OneSignal's feed is push and SMS marketing content, not product release notes
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Omnisend and WPForms — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Omnisend pivots toward agencies — templated client accounts and copy-between-stores everywhere.
March's releases are dominated by a single coherent push: making Omnisend usable for agencies and multi-store merchants. The Partner Portal now supports Templated Accounts (build automations, campaigns, and signup forms once, copy them to many client stores), and a parallel batch of features lets users copy automation workflows, saved email templates, campaigns, and signup forms between accounts. The 'Managing Multiple Stores' update is the umbrella capability. Outside the multi-store push, two operationally important additions stand out: in-flight email campaign cancellation, and branded domains for form landing pages.
WPForms opens its form builder to Claude, betting on assistant-driven creation
WPForms is a WordPress form builder that already layers AI into its builder (AI form builder, AI Choices, Smart Edit). Its feed is mostly how-to/SEO content, but the recent window captures a real direction shift: forms can now be built and edited from outside the plugin via assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.

Omnisend is segmenting away from its single-merchant Shopify-app roots toward a two-tier product: solo merchants on one side, agencies and multi-brand operators on the other. The Partner Portal getting reusable templated accounts is the keystone — it changes the unit of work from 'one store at a time' to 'one configuration deployed to many stores'. This is a direct competitive move on Klaviyo Partner Network and Mailchimp's agency tooling. The cancellation feature and branded domains round out a respectability tier that enterprise-leaning customers will check for in RFPs.
Expect agency-pricing and partner-tier billing changes in the next few releases, plus deeper cross-store reporting (the natural follow-on to managing multiple stores from one console). The campaign-cancellation pattern likely extends to scheduled SMS and to in-flight automation pauses.

WPForms is moving from in-app AI toward AI-interop — letting the assistant a user already works in reach into WordPress and build or edit forms. That reframes the builder as a backend that external agents drive, on top of its established addon ecosystem (Google Drive, Quiz, PDF).
Expect WPForms to formalize this assistant integration — more actions exposed to external agents — and keep marketing AI creation as the default path, while the addon how-tos continue as steady SEO.
