What is SalesQL?
SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.
SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.
What is Twenty?
Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.
Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.

SalesQL
0.0CRM
SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.
◆ Current state
SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.
◆ Where it's heading
SalesQL is making the existing surface more useful for power users (saved filter sets, exportable enrichment fields) and starting to widen its addressable market through team plans and localization. Compared to the broader prospecting category — Apollo, Clay, Lusha, ZoomInfo — SalesQL's positioning looks deliberately narrower: a focused enrichment tool that doesn't try to become a workflow engine. That can be a defensible niche or it can be a slow squeeze depending on how much pricing pressure the larger tools apply.
◆ Prediction
The most likely next moves are more language additions to Prospector, deeper export/integration capabilities (Salesforce, HubSpot, CRM-native pushes), and possibly an enrichment-API tier that widens the developer-facing surface. AI-assisted outreach features would be a natural step but the cadence so far doesn't suggest urgency.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty ships minor versions every few days, and most tags carry little detail. The changes that are described tighten access and security, as in this SSO fix, or extend the AI assistant inside the inbox and SDK. Point releases now carry the visible change rather than the minors.
◆ Prediction
More point releases on 2.58 are likely; the entries do not show which feature 2.59 will bring.
