ZenTao vs Fibery: at a glance
What is ZenTao?
ZenTao posts a 22.0 beta with no notes in the feed.
The only tracked ZenTao entry is the 22.0 beta tag from October 21. It links to a changelog file in the repository and contains no description of what changed.
What is Fibery?

Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates.

ZenTao vs Fibery: editorial side-by-side
ZenTao
2.5PM
ZenTao posts a 22.0 beta with no notes in the feed.
◆ Current state
The only tracked ZenTao entry is the 22.0 beta tag from October 21. It links to a changelog file in the repository and contains no description of what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
A beta of a new major version suggests a larger release is in progress, but nothing in the feed says what it contains.
◆ Prediction
Unclear: the entry does not show what 22.0 changes or when a stable version will follow.
Fibery
6.3PM
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
◆ Current state
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery alternates big AI releases (AI agent, Custom Apps, AI-built integrations) with polish weeks. Making MCP setup a first-class setting shows it expects outside agents to work in Fibery as much as its own.
◆ Prediction
The pricing decision on AI Connectors is due by year end; MCP-based connector creation is still the open item from October.
