SOGo vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of SOGo and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.

SOGo vs Teable: at a glance
What is SOGo?
SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.
SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.
What is Teable?
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.
◆ Current state
SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a codebase whose input-handling surface is being systematically probed, largely by the community reporting to the project's bug address, and patched in batches. Release numbering has stopped being reliable as a timeline — 5.12.7 shipped after 5.12.8 — so version order tells you nothing about what a deployment contains. The two non-security releases in this window were both regression repairs from the security releases that preceded them, which is the cost of shipping fixes at this cadence.
◆ Prediction
Given four security batches in five months and CVE identifiers still being assigned retroactively, another batch on the same cadence is the most likely next release, with a regression patch following it.
Teable
6.3COLLAB
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
◆ Current state
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
