OroCRM vs Twenty: at a glance
What is OroCRM?
OroCRM 7.0 LTS turns the CRM into an integration hub: MCP server, SCIM, webhooks.
OroCRM ships monthly maintenance releases on top of its 7.0 LTS line, which landed in May 2026. Since January the visible work has been integration and identity plumbing: an MCP server for back-office and storefront, OIDC identity providers, SCIM provisioning, OAuth2 server metadata, and in May two-way webhooks. The June release is mostly fixes, including making the MCP server's tool output conform to the MCP spec.
What is Twenty?
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.

OroCRM
0.0CRM
OroCRM 7.0 LTS turns the CRM into an integration hub: MCP server, SCIM, webhooks.
◆ Current state
OroCRM ships monthly maintenance releases on top of its 7.0 LTS line, which landed in May 2026. Since January the visible work has been integration and identity plumbing: an MCP server for back-office and storefront, OIDC identity providers, SCIM provisioning, OAuth2 server metadata, and in May two-way webhooks. The June release is mostly fixes, including making the MCP server's tool output conform to the MCP spec.
◆ Where it's heading
Oro is positioning the CRM as a system other tools and agents connect to, not one users work in alone: identity is delegated to IdPs, events flow out through webhooks, and AI clients come in through MCP. The fixes to MCP output schemas and OAuth metadata show that layer is still being hardened after launch.
◆ Prediction
Expect further MCP and API hardening in the 7.0.x releases rather than new surface area. The entries don't show whether new AI features will sit on top of the MCP server.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty ships 2.56's AI-step permissions overhaul, then a week of patches and tags.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Inbox flag to come off for more workspaces and more messaging channels to arrive as apps, following Teams, Fathom and LinkedIn.
