OTOBO vs OneUptime: at a glance
What is OTOBO?
OTOBO 11.1 leaves beta with 11.1.1, after three betas since June.
OTOBO tagged 11.1.1 on Oct 26, the first non-beta 11.1 release in the feed after betas in June, July and September; no 11.1.0 final appears. Releases come as bare GitHub tags without notes, so what 11.1 changes isn't visible here. The project also maintains the 11.0 and 10.1 branches.
What is OneUptime?
OneUptime adds guided setups; Ask AI now builds a monitor, paging and status page from a sentence.
OneUptime shipped 14.0.108 and 14.0.109 on November 12 and 13. 14.0.109 has 229 changes, many of them translations, but adds guided setups from a website address to a tested page, test pages without an incident, revoked SSL certificate checks, and Ask AI that sets up a monitor, paging and a status page from one sentence after a single approval. 14.0.108 put table lineage into alerts, Ask AI, Slack and MCP, and added saved funnels and retention for product analytics.

OTOBO
2.5IT-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT
OTOBO 11.1 leaves beta with 11.1.1, after three betas since June.
◆ Current state
OTOBO tagged 11.1.1 on Oct 26, the first non-beta 11.1 release in the feed after betas in June, July and September; no 11.1.0 final appears. Releases come as bare GitHub tags without notes, so what 11.1 changes isn't visible here. The project also maintains the 11.0 and 10.1 branches.
◆ Where it's heading
OTOBO has released in batches across three branches (10.1, 11.0, 11.1 beta) roughly every two months. With 11.1 now on a patch number, upcoming batches should treat 11.1 as the main line while 11.0 and 10.1 get maintenance patches.
◆ Prediction
Expect 11.1.2 alongside 11.0.19 and 10.1.20 in the next batch. Whether 10.1 support ends now that 11.1 is out is unclear from the entries.
OneUptime
5.0IT-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT
OneUptime adds guided setups; Ask AI now builds a monitor, paging and status page from a sentence.
◆ Current state
OneUptime shipped 14.0.108 and 14.0.109 on November 12 and 13. 14.0.109 has 229 changes, many of them translations, but adds guided setups from a website address to a tested page, test pages without an incident, revoked SSL certificate checks, and Ask AI that sets up a monitor, paging and a status page from one sentence after a single approval. 14.0.108 put table lineage into alerts, Ask AI, Slack and MCP, and added saved funnels and retention for product analytics.
◆ Where it's heading
After a week of adding new modules, the latest releases focus on first-hour setup: guided flows, setup health checks, a server doctor command and importers from PagerDuty and UptimeRobot. The AI work is moving from explaining incidents to configuring the product. The release pace stays at several large releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More guided setups and AI-driven configuration across the remaining modules are likely, along with continued translation sweeps.
