FluentCRM vs Twenty: 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 Twenty?
Twenty 2.55 closes a window where every member could read every AI chat during upgrades.
Twenty 2.54 put campaigns on for every workspace and let apps declare MCP servers, then took several npm publish attempts to reach 2.54.3. The 2.55.0 tag on November 2 carries a single fix: between the 2.55 deploy and each workspace's upgrade, any Admin or Member could list and read every AI chat thread in the workspace. Chats now stay reachable only through their shares until private records are switched on.

FluentCRM

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.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.55 closes a window where every member could read every AI chat during upgrades.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.54 put campaigns on for every workspace and let apps declare MCP servers, then took several npm publish attempts to reach 2.54.3. The 2.55.0 tag on November 2 carries a single fix: between the 2.55 deploy and each workspace's upgrade, any Admin or Member could list and read every AI chat thread in the workspace. Chats now stay reachable only through their shares until private records are switched on.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty is adding record-level privacy, with chats as the first private-by-default object, alongside its app platform and MCP work. The 2.55 fix shows the team testing permission behaviour across the multi-hour rollout window, not just before and after it.
◆ Prediction
Expect private records to be enabled per workspace in the 2.55 line and extended to more object types; how soon the feature flag is removed is unclear from the notes.
