Bitrix24's blog explains MCP for small teams; still no product releases.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Close CRM and Revenuegrid — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Close turns caller ID into an automatic choice with Local Presence.
Close is shipping on three tracks: the Chloe assistant, calling, and admin controls. In November the calling side moved most, with Local Presence picking a recognized or local-looking number for each call and text, and outbound calls now playing a tone while they connect. Chloe Chat is generally available and draws charts on request, and October brought object renaming and a central Security page with OIDC SSO.
Revenue Grid's changelog feed is dominated by site chrome and a 2024 analyst-report citation — limited product motion is visible.
The available entries for Revenue Grid are mostly site-chrome scrape artifacts (cookie banners, navigation labels, page category fragments) plus a single analyst-report headline naming Revenue Grid a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Revenue Intelligence Platforms 2024 assessment. There are no clearly product-bearing changelog entries in this window.

Calling and texting are getting the kind of automation Chloe brought to search and reporting, with Close making choices reps used to make by hand. The admin work points at larger teams that need renamed objects and central access control.
Expect more calling features that remove manual steps, such as number management or call outcome handling, alongside further Chloe chart and action types.
The available entries for Revenue Grid are mostly site-chrome scrape artifacts (cookie banners, navigation labels, page category fragments) plus a single analyst-report headline naming Revenue Grid a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Revenue Intelligence Platforms 2024 assessment. There are no clearly product-bearing changelog entries in this window.
Without first-party release notes coming through, the most concrete signal is the IDC MarketScape recognition — which positions Revenue Grid in the broader revenue-intelligence category alongside the established analytics-and-coaching vendors. Whatever shipping is happening underneath isn't reaching the changelog surface this scraper is reading, so it's hard to confidently call a trajectory.
Until a real release feed is available it would be speculative to predict specific moves. The most likely near-term observable outcome is a feed-source change or improved scraping that surfaces real product-update entries — at which point the analyst-report framing should be replaced with concrete shipping commentary.
