tooling around FreeSWITCH. What it cannot show is anything about the last several years — the feed has been silent since 2018, so no current direction is observable.
◆ Prediction
There is not enough recent data to predict a next move. Until this feed carries releases again, the product's current state is unreadable from here.
Switcher Studio
5.0MEETINGS
Switcher Studio's feed adds sports-graphics and AI-workflow guides, still no new feature.
◆ Current state
No product feature has appeared since Instant Replay in August. On 9 November two more blog guides went up, on live sports graphics and on using AI in a video workflow, following October posts on automation, equipment and Instagram Live multicam. The product remains a mobile live production app used by churches, schools and sports organizations.
◆ Where it's heading
Content has widened from sports and NDI setups toward Instagram Live and short-form video, which may point to a broader audience or simply to search topics. Instant Replay remains the only product move on record in this window.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident call on the next feature. Multicam for Instagram Live is the theme most repeated in October's posts.
