HumHub vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of HumHub and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
HumHub vs Teable: at a glance
What is HumHub?
HumHub's public feed carries only betas, and 1.19's is still about surviving the upgrade.
The four releases visible here are all pre-release: 1.19.0-beta.2 and beta.1, and 1.18.0-beta.6 and beta.5 before them. The 1.19 line is dominated by upgrade-path and data-integrity repair — a foreign key violation aborting the comment content_id migration on databases with orphaned rows, fatal errors when purging content whose underlying record was gone, and in beta.2 a fatal SCSS build loop left behind when the 1.19 move of static/themes into protected/humhub stranded an empty theme skeleton. Beta.2 also fixes a real leak: activities from private spaces appearing in the summary mail and dashboard of users holding only a pending invite or join request.
What is Teable?
Teable adds Composio integration and Scheduled Routines, pivoting from spreadsheet to agentic workflow platform.
Teable has moved well past its initial positioning as an Airtable alternative. In the past week alone it shipped admin-configured AI model tiers, an AI-powered App Builder with preset prompts, Composio integration for hundreds of third-party apps, and Scheduled Routines for agent task automation. The product is now simultaneously a structured database, an AI chat interface, a scraping platform, and an automation hub.

HumHub
5.0COLLAB
HumHub's public feed carries only betas, and 1.19's is still about surviving the upgrade.
◆ Current state
The four releases visible here are all pre-release: 1.19.0-beta.2 and beta.1, and 1.18.0-beta.6 and beta.5 before them. The 1.19 line is dominated by upgrade-path and data-integrity repair — a foreign key violation aborting the comment content_id migration on databases with orphaned rows, fatal errors when purging content whose underlying record was gone, and in beta.2 a fatal SCSS build loop left behind when the 1.19 move of static/themes into protected/humhub stranded an empty theme skeleton. Beta.2 also fixes a real leak: activities from private spaces appearing in the summary mail and dashboard of users holding only a pending invite or join request.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.19 cycle is being spent making the migration survivable on real installations rather than adding capability, which is the usual shape when a schema and directory-layout change meets databases and webroots that have accumulated years of drift. Beta.2 extends that into the installer itself, where an unreachable database was offering to re-set-up a live instance during a transient outage. The permission and visibility fixes point the same way: tightening authorisation and content boundaries is cleanup of an existing model, not an extension of it.
◆ Prediction
Only beta tags appear in this feed, so a 1.19.0 stable is the obvious next milestone, but nothing here dates it. The beta.1-to-beta.2 gap of about a month is a faster rhythm than the roughly six months between the 1.18 and 1.19 betas.
Teable
7.5COLLAB
Teable adds Composio integration and Scheduled Routines, pivoting from spreadsheet to agentic workflow platform.
◆ Current state
Teable has moved well past its initial positioning as an Airtable alternative. In the past week alone it shipped admin-configured AI model tiers, an AI-powered App Builder with preset prompts, Composio integration for hundreds of third-party apps, and Scheduled Routines for agent task automation. The product is now simultaneously a structured database, an AI chat interface, a scraping platform, and an automation hub.
◆ Where it's heading
The Composio integration is the clearest directional signal: connecting to hundreds of OAuth apps turns Teable into a workflow automation competitor to Zapier and Make, not just a database tool. Combine that with Scheduled Routines (agent task scheduling with run history) and Admin AI model tiers (centralized model governance for multi-tenant deployments), and Teable is building the infrastructure for enterprise agentic workflows on top of a structured data layer.
◆ Prediction
Composio connection depth will expand rapidly — expect billing around automation runs and connected app counts within 2–3 months. The retired Gmail/Outlook native connections (replaced by IMAP) suggest Teable is offloading email infrastructure to focus on the higher-value workflow and AI layers.
