HOMER 11.0.x fixes a critical S3/DuckDB contention bug and adds call-level fields to MCP NL search
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fourwaves and Wildix — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fourwaves replaces per-event pricing with an annual submission model and lets organizers connect custom domains to event websites.
Fourwaves is shipping daily in September 2026, with two substantive changes among the UX polish: a full pricing model restructure (September 17) and custom domain support for event websites (September 11). The pricing change removes per-event limits and add-ons, replacing them with a yearly submission cap and unlimited events. This shifts how recurring event organizers budget for the product — variable per-event costs become a single annual line item.
Wildix opens up an agentic-AI revenue platform on top of its UCaaS, doubling down on European sovereignty.
The dominant move in this window is Revenue Intelligence — an AI-powered platform layered on Wildix's communications stack, marketed around 100% visibility into sales communications, automated dashboards, and an 'Ask Wilma AI' query surface positioned as agentic. Surrounding it: scraped changelog navigation pages for WMS 6/7 and Salesforce/Microservices, plus three press releases (MSP-UK channel events, an industry spokesperson appointment, and a digital-sovereignty positioning piece tied to France's pivot away from US collaboration platforms).

This shifts how recurring event organizers budget for the product — variable per-event costs become a single annual line item.
The combination of custom domains, the account restructure, and the new pricing model points toward Fourwaves targeting organizations that run events repeatedly throughout the year — academic departments, conference series, professional associations. Unlimited events with a submission cap maps precisely onto that use case: many events, bounded total submissions. The preview parity between organizer and attendee views and the login gate added to registration forms (September 8) are both moves toward a more controlled, enterprise-ready submission workflow.
Custom domain support for event websites will likely be paired with branded email sender configuration — organizations running events under their own domain will want outbound emails to match. That is the logical completion of the white-label offering.

Wildix is repositioning from a European UCaaS vendor into an AI-native business-communications platform with a vertical (revenue operations) lifted out of the call surface. The European-sovereignty framing is being weaponized as competitive positioning against Microsoft Teams and Zoom in the public sector. The product feed itself is mostly index pages — actual changelog entries live one click deeper than this scraper sees.
Expect more agentic AI surfaces stacked on top of communications data — likely customer-experience scoring, automated coaching, and outbound-call assistance — and continued public-sector wins in France, Italy, and Germany framed as sovereign alternatives. A second 'AI Wilma' vertical (likely customer support or HR) is plausible within two to three quarters.
