Avoma vs SiYuan
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Avoma and SiYuan — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Avoma vs SiYuan: at a glance
What is Avoma?
Avoma's meeting data is now reachable over MCP, buried in a monthly roundup between SEO posts.
The tracked feed is mostly Avoma's comparison-content engine — Pipedrive vs Salesforce, HubSpot vs Zoho, Gong vs Chorus, Outreach vs Salesloft — aimed at buyers shopping adjacent categories rather than at existing users. The product signal arrives once a month in an Insider roundup, and July's carries the substantive items: secure MCP access, source selection in Ask Avoma, AI email templates, and rebuilt Pipeline Walk and Pipeline Trend reports.
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan's 3.8.8 alphas add DeepSeek agent tools on top of Gemini and database automation.
SiYuan opened 3.8.8 with a long alpha.1: Gemini Interactions API support, automation that collects blocks into databases, tab-to-mind-map conversion and compact desktop mode. Five more alphas followed in three days. Alpha.5 adds DeepSeek Search and Fetch APIs for agents, a Mermaid 12.2 upgrade and menus that scroll with mouse movement, and alpha.6 makes the Linux AppImage run without libfuse2 and improves mobile database editing.
Avoma vs SiYuan: editorial side-by-side
Avoma
6.3COLLAB
Avoma's meeting data is now reachable over MCP, buried in a monthly roundup between SEO posts.
◆ Current state
The tracked feed is mostly Avoma's comparison-content engine — Pipedrive vs Salesforce, HubSpot vs Zoho, Gong vs Chorus, Outreach vs Salesloft — aimed at buyers shopping adjacent categories rather than at existing users. The product signal arrives once a month in an Insider roundup, and July's carries the substantive items: secure MCP access, source selection in Ask Avoma, AI email templates, and rebuilt Pipeline Walk and Pipeline Trend reports.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are happening at once. The product is opening up — MCP access means the meeting record stops being something you read inside Avoma and becomes something other agents can query, and letting users pick which sources Ask Avoma draws from is a trust control on the same surface. The content operation, meanwhile, is chasing CRM and revenue-tooling comparison traffic, which reaches buyers evaluating a category Avoma sits beside rather than in.
◆ Prediction
Expect Ask Avoma to keep gaining grounding and scoping controls now that source selection exists, and the MCP surface to widen if it is picked up. The monthly Insider post will stay the only place shipped work is visible, so per-feature detail will keep arriving bundled and late.
SiYuan
5.0COLLAB
SiYuan's 3.8.8 alphas add DeepSeek agent tools on top of Gemini and database automation.
◆ Current state
SiYuan opened 3.8.8 with a long alpha.1: Gemini Interactions API support, automation that collects blocks into databases, tab-to-mind-map conversion and compact desktop mode. Five more alphas followed in three days. Alpha.5 adds DeepSeek Search and Fetch APIs for agents, a Mermaid 12.2 upgrade and menus that scroll with mouse movement, and alpha.6 makes the Linux AppImage run without libfuse2 and improves mobile database editing.
◆ Where it's heading
Model choice for SiYuan's agent keeps widening: ChatGPT first, then Gemini, now DeepSeek's search and fetch tools. Databases keep gaining automation and mobile parity, and editor polish lands in large cumulative batches. Six alphas in three days with mostly cumulative notes suggest 3.8.8 is being stabilised in public.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 3.8.8 alphas with small editor, mobile and packaging fixes, then a beta; whether 3.8.7 ever gets a stable tag is still not shown in the entries.
