Keap

CRM
Velocity0.0

CRM and marketing automation platform for small businesses with sales pipeline management

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.
