Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of BigContacts and Wealthbox — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
A CRM whose public feed is entirely email-marketing education, not product news.
BIGContacts publishes under a feed titled CRM Software Product News, but nothing in the last ten posts is product news. The content is first-person email-marketing instruction — welcome series, confirmation emails, lifecycle stages — interleaved with ranked software listicles that cover email automation tools and CRMs generally. No release, version or shipped capability appears anywhere in the window.
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
BIGContacts publishes under a feed titled CRM Software Product News, but nothing in the last ten posts is product news. The content is first-person email-marketing instruction — welcome series, confirmation emails, lifecycle stages — interleaved with ranked software listicles that cover email automation tools and CRMs generally. No release, version or shipped capability appears anywhere in the window.
The strategy is top-of-funnel search capture aimed at small businesses who have not yet adopted a CRM, with the product mentioned as an option inside broader category roundups rather than as the subject. The email-marketing emphasis suggests BIGContacts is competing for the buyer who arrives looking for automation and follow-up rather than contact management. Because this is the public feed, the actual product roadmap is not observable here.
Expect more ranked listicles and email-marketing how-tos on the same weekly rhythm. Product changes will stay invisible on this channel unless a separate release feed appears.

Wealthbox has moved from an assistant that answers questions to agents that do work, while charging for storage and compliance rather than AI. Partner integrations through the Developer Portal give those agents more data to act on.
Expect agents that use partner data from Holistiplan or Nitrogen, and more prebuilt agents; the entries do not list the 24 or the build tools in detail.
