A side-by-side editorial comparison of Infobip and Formbricks — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Infobip vs Formbricks: at a glance
What is Infobip?
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
What is Formbricks?
Formbricks 6.0 RC cycle reveals commercial hardening: lower self-hosted cap, MCP OAuth, and Act as Beta
Formbricks is deep in the 6.0 release candidate cycle, with rc.5 landing today. The rc.1 drop was the meaningful one: the platform renamed its analytics module (Unify → Analyze), promoted Act to Beta status, lowered the unlicensed self-hosted workspace cap from unlimited to 1, and added MCP OAuth support. The 5.x maintenance branch is receiving parallel SSO and Redis fixes. The combined picture is a product tightening its commercial model ahead of a major version.

A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
◆ Current state
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.

Formbricks 6.0 RC cycle reveals commercial hardening: lower self-hosted cap, MCP OAuth, and Act as Beta
◆ Current state
Formbricks is deep in the 6.0 release candidate cycle, with rc.5 landing today. The rc.1 drop was the meaningful one: the platform renamed its analytics module (Unify → Analyze), promoted Act to Beta status, lowered the unlicensed self-hosted workspace cap from unlimited to 1, and added MCP OAuth support. The 5.x maintenance branch is receiving parallel SSO and Redis fixes. The combined picture is a product tightening its commercial model ahead of a major version.
◆ Where it's heading
Formbricks is moving from open-source survey tool toward a commercially-gated platform with a more restricted self-hosted tier. The workspace cap reduction, contacts entitlement gating, and enrichment status indicators signal a deliberate push toward cloud and licensed deployments. The MCP OAuth addition keeps it relevant to AI tooling. The 6.0 release will likely formalize the Analyze/Act module split as the product's positioning around feedback intelligence, not just survey collection.
◆ Prediction
6.0 stable release is imminent given the rapid rc cycle. Expect commercial tier differentiation (Act features gated on license) to become clearer once the stable drops, and for the self-hosted community to feel the workspace cap immediately.
