Encharge grinds through reliability and security fixes, with an MCP teased next
Encharge is in a steady maintenance-and-hardening phase. The two most recent monthly updates are dominated by fixes — multi-select fields across forms and segments, HubSpot date sync, sending reliability — plus security work: signups now require email confirmation, form notifications only send from verified senders, and stronger bot and spam protection. It's an email-automation product tightening its foundations rather than expanding surface area.
Saleshandy adds 7.7M people in October's Lead Finder refresh and reports on recent web flaws.
Saleshandy's recent releases center on Lead Finder: monthly data refreshes with published counts, ~8x faster contact reveals and CSV-based exclusion of contacts users already own. The October refresh added 7.7M people and updated 190M records, slightly below September's 8.08M and 249.8M. A separate post says the eMudhra key issue and the PHP and Node.js flaws did not affect accounts, and that services and servers were patched.

It's an email-automation product tightening its foundations rather than expanding surface area.
The arc is deliberate stability: quarter after quarter of email-editor, forms, flows, and integration fixes, with incremental additions like a marketing-consent field and smoother sending autoscaling. The one forward signal is an Encharge MCP now in testing — the first hint of an agent-facing layer on top of the existing automation engine — alongside a Shopify connector app in progress.
The Encharge MCP is the most likely next headline; expect it to ship out of testing, with the in-progress Shopify connector close behind. Otherwise the cadence points to continued reliability and integration work.

Lead Finder is becoming the product's core, with data freshness reported like a metric and features aimed at saving reveal credits. The security post continues a habit of plain-language customer communication seen in the monthly data updates.
Expect a November data refresh with published counts and more Lead Finder filtering or credit-saving features. The entries don't show new work on sequences or the dialer.
