Hooked CRM vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Hooked CRM?
A weekly-shipping insurance call center CRM grinding toward a full agency workflow
Hooked CRM posts a roll-up every week without fail, each one bundling a small feature with call-handling and data-consistency fixes. The through-line is the insurance call floor: call merge and transfer, supervisor monitoring, agent status history, dispositions in Tacklebox AI Live Assist, a sales leaderboard, and now side-by-side carrier quote comparison. Entries are written in release-note prose with categories tagged inline, so the weekly scope is easy to read.
What is Twenty?
Twenty CRM is in a rapid patch cadence on v2.37.x while the v2.35 SDK breaking changes stabilize downstream.
Twenty CRM is shipping daily patch releases in the v2.37.x series — S3 socket fixes, message sync performance improvements, and field-metadata query optimizations. These patches follow the v2.35 SDK release, which introduced breaking changes to CoreApiClient, LogicFunctionExecutionContext, and SidePanelExpandTarget, alongside new capabilities: localStorage/sessionStorage in sandboxed workers, shared front-component dependencies (reducing per-component size from ~190KB to ~1.6KB), and media recording APIs.

◆ Current state
Hooked CRM posts a roll-up every week without fail, each one bundling a small feature with call-handling and data-consistency fixes. The through-line is the insurance call floor: call merge and transfer, supervisor monitoring, agent status history, dispositions in Tacklebox AI Live Assist, a sales leaderboard, and now side-by-side carrier quote comparison. Entries are written in release-note prose with categories tagged inline, so the weekly scope is easy to read.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is filling in the operational layer an agency needs before it can scale headcount: per-agent feature toggles, vertical scoping so campaigns and lead forms only show assigned verticals, agency-specific carrier fields, and session controls. Reliability work runs alongside each feature — monitored calls ending correctly on disconnect, notes saving when the lead page is closed, leads with zero earnings no longer keeping a sale date. The recent additions push past call handling into what an agent does on the call, which is where quoting sits.
◆ Prediction
With quote comparison and per-agent carrier opt-outs both in place, binding or application submission is the obvious next gap between a quote and a sale.
Twenty
7.5CRM
Twenty CRM is in a rapid patch cadence on v2.37.x while the v2.35 SDK breaking changes stabilize downstream.
◆ Current state
Twenty CRM is shipping daily patch releases in the v2.37.x series — S3 socket fixes, message sync performance improvements, and field-metadata query optimizations. These patches follow the v2.35 SDK release, which introduced breaking changes to CoreApiClient, LogicFunctionExecutionContext, and SidePanelExpandTarget, alongside new capabilities: localStorage/sessionStorage in sandboxed workers, shared front-component dependencies (reducing per-component size from ~190KB to ~1.6KB), and media recording APIs.
◆ Where it's heading
The v2.35 SDK changes represent a real maturation of Twenty's application platform layer — the shift to runAs scoping on CoreApiClient and retryable logic functions with backoff signals investment in making Twenty a serious app runtime, not just an open-source CRM with some automation. The rapid v2.37.x patch cycle suggests the v2.35 changes introduced some instability that is being worked out. Once stabilized, expect v2.38 to push more platform capabilities.
◆ Prediction
The next major release will likely focus on the ORM v2 work (a TypeORM-free workspace read path visible in the v2.35 internals) graduating from behind a flag, which would be a meaningful architectural shift for scalability.
