3CX vs Eventzilla
A side-by-side editorial comparison of 3CX and Eventzilla — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
3CX vs Eventzilla: at a glance
What is 3CX?
3CX is rebuilding around an AI Server, and it just handed the channel the AI edition to sell.
Recent releases split between the AI Server — sizing guidance, deployment updates, MCP and admin control in the V20 Update 10 alpha — and steady client work, most recently the V5.8 softphone beta with one-click SSO and outbound number choice. Packaging moved too: partner and distributor NFR subscriptions were replaced with the AI Edition.
What is Eventzilla?
One real theme release amid stale event-planning content
Eventzilla's feed pairs a single product update — five new event-landing-page themes — with a backlog of evergreen event-planning strategy posts. The entries run from mid-2024 to March 2025, so the crawled feed is stale by more than a year.

3CX is rebuilding around an AI Server, and it just handed the channel the AI edition to sell.
◆ Current state
Recent releases split between the AI Server — sizing guidance, deployment updates, MCP and admin control in the V20 Update 10 alpha — and steady client work, most recently the V5.8 softphone beta with one-click SSO and outbound number choice. Packaging moved too: partner and distributor NFR subscriptions were replaced with the AI Edition.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Server is being treated as infrastructure customers deploy themselves rather than a hosted add-on, with hardware guidance, dedicated deployment tooling and an MCP endpoint for connecting assistants. Putting the AI Edition into partner hands and easing self-managed subscription changes both point at pushing that stack out through the channel rather than upselling it centrally.
◆ Prediction
Expect V20 Update 10 to move from alpha toward release with the AI Server management changes already previewed, and the V5.8 softphone beta to reach general availability.

One real theme release amid stale event-planning content
◆ Current state
Eventzilla's feed pairs a single product update — five new event-landing-page themes — with a backlog of evergreen event-planning strategy posts. The entries run from mid-2024 to March 2025, so the crawled feed is stale by more than a year.
◆ Where it's heading
The lone product move is cosmetic (landing-page themes), and everything newer is absent, so the trajectory is not observable — the blog appears to have stopped updating or the crawler is on an archived feed.
◆ Prediction
Without recent entries, no confident prediction; the feed source likely needs re-pointing to confirm whether product work continues.
