What is Thryv?

Thryv's feed is a marketing blog; the product news hides between the SEO posts.

Thryv publishes several posts a week and nearly all of them are search-optimized guides aimed at small-business owners: local search, AI search, HVAC SEO, holiday slogans. Genuine product announcements surface roughly once a week and are easy to miss in the stream. The most recent is Projected ROI, which estimates what a business's marketing leads could be worth.

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.

Thryv vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side

T6.3

Thryv's feed is a marketing blog; the product news hides between the SEO posts.

◆ Current state

Thryv publishes several posts a week and nearly all of them are search-optimized guides aimed at small-business owners: local search, AI search, HVAC SEO, holiday slogans. Genuine product announcements surface roughly once a week and are easy to miss in the stream. The most recent is Projected ROI, which estimates what a business's marketing leads could be worth.

◆ Where it's heading

The company is positioning around AI search as the thing small businesses need help being found in, and the product work follows the same line: AI lead scoring, projected ROI, and the done-for-you Boosts services. Thryv is selling interpretation of marketing data rather than more places to publish it. The content cadence is a demand-generation engine and says more about the sales motion than the roadmap.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI-branded analytics layered onto lead data the platform already holds -- scoring, attribution, value estimates -- announced in this same blog stream. The entries show no movement on pricing or packaging.

T5.0

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.
