Keap vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Keap?
Keap is folding deeper into the Thryv platform; the v2 REST API just hit parity.
Keap publishes a regular monthly product roundup covering automations, email, branding, and reporting. The biggest single move in the last cycle is the Thryv v2 REST API reaching full feature parity with the legacy XMLRPC API, with new SDKs alongside it. Branding and copy across recent updates increasingly leads with Thryv rather than Keap, suggesting the post-acquisition merge is now visible in product surfaces.
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.
Keap vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
Keap
0.0CRM
Keap is folding deeper into the Thryv platform; the v2 REST API just hit parity.
◆ Current state
Keap publishes a regular monthly product roundup covering automations, email, branding, and reporting. The biggest single move in the last cycle is the Thryv v2 REST API reaching full feature parity with the legacy XMLRPC API, with new SDKs alongside it. Branding and copy across recent updates increasingly leads with Thryv rather than Keap, suggesting the post-acquisition merge is now visible in product surfaces.
◆ Where it's heading
Keap is on a steady CRM-feature cadence — scheduling, segmentation, email deliverability, automation triggers — while the underlying platform shifts under the Thryv brand and API. Developer ecosystem work (v2 REST + SDKs) signals an attempt to revive third-party integration momentum that XMLRPC was bottlenecking. Expect Keap-branded surfaces to keep narrowing as Thryv consolidates the small-business suite.
◆ Prediction
The XMLRPC API has a deprecation window coming — likely a public timeline within a quarter or two. Cross-product features (booking, reputation, marketing) will increasingly land as Thryv-branded rather than Keap-branded, accelerating the brand transition.
Twenty
10.0CRM
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.
