Django CRM vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Django CRM?
Django CRM spends a morning hardening itself against abusive input.
Django CRM is an open-source CRM whose first three tracked releases all landed on October 15. Each adds a guardrail: an upload size limit, a 200-ID cap on bulk update and delete, and RE2 for regex routing conditions to block catastrophic backtracking. None changes what users can do; all limit how the app can be overloaded.
What is Twenty?
Twenty is rewriting its API errors for the AI agents calling it, not just for people.
Twenty 2.47.0 makes filter validation errors tell an AI agent how to fix a malformed filter: nest operators under a field, list sub-fields on composite fields, and point relation filters at the join column. Invalid filters are still rejected rather than silently widened. It follows 2.46's move of workflow rich text onto BlockNote and a 2.45 patch series that included lighter MCP tool schemas.
Django CRM vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
Django CRM
5.0CRM
Django CRM spends a morning hardening itself against abusive input.
◆ Current state
Django CRM is an open-source CRM whose first three tracked releases all landed on October 15. Each adds a guardrail: an upload size limit, a 200-ID cap on bulk update and delete, and RE2 for regex routing conditions to block catastrophic backtracking. None changes what users can do; all limit how the app can be overloaded.
◆ Where it's heading
The work points at resource exhaustion from inputs: large files, oversized bulk requests and pathological regexes. Three releases in under five hours from one contributor reads as a deliberate hardening pass rather than routine upkeep.
◆ Prediction
More limits on remaining input paths are the most likely next releases. With only three entries, all from one day, the feature roadmap is not visible.
Twenty
7.5CRM
Twenty is rewriting its API errors for the AI agents calling it, not just for people.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.47.0 makes filter validation errors tell an AI agent how to fix a malformed filter: nest operators under a field, list sub-fields on composite fields, and point relation filters at the join column. Invalid filters are still rejected rather than silently widened. It follows 2.46's move of workflow rich text onto BlockNote and a 2.45 patch series that included lighter MCP tool schemas.
◆ Where it's heading
Agent ergonomics are becoming a steady thread: plain JSON Schema for MCP database tools in 2.45.3, then agent-actionable errors in 2.47. The rest of the cadence is workflow polish and server cache tuning, shipped as weekly minor versions with the SDK tagged in lockstep. The product is treating LLM clients as a first-class API consumer alongside the UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing hardening of the API and MCP surface in the next minors, likely other argument types beyond filters getting the same corrective error messages.
