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 Vendasta?
The tracked feed is agency marketing content, so Vendasta's actual shipping stays invisible here
Every entry in this window is a Vendasta Blog post aimed at marketing agencies and local-business resellers — pricing frameworks, niche selection, buyer-intent checklists, and customer case studies with headline revenue figures. None of it describes a change to the Vendasta platform. The feed being crawled is the company's content marketing operation rather than a changelog.

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.
Vendasta
5.0CRM
The tracked feed is agency marketing content, so Vendasta's actual shipping stays invisible here
◆ Current state
Every entry in this window is a Vendasta Blog post aimed at marketing agencies and local-business resellers — pricing frameworks, niche selection, buyer-intent checklists, and customer case studies with headline revenue figures. None of it describes a change to the Vendasta platform. The feed being crawled is the company's content marketing operation rather than a changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
What the content tells you is positioning, not product movement: the posts cluster hard on AI-agency economics, AI receptionists and missed-call capture, and AI search optimization as a replacement for classic local SEO. That is where Vendasta is aiming its reseller audience's attention, which is a reasonable proxy for where it wants its platform to be sold, but it is not evidence of what shipped.
◆ Prediction
Expect the same two-to-three posts a week on agency margins and AI service packaging. Until a genuine release feed is wired up, this product's real release cadence cannot be assessed from what is being collected.
