ITFlow vs Formbricks: at a glance
What is ITFlow?
ITFlow 26.11 makes contracts drive SLAs, rates and billing for MSPs
ITFlow runs an MSP on one open-source stack and ships a dated release almost every month. 26.11 is a big release by its own description, with nearly seventy database steps: contracts now set each client's SLAs, hourly rates and net terms, renew themselves, can be sent for signature and can hold prepaid hours. Clients lose their own rates, which move into a 'Standard terms' contract during the update. The release also adds trips and mileage, product stock tracking, billable expenses and configurable payment reminders. 26.10 added a draft-for-review option on recurring invoices.
What is Formbricks?
Formbricks 6.2 candidate two fixes Helm installs and response filters before stable.
Formbricks' 6.0 cycle renamed Unify to Analyze and added MCP OAuth, and 6.1 added the v3 responses API. 6.2.0-rc.1 brought data retention policies and shared show-conditions; rc.2 on November 12 is mostly fixes: fresh Helm installs with bundled PostgreSQL, Valkey templates across upgrades, consistent multi-status response filters and a themed signature pad. It also exposes embedded-data keys in chart pickers and includes a Cube config change for custom database roles.

ITFlow 26.11 makes contracts drive SLAs, rates and billing for MSPs
◆ Current state
ITFlow runs an MSP on one open-source stack and ships a dated release almost every month. 26.11 is a big release by its own description, with nearly seventy database steps: contracts now set each client's SLAs, hourly rates and net terms, renew themselves, can be sent for signature and can hold prepaid hours. Clients lose their own rates, which move into a 'Standard terms' contract during the update. The release also adds trips and mileage, product stock tracking, billable expenses and configurable payment reminders. 26.10 added a draft-for-review option on recurring invoices.
◆ Where it's heading
ITFlow is moving from ticketing and documentation toward a full PSA where the contract is the source of billing and service terms. The billing side has been the focus for two releases, after a year of mail and category work.
◆ Prediction
Follow-up point releases fixing the 26.11 migration are likely given its size; the notes themselves ask admins to review contracts after updating.
Formbricks
5.0SUPPORT
Formbricks 6.2 candidate two fixes Helm installs and response filters before stable.
◆ Current state
Formbricks' 6.0 cycle renamed Unify to Analyze and added MCP OAuth, and 6.1 added the v3 responses API. 6.2.0-rc.1 brought data retention policies and shared show-conditions; rc.2 on November 12 is mostly fixes: fresh Helm installs with bundled PostgreSQL, Valkey templates across upgrades, consistent multi-status response filters and a themed signature pad. It also exposes embedded-data keys in chart pickers and includes a Cube config change for custom database roles.
◆ Where it's heading
Formbricks keeps building controls for larger self-hosted customers, retention rules and scoped APIs, while much of each candidate goes to its Helm and Compose packaging. The feed still shows release candidates rather than stable tags.
◆ Prediction
Expect one or two more 6.2 candidates of deployment fixes before a stable 6.2.0, likely within two weeks given the rc.1 to rc.2 gap.
