A side-by-side editorial comparison of Corteza and Wealthbox — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Corteza vs Wealthbox: at a glance
What is Corteza?
Corteza 2026.9.0 goes final after a week of single-fix candidates.
Corteza shipped 2026.9.0 on October 19, closing a run of release candidates that each fixed one edge: MySQL 8 cast checks in rc.4, deny rules in permission reports in rc.5 and MySQL-compatible reminder timestamps in rc.6. The release entry only links to the 2026.9 changelog. Before this, the feed was a slow patch train on the 2024.9 line, ending at 2024.9.10 in late August.
What is Wealthbox?
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
Corteza vs Wealthbox: editorial side-by-side
Corteza
5.0CRM
Corteza 2026.9.0 goes final after a week of single-fix candidates.
◆ Current state
Corteza shipped 2026.9.0 on October 19, closing a run of release candidates that each fixed one edge: MySQL 8 cast checks in rc.4, deny rules in permission reports in rc.5 and MySQL-compatible reminder timestamps in rc.6. The release entry only links to the 2026.9 changelog. Before this, the feed was a slow patch train on the 2024.9 line, ending at 2024.9.10 in late August.
◆ Where it's heading
The jump from 2024.9 to 2026.9 opens a new major line after two years on the old one. Two of the final three fixes targeted MySQL, which suggests the release was validated across database backends. What the new line adds for users still isn't visible in the feed.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2026.9.x patch releases to follow the same pattern as 2024.9, with occasional fixes over months. Whether 2024.9 keeps receiving patches is unclear from the entries.
Wealthbox
7.5CRM
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
◆ Current state
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
◆ Where it's heading
Wealthbox has moved from an assistant that answers questions to agents that do work, while charging for storage and compliance rather than AI. Partner integrations through the Developer Portal give those agents more data to act on.
◆ Prediction
Expect agents that use partner data from Holistiplan or Nitrogen, and more prebuilt agents; the entries do not list the 24 or the build tools in detail.
