What is CRM-service?

A steady, unflashy CRM grinding out monthly quality-of-life features across campaigns and billing.

This CRM ships disciplined monthly release notes, each a bundle of incremental feature and workflow improvements rather than headline launches. Recent work centers on campaign logic (AND/OR condition groups, relative date conditions), record management (inline related-entity editing, duplicate merging), and billing automation (invoice payment status).

What is Twenty?

Twenty's sprint through v2.39-v2.40 stabilizes yarn pull and relicenses UI components as MIT.

Twenty is in a rapid patch cadence — multiple releases per day — focused on two parallel workstreams: hardening the yarn twenty pull code-sync command and cleaning up a licensing inconsistency. The twenty-ui package has been republished under MIT to resolve a stale AGPL dependency that blocked commercial use of the UI component library. Most patches are internal infrastructure fixes.

CRM-service vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side

C0.0

A steady, unflashy CRM grinding out monthly quality-of-life features across campaigns and billing.

◆ Current state

This CRM ships disciplined monthly release notes, each a bundle of incremental feature and workflow improvements rather than headline launches. Recent work centers on campaign logic (AND/OR condition groups, relative date conditions), record management (inline related-entity editing, duplicate merging), and billing automation (invoice payment status).

◆ Where it's heading

The product is maturing along predictable CRM lines: richer segmentation and campaign conditions, less context-switching in the record view, and automation of routine back-office tasks like invoicing and deduplication. There is no directional pivot here — it is consistent breadth-filling that closes gaps against larger CRMs one month at a time.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued campaign-logic depth and record-management convenience features, with more billing and data-hygiene automation following the invoice-status and duplicate-merge work.

T10.0

Twenty's sprint through v2.39-v2.40 stabilizes yarn pull and relicenses UI components as MIT.

◆ Current state

Twenty is in a rapid patch cadence — multiple releases per day — focused on two parallel workstreams: hardening the yarn twenty pull code-sync command and cleaning up a licensing inconsistency. The twenty-ui package has been republished under MIT to resolve a stale AGPL dependency that blocked commercial use of the UI component library. Most patches are internal infrastructure fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The yarn twenty pull feature (write an installed application back to source code) is the main forward-looking investment in this window. The v2.40.0 fix completing the 'not exported yet' list shows this feature is being actively hardened for production use. With the MIT relicense of the UI components, the conditions for third-party developers building on top of Twenty's frontend are cleaner.

◆ Prediction

The pull/export workflow will reach stability around v2.41-v2.42, with export coverage for the currently unsupported types (roles, permissions, logic functions) arriving in subsequent patches. The MIT relicense may accelerate third-party component usage once it propagates through dependent registries.
