What is Countly?

Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.

Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.

What is Kameleoon?

Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.

Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.

Countly vs Kameleoon: editorial side-by-side

C
Countly
ANALYTICS
5.0

Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.

◆ Current state

Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.

◆ Where it's heading

Countly is still mostly hardening access control, carrying the token-scoping work from 25.03.58 into every plugin that reads or changes app data. At the same time it keeps the self-hosted stack on current runtimes.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 24.05 patch that backports these scoping fixes, as 24.05.55 did after 25.03.58.

ANALYTICS
1.3

Kameleoon refines its prompt-driven personalization editor with widget, targeting, and PBX upgrades.

◆ Current state

Kameleoon is iterating on the new Personalization editor and the prompt-based workflow that sits inside it. Recent changes: a simpler two-step widget event creation flow that ties directly to Kameleoon goals, the ability to reorder personalization targeting rules from the new editor, and PBX prompt-area improvements (resizable prompt area, image paste as input). Survey widgets get a configurable response-recording trigger.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is settling into the new editor as the default surface and accumulating the small ergonomics wins teams expect from a mature personalization tool — fewer clicks, fewer manual IDs, more control over evaluation order. The PBX prompt updates suggest AI-assisted variant creation is becoming a more prominent workflow, with multimodal input now supported.

◆ Prediction

Expect the editor's PBX surface to keep gaining capability — likely brand-context awareness, reusable prompts, and broader image-driven generation. Targeting and goal flows will continue to consolidate so users don't need to reach for IDs or admin pages.
