GroupOffice vs Kommo: at a glance
What is GroupOffice?
GroupOffice patches its 25.0 and 6.8 lines again, still with no notes.
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.
What is Kommo?
Kommo's developer API keeps widening its grip on chat channels and Salesbots
Kommo is a messenger-first CRM, and its developer changelog is a steady run of API additions around conversations. July brought a conversations list endpoint, an outgoing-message webhook and a Chats API add-on for reading and sending messages in external chats, followed by file attachments on message sending. Since then the changes have been smaller: a lead subscribers endpoint, a widget method that opens its own settings modal, and documentation on tying sources to chat channels through origin_code.
GroupOffice vs Kommo: editorial side-by-side
GroupOffice
5.0CRM
GroupOffice patches its 25.0 and 6.8 lines again, still with no notes.
◆ Current state
GroupOffice ships maintenance builds across three release lines at once. On November 12 it tagged 6.8.183 and 25.0.117, and on November 13 it followed with 6.8.184 and 25.0.118 within forty minutes. Every note is the same install boilerplate, so the feed shows cadence but not what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 6.8 line, two majors behind current, has now had four patches in nine days, while 26.0 keeps a weekly rhythm. That points to fixes being backported to long-supported installs rather than new features, though the notes never say so.
◆ Prediction
A 26.0.60 build is the likely next tag within days, since 26.0 has shipped weekly and was left out of the November 12 pair.
Kommo
2.5CRM
Kommo's developer API keeps widening its grip on chat channels and Salesbots
◆ Current state
Kommo is a messenger-first CRM, and its developer changelog is a steady run of API additions around conversations. July brought a conversations list endpoint, an outgoing-message webhook and a Chats API add-on for reading and sending messages in external chats, followed by file attachments on message sending. Since then the changes have been smaller: a lead subscribers endpoint, a widget method that opens its own settings modal, and documentation on tying sources to chat channels through origin_code.
◆ Where it's heading
The API is being opened up so integrators can drive Kommo's chat inbox and Salesbot automation from outside, not just sync CRM records. The pace has slowed from July's batch of chat endpoints to documentation clarifications and single endpoints.
◆ Prediction
The entries point to more endpoints around Salesbots and external chats, but the recent pace suggests small additions rather than a new API surface soon.
