Hooked CRM vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Hooked CRM?
HookedCRM adds auto-pause on missed calls as its call-floor controls keep tightening.
HookedCRM is an insurance call center CRM that ships a roll-up most weeks. Since the August Quotes feature, October releases added CRM-backed call and lead lists, admin tabs for the leaderboard and quoting, up to five sales per lead, supervisor campaign permissions, a Safe Harbor toggle and automatic agent pause after missed calls.
What is Twenty?
Twenty 2.58 rebuilds CRM permissions down to the row and adds MCP workflow steps.
Twenty 2.58.0 on November 13 rebuilt how access works: role permissions now compile into row-level rules, legacy per-user permissions are gone and the old workflow object is dropped, all flagged as breaking. The same release adds a workflow step that calls MCP tools, self-service two-factor backup codes and stricter SAML checks. Patches 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 then stopped existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO without an invitation first.
Hooked CRM vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
Hooked CRM
5.0CRM
HookedCRM adds auto-pause on missed calls as its call-floor controls keep tightening.
◆ Current state
HookedCRM is an insurance call center CRM that ships a roll-up most weeks. Since the August Quotes feature, October releases added CRM-backed call and lead lists, admin tabs for the leaderboard and quoting, up to five sales per lead, supervisor campaign permissions, a Safe Harbor toggle and automatic agent pause after missed calls.
◆ Where it's heading
The product keeps adding supervisor and compliance controls to the call floor while extending lead and sales tracking for agencies. Cadence slipped from weekly to a gap in late August and September, then resumed in October.
◆ Prediction
Expect more supervisor controls and lead-tracking options in weekly roll-ups; whether quoting expands to more carriers is unclear.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.58 rebuilds CRM permissions down to the row and adds MCP workflow steps.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.58.0 on November 13 rebuilt how access works: role permissions now compile into row-level rules, legacy per-user permissions are gone and the old workflow object is dropped, all flagged as breaking. The same release adds a workflow step that calls MCP tools, self-service two-factor backup codes and stricter SAML checks. Patches 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 then stopped existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO without an invitation first.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty is hardening the base under its AI and app platform: tighter access rules, SSO and SAML checks, and apps that run under their own grants. Workflows keep gaining ways to call outside tools, now including MCP servers.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up patches as self-hosters hit the 2.58 permission changes, and a fix that lets invited users join SSO-only workspaces.
