Chanty vs Heymarket: at a glance
What is Chanty?
Chanty's feed is an HR statistics content mill, not a product changelog
Every entry in the window is a marketing article — referral, theft and satisfaction statistics roundups, plus a run of competitor-alternatives listicles published in a single batch. Nothing here describes a change to the messaging product itself.
What is Heymarket?
Heymarket's feed has gone all-in on SEO explainers, with product news nowhere in the recent window.
The last several weeks are definitional content: what conversational AI is, RCS versus SMS, what a shared inbox does. The most recent real product post in view is Escalations, and before that an RCS campaign walkthrough built on Twilio. Business messaging, a shared team inbox, and AI agents remain the three pillars the content keeps circling.

◆ Current state
Every entry in the window is a marketing article — referral, theft and satisfaction statistics roundups, plus a run of competitor-alternatives listicles published in a single batch. Nothing here describes a change to the messaging product itself.
◆ Where it's heading
The publishing effort is going into search-driven HR and collaboration content aimed at buyers comparing team chat tools, with the alternatives posts targeting Slack, Yammer, Jive, Google Chat and Skype by name. Product direction cannot be read from this feed at all.
◆ Prediction
Expect more statistics roundups and comparison listicles; the feed gives no basis for predicting anything about the product.
Heymarket
5.0COMMS
Heymarket's feed has gone all-in on SEO explainers, with product news nowhere in the recent window.
◆ Current state
The last several weeks are definitional content: what conversational AI is, RCS versus SMS, what a shared inbox does. The most recent real product post in view is Escalations, and before that an RCS campaign walkthrough built on Twilio. Business messaging, a shared team inbox, and AI agents remain the three pillars the content keeps circling.
◆ Where it's heading
The publishing mix has shifted away from release notes toward top-of-funnel search content, which makes the feed a poor proxy for shipping velocity. What product signal exists points at AI agents handling routine customer messaging and RCS as the richer channel Heymarket is betting on over plain SMS.
◆ Prediction
The repeated RCS and conversational-AI framing suggests the next real release lands in one of those two areas, but the current entries do not support a more specific call.
