FluentCRM vs Kommo: at a glance
What is FluentCRM?
FluentCRM's 3.0 rewrite adds SMS, AI authoring, and an MCP server
FluentCRM just shipped 3.0, a ground-up rewrite on Vue 3 with a Gutenberg-native email builder, SMS marketing, AI email authoring and summaries, an MCP server for AI agents, a new dashboard, and dark mode. The releases leading up to it were steady maintenance, hotfixes plus incremental WooCommerce and FluentCart integration work and reporting improvements.
What is Kommo?
Kommo's developer API keeps widening its grip on chat channels and Salesbots
Kommo is a messenger-first CRM, and its developer changelog is a steady run of API additions around conversations. July brought a conversations list endpoint, an outgoing-message webhook and a Chats API add-on for reading and sending messages in external chats, followed by file attachments on message sending. Since then the changes have been smaller: a lead subscribers endpoint, a widget method that opens its own settings modal, and documentation on tying sources to chat channels through origin_code.

0.0CRM
FluentCRM's 3.0 rewrite adds SMS, AI authoring, and an MCP server
◆ Current state
FluentCRM just shipped 3.0, a ground-up rewrite on Vue 3 with a Gutenberg-native email builder, SMS marketing, AI email authoring and summaries, an MCP server for AI agents, a new dashboard, and dark mode. The releases leading up to it were steady maintenance, hotfixes plus incremental WooCommerce and FluentCart integration work and reporting improvements.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from a WordPress email-marketing plugin toward a broader, AI-assisted, multi-channel CRM. SMS and the MCP server in particular push it beyond email and into agent-driven workflows.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.x point releases stabilizing the rewrite, plus deeper SMS and AI build-out now that the foundation has shipped.
Kommo
2.5CRM
Kommo's developer API keeps widening its grip on chat channels and Salesbots
◆ Current state
Kommo is a messenger-first CRM, and its developer changelog is a steady run of API additions around conversations. July brought a conversations list endpoint, an outgoing-message webhook and a Chats API add-on for reading and sending messages in external chats, followed by file attachments on message sending. Since then the changes have been smaller: a lead subscribers endpoint, a widget method that opens its own settings modal, and documentation on tying sources to chat channels through origin_code.
◆ Where it's heading
The API is being opened up so integrators can drive Kommo's chat inbox and Salesbot automation from outside, not just sync CRM records. The pace has slowed from July's batch of chat endpoints to documentation clarifications and single endpoints.
◆ Prediction
The entries point to more endpoints around Salesbots and external chats, but the recent pace suggests small additions rather than a new API surface soon.
