Sleekplan vs Formbricks
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Sleekplan and Formbricks — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Sleekplan vs Formbricks: at a glance
What is Sleekplan?
Sleekplan is shipping enterprise-grade B2B features at speed: SCIM, account-level feedback groups, and internal product documentation in a single sprint.
Sleekplan has entered a period of rapid enterprise feature development following its 2.0 rebuild in June. The recent wave includes SCIM directory sync (Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin), account-level Groups that reweight feedback by company rather than individual user counts, identity privacy controls for public boards, internal-only status visibility, Components as a second taxonomy axis, and internal Documents for PRDs and decision records. This is not incremental polish — each addition addresses a distinct enterprise sales objection.
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.

Sleekplan
8.8SUPPORT
Sleekplan is shipping enterprise-grade B2B features at speed: SCIM, account-level feedback groups, and internal product documentation in a single sprint.
◆ Current state
Sleekplan has entered a period of rapid enterprise feature development following its 2.0 rebuild in June. The recent wave includes SCIM directory sync (Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin), account-level Groups that reweight feedback by company rather than individual user counts, identity privacy controls for public boards, internal-only status visibility, Components as a second taxonomy axis, and internal Documents for PRDs and decision records. This is not incremental polish — each addition addresses a distinct enterprise sales objection.
◆ Where it's heading
Sleekplan is systematically closing the gap between a startup-friendly feedback tool and something IT and procurement teams can approve at mid-market and enterprise accounts. SCIM removes the manual provisioning burden, Groups make the feedback data credible for B2B prioritization decisions, and Documents keep the reasoning inside the tool rather than scattered across Notion or Confluence. The trajectory is clear: become the product feedback system of record for B2B SaaS teams.
◆ Prediction
SSO (SAML) and role-based access controls are the next likely additions to complete the enterprise security checklist, and Groups will likely gain weighting by contract value (ARR) once customers start requesting customer-revenue-aware prioritization.

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.
