Avoma's content is all revenue-intelligence comparisons — it's hunting Clari and Gong
The feed we track for Avoma is its marketing blog, and right now it reads like a competitive-displacement campaign. Recent posts are forecasting explainers and head-to-head comparisons — Clari vs Gong, Clari vs Outreach, Clari vs Salesforce — repeatedly framing Avoma as the consolidation play. There are no product release notes here, only positioning.
Skedda keeps grinding out workplace-management depth across booking, check-in, and visitors.
Skedda is in a steady incremental phase, broadening its desk-and-space management suite rather than changing direction. Recent work spans finer booking-window priority rules, Microsoft two-way-sync approvals, in-app issue reporting, check-in analytics, visitor categorization, and finding colleagues on the map.

Recent posts are forecasting explainers and head-to-head comparisons — Clari vs Gong, Clari vs Outreach, Clari vs Salesforce — repeatedly framing Avoma as the consolidation play. There are no product release notes here, only positioning.
The pattern points clearly at category ambition: Avoma, historically a meeting-assistant and notetaker, is publishing as a revenue-intelligence and forecasting contender, going directly at the Clari/Gong/Outreach set. The cadence is high and the messaging is consistent, which is itself a signal — the company is investing in owning forecasting search terms, not just call recording.
If the content roadmap reflects the product roadmap, expect Avoma to keep pushing forecasting and pipeline-intelligence messaging against Clari and Gong. The entries don't show the underlying features shipping, so whether the product backs the positioning is the open question this feed can't answer.

Recent work spans finer booking-window priority rules, Microsoft two-way-sync approvals, in-app issue reporting, check-in analytics, visitor categorization, and finding colleagues on the map.
The arc is toward a more complete workplace-experience platform: not just booking space, but reporting on whether it gets used (check-in insights), managing who comes in (visit types, issue reporting), and tightening Microsoft-calendar interoperability. Each release fills a gap an office admin would otherwise feel.
Expect continued buildout of analytics and admin controls around occupancy and visitor flows, with deeper Microsoft 365 sync as a recurring theme.
