FluentCRM vs Salesflare
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
FluentCRM's 3.0 rewrite adds SMS, AI authoring, and an MCP server
FluentCRM just shipped 3.0, a ground-up rewrite on Vue 3 with a Gutenberg-native email builder, SMS marketing, AI email authoring and summaries, an MCP server for AI agents, a new dashboard, and dark mode. The releases leading up to it were steady maintenance, hotfixes plus incremental WooCommerce and FluentCart integration work and reporting improvements.
The product is moving from a WordPress email-marketing plugin toward a broader, AI-assisted, multi-channel CRM. SMS and the MCP server in particular push it beyond email and into agent-driven workflows.
Expect 3.x point releases stabilizing the rewrite, plus deeper SMS and AI build-out now that the foundation has shipped.
Salesflare ships AI-import and an MCP connector to ChatGPT and Claude, amid heavy 'best CRM' SEO output.
The feed is dominated by 'best CRM' listicles (many published the same day) but the lead entry is a genuine product release: bulk-create for opportunities and accounts, AI-assisted import mapping with date normalization, and an MCP connection exposing Salesflare to ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools.
The product direction is toward faster data entry and, more notably, making the CRM addressable by external LLM agents via MCP — opening the pipeline to agentic workflows. Around that, Salesflare runs a high-volume comparison-content SEO engine.
Expect the MCP/agent integration to deepen (more actions exposed to LLMs) alongside continued AI-import refinements; the SEO listicle cadence will likely persist independently of product work.
