Snov.io's October update brings LinkedIn Prospect Finder 4.0 and an AI Assistant.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of NetHunt CRM and Twenty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
NetHunt CRM ships workflow, integration, and automation depth as it builds toward a more self-contained sales OS.
NetHunt CRM, a Gmail-native CRM, has been shipping steadily across automation, integration, and data quality work. Recent releases add Aircall integration for call logging, statistical email tracking fields, a workflow engine redesign with retry/cancel/history capabilities, and auto-creation of contacts from Gmail compose and social channels. The changelog entries lack timestamps, making cadence difficult to assess, but the breadth of changes suggests a sustained shipping pace.
Twenty ships 2.56's AI-step permissions overhaul, then a week of patches and tags.
Twenty 2.56.0 on November 5 was a large release: AI workflow steps now run under their own configuration and permission scope (a breaking change), the inbox gains Microsoft Teams, Fathom and LinkedIn conversations, and Claude 5.5 models get effort levels. Since then it has been follow-up work: 2.56.1 unblocks upgrades stalled by workflow code steps containing NUL characters, 2.57.0 is a code-cleanup tag published to npm, and 2.57.1 shows the configured assistant name and avatar in the inbox.

The changelog entries lack timestamps, making cadence difficult to assess, but the breadth of changes suggests a sustained shipping pace.
NetHunt is expanding outward from Gmail toward a broader sales operations platform: telephony integration (Aircall, Ringostat, Binotel), messenger support, improved webforms, and enhanced automations. The workflow redesign—which adds retry logic, cancellation controls, and run history—indicates the product is maturing its automation engine for teams running complex multi-step sales processes.
More telephony and communication integrations are likely given the pattern. The automation redesign suggests upcoming improvements to trigger logic or condition branching. Email deliverability tooling (custom SMTP, manual send delays) points toward continued investment in outreach capabilities.

The product is turning its inbox into a place where AI assistants and people work in the same threads, with permissions tightened to match. Releases are frequent and many entries are SDK or npm tags with no user-visible change.
Expect the Inbox flag to come off for more workspaces and more messaging channels to arrive as apps, following Teams, Fathom and LinkedIn.
