Fonoster
Fonoster ships four releases in a day to make linking a Twilio number a single step.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Chanty and Salesmsg — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
Salesmsg Reviews can now trigger follow-ups automatically based on a customer's latest rating.
Salesmsg upgraded Reviews: follow-ups can fire automatically based on a customer's most recent rating, reviewers can be messaged in bulk or answered directly from review analytics, and results can be exported. It follows an official MCP server listed with Claude and ChatGPT, call tracking and AI call scorecards, and recurring NPS surveys that enrol contacts in automations.

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.
Expect more statistics roundups and comparison listicles; the feed gives no basis for predicting anything about the product.

Salesmsg is connecting feedback (surveys, NPS, reviews) to its texting and calling automations, so a customer's score decides what happens next. Alongside that, AI agents for calls and texts and the MCP server extend who, or what, can act on those conversations.
Expect review and survey scores to feed the AI texting and calling agents directly, and more CRM sync for review data.
