Vero 2.0 is closing the parity gap with branching logic and SMS in Journeys.
Vero is filling out the 2.0 product surface as it transitions customers off 1.0: True/False and Exit nodes added real branching to Journeys for the first time, SMS landed as a multi-channel option, and CC support is rolling out (1.0 first, 2.0 soon). Naming was tightened so single-shot campaigns are now Broadcasts and ongoing automations are Journeys. Releases are typically published twice across feeds.
Moosend's feed is a steady email-marketing content mill, with no product releases visible.
The recent feed is entirely editorial: newsletter inspiration roundups, seasonal templates, and opinion pieces on metrics like open rates. These are top-of-funnel blog posts targeting email marketers, not changes to the Moosend product. No features, fixes, or capability shifts appear in the observable entries.

Naming was tightened so single-shot campaigns are now Broadcasts and ongoing automations are Journeys. Releases are typically published twice across feeds.
The work is unmistakably parity-driven: each release closes a gap between Vero 1.0 and the 2.0 platform that customers will eventually be migrated onto. Branching logic was a notable hole in 2.0 Journeys — that it was missing until March 2026 says something about the rebuild's pace. SMS introduces real multi-channel ambitions, but the platform is still on the road to feature-complete rather than expanding into new categories.
Expect the 2.0 migration to formalize as a deprecation timeline once CC and a few other 1.0-only features land in 2.0. The next directional move worth watching is whether Vero introduces AI-assisted journey building, since competitors like Customer.io and Iterable are now leaning into that space.

Moosend's visible cadence is content-led demand generation rather than a product roadmap. The product's actual direction can't be inferred from this feed — it surfaces blog publishing, not releases.
Expect continued seasonal and listicle content; no product move is predictable from these entries.
