Kommo's developer API keeps widening its grip on chat channels and Salesbots
A side-by-side editorial comparison of FluentCRM and Wealthbox — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.

The releases leading up to it were steady maintenance, hotfixes plus incremental WooCommerce and FluentCart integration work and reporting improvements.
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.
Expect 3.x point releases stabilizing the rewrite, plus deeper SMS and AI build-out now that the foundation has shipped.

Wealthbox has moved from an assistant that answers questions to agents that do work, while charging for storage and compliance rather than AI. Partner integrations through the Developer Portal give those agents more data to act on.
Expect agents that use partner data from Holistiplan or Nitrogen, and more prebuilt agents; the entries do not list the 24 or the build tools in detail.
