What is SalesQL?
SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.
SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.
What is ERPNext?
ERPNext threads Frappe CRM into its core records while shipping localization and accounting controls
ERPNext is maintaining two release lines in lockstep (v16 and v15), with most features landing in both on the same day. Recent work spans a configurable Process Period Closing Voucher timeout, a Frappe CRM sync toggle that adds deal fields to Quotation and Customer, batch-level negative-stock control, and new localized charts of accounts.

SalesQL
0.0CRM
SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.
◆ Current state
SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.
◆ Where it's heading
SalesQL is making the existing surface more useful for power users (saved filter sets, exportable enrichment fields) and starting to widen its addressable market through team plans and localization. Compared to the broader prospecting category — Apollo, Clay, Lusha, ZoomInfo — SalesQL's positioning looks deliberately narrower: a focused enrichment tool that doesn't try to become a workflow engine. That can be a defensible niche or it can be a slow squeeze depending on how much pricing pressure the larger tools apply.
◆ Prediction
The most likely next moves are more language additions to Prospector, deeper export/integration capabilities (Salesforce, HubSpot, CRM-native pushes), and possibly an enrichment-API tier that widens the developer-facing surface. AI-assisted outreach features would be a natural step but the cadence so far doesn't suggest urgency.
ERPNext
5.0CRM
ERPNext threads Frappe CRM into its core records while shipping localization and accounting controls
◆ Current state
ERPNext is maintaining two release lines in lockstep (v16 and v15), with most features landing in both on the same day. Recent work spans a configurable Process Period Closing Voucher timeout, a Frappe CRM sync toggle that adds deal fields to Quotation and Customer, batch-level negative-stock control, and new localized charts of accounts.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is tighter coupling between ERPNext and the wider Frappe suite — the CRM sync is a breaking change that wires deal data directly into core sales documents. Alongside that, the team keeps broadening country-specific accounting templates, signaling a push for out-of-the-box international onboarding.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Frappe CRM integration to deepen beyond Quotation/Customer into more transaction types, and more localized charts of accounts to land as the international-setup story expands.
