Clari vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Clari?
Clari's owner puts Salesloft data inside ChatGPT, and prices it as an add-on
This feed is Salesloft's combined monthly release notes post-merger, so Clari updates arrive bundled with Salesloft, Groove, and Copilot changes. The August notes are dominated by CRM plumbing, including automatic Salesforce account linking, self-service custom object controls, and a required migration to a new External Client Application before 2 September, plus the first ChatGPT-facing MCP connector. Clari's own recent additions are narrower: Copilot call scoring in June and an in-app support chatbot in July.
What is Twenty?
Twenty 2.53 lets apps lock field permission actions, a day after role-aware relation pickers.
Twenty shipped 2.53.0 and 2.53.1 on Oct 28, a day after 2.52.0. The 2.53.0 notes list only docs translations; 2.53.1 lets applications disable field permission actions on the fields they own. 2.52 had made relation pickers offer only targets the current role may update, and 2.51 replaced BlockNote with TipTap and put custom roles behind a billing entitlement.

◆ Current state
This feed is Salesloft's combined monthly release notes post-merger, so Clari updates arrive bundled with Salesloft, Groove, and Copilot changes. The August notes are dominated by CRM plumbing, including automatic Salesforce account linking, self-service custom object controls, and a required migration to a new External Client Application before 2 September, plus the first ChatGPT-facing MCP connector. Clari's own recent additions are narrower: Copilot call scoring in June and an in-app support chatbot in July.
◆ Where it's heading
The agentic layer is where the investment goes, and it is sold as a tier rather than included, with the ChatGPT MCP connector requiring both the Agentic add-on and an enterprise ChatGPT subscription. At the same time the Claude MCP server lost its transcript tool to a protocol limitation, so the surface is being shaped by what each host can carry. Underneath, considerable engineering is going into CRM fidelity across merges, deletions, and custom objects, which is the unglamorous prerequisite for agents that read revenue data.
◆ Prediction
The MCP surface looks set to expand by host rather than by capability, and the External Client Application migration will dominate admin communication through the 2 September deadline.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.53 lets apps lock field permission actions, a day after role-aware relation pickers.
◆ Current state
Twenty shipped 2.53.0 and 2.53.1 on Oct 28, a day after 2.52.0. The 2.53.0 notes list only docs translations; 2.53.1 lets applications disable field permission actions on the fields they own. 2.52 had made relation pickers offer only targets the current role may update, and 2.51 replaced BlockNote with TipTap and put custom roles behind a billing entitlement.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases are arriving almost daily now, and the visible changes keep landing on roles and permissions, both in the CRM UI and in what installed applications can control. The SDK is tagged in lockstep with each server version, so the app platform and the permission model are evolving together.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2.53.x patches with more app-level permission controls; the published notes are too thin to say what else 2.53 contains.
