Sulu vs MailBeez: at a glance
What is Sulu?
Sulu opens its 3.1 line while 3.0 and 2.6 keep shipping in lockstep.
Sulu is a Symfony-based CMS released as matched 3.0.x and 2.6.x patches. The October 1 pair added a request log admin view and a guided forced two-factor setup, and the October 29 pair let editors copy content to several locales at once. The same day, 3.1.0-alpha1 opened the next line with route field actions, a media download button and product-family attributes.
What is MailBeez?

Sulu vs MailBeez: editorial side-by-side
Sulu
5.0MKT AUTO
Sulu opens its 3.1 line while 3.0 and 2.6 keep shipping in lockstep.
◆ Current state
Sulu is a Symfony-based CMS released as matched 3.0.x and 2.6.x patches. The October 1 pair added a request log admin view and a guided forced two-factor setup, and the October 29 pair let editors copy content to several locales at once. The same day, 3.1.0-alpha1 opened the next line with route field actions, a media download button and product-family attributes.
◆ Where it's heading
Sulu is starting a feature line while keeping two maintenance lines in sync, with security and admin hardening flowing into both. Product attributes in 3.1 point toward commerce-adjacent content modelling.
◆ Prediction
Further 3.1 alphas and betas are likely before year end, with 3.0 and 2.6 patches continuing in pairs.
MailBeez
5.0MKT AUTO
MailBeez V5 arrives with a redesigned workspace, dark mode and V5-ready modules.
◆ Current state
MailBeez is an email-marketing plugin for Zen Cart and similar shops. After weeks of 4.9.99 patches and module compatibility updates, V5 shipped with V5.0.1 on November 11: a redesigned workspace with clearer insights, dark mode and simpler navigation, plus V5 support across opt-out, web view, bounce handling, review importers and throttling modules.
◆ Where it's heading
The V5 rewrite that started with the September addon wave and the MAIA assistant is now the default experience. Releases should shift from compatibility work toward features built on the new workspace.
◆ Prediction
Expect quick 5.0.x fix releases and further modules gaining V5 support; whether MAIA gets deeper use in the new workspace is not yet clear from the entries.
