Formbricks vs Sleekplan
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Formbricks and Sleekplan — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Formbricks vs Sleekplan: at a glance
What is Formbricks?
The 5.3 line reached stable and immediately dropped into single-fix patch-RC mode.
Formbricks runs three release branches at once — 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 — publishing release candidates almost daily, most carrying a single backported fix. The 5.3 line has moved past its feature RCs: 5.3.0-rc.1 through rc.3 delivered MCP scope corrections, Helm volume extension points and an accessibility pass, and the branch is now on 5.3.4-rc.1, a one-line fix stopping no-overlay surveys from blocking the host page they sit on. Workspace and organization scoping remains the recurring thread, with the contact detail page the latest surface re-tied to its authorizing workspace.
What is Sleekplan?
Sleekplan rebuilt itself around AI triage, then put the feedback board inside ChatGPT.
Releases are infrequent and arrive as monthly digests with truncated bodies, so scope has to be inferred from direction. The June 2.0 rebuild replaced the admin app and added an AI layer for handling feedback; July connects a workspace to ChatGPT, anonymizes identities on public boards, and adds @-mentions to composers. A rebuilt Chrome extension sits between them, aimed at capture from other tools.

Formbricks
5.0SUPPORT
The 5.3 line reached stable and immediately dropped into single-fix patch-RC mode.
◆ Current state
Formbricks runs three release branches at once — 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 — publishing release candidates almost daily, most carrying a single backported fix. The 5.3 line has moved past its feature RCs: 5.3.0-rc.1 through rc.3 delivered MCP scope corrections, Helm volume extension points and an accessibility pass, and the branch is now on 5.3.4-rc.1, a one-line fix stopping no-overlay surveys from blocking the host page they sit on. Workspace and organization scoping remains the recurring thread, with the contact detail page the latest surface re-tied to its authorizing workspace.
◆ Where it's heading
The multi-tenancy audit is still running and still backported everywhere rather than only forward — API keys, surveys, quotas, integrations, response imports and now the contact detail page have each been re-scoped in turn. Alongside it, the agent-facing surface built out in 5.2.0 is being refined rather than extended: the 5.3 MCP work is scope correction, not new capability. With 5.3 now issuing patch RCs a day or two apart, that branch has crossed from feature development into maintenance.
◆ Prediction
Expect 5.3 to keep issuing single-fix patch release candidates while the next feature drop opens a 5.4 line, and 5.1 and 5.2 to continue receiving only security and billing backports.
Sleekplan
6.3SUPPORT
Sleekplan rebuilt itself around AI triage, then put the feedback board inside ChatGPT.
◆ Current state
Releases are infrequent and arrive as monthly digests with truncated bodies, so scope has to be inferred from direction. The June 2.0 rebuild replaced the admin app and added an AI layer for handling feedback; July connects a workspace to ChatGPT, anonymizes identities on public boards, and adds @-mentions to composers. A rebuilt Chrome extension sits between them, aimed at capture from other tools.
◆ Where it's heading
Both ends of the loop are being pushed out of Sleekplan's own interface. Capture moves to the browser extension where support and sales already work; management moves into the assistant a product manager already has open. The Impact Score rework and identity anonymization address the two objections that follow — that prioritization is opaque, and that public boards leak customer identity.
◆ Prediction
Expect the ChatGPT connection to be joined by other assistant surfaces on the same pattern, and the 2.0 beta to reach general availability with the AI triage layer as its headline.
