What is HeyForm?
HeyForm's v3 has been in release candidates for months, now moving mostly on community fixes.
HeyForm has been on v3.0.0 release candidates since at least March 2026, and the recent cuts are small: Italian and Brazilian Portuguese localization, an IPv6 bypass fix in the outbound SSRF guard, and plain-text rendering of group page titles. Most recent changes come from first-time contributors.
What is Salesloft?
Post-merger Salesloft is racing to make its data reachable from whatever AI tool the rep already has open.
Salesloft publishes monthly release notes covering the whole post-merger surface — its own cadence and conversations products plus Clari and Groove. The through-line since April is agentic access: an MCP server exposing live pipeline, call and account data to AI tools, then that same server packaged as a ChatGPT custom connector. Both sit behind the Salesloft Agentic add-on and an admin toggle. Elsewhere the notes are governance and analytics work — call recording visibility tiers, AI usage metrics, sorting and filtering.
HeyForm vs Salesloft: editorial side-by-side
HeyForm
0.0MARKETING
HeyForm's v3 has been in release candidates for months, now moving mostly on community fixes.
◆ Current state
HeyForm has been on v3.0.0 release candidates since at least March 2026, and the recent cuts are small: Italian and Brazilian Portuguese localization, an IPv6 bypass fix in the outbound SSRF guard, and plain-text rendering of group page titles. Most recent changes come from first-time contributors.
◆ Where it's heading
The v3 line is in a long stabilization phase with localization and security patches rather than new form features. Releases have slowed to roughly one every three to six weeks, and nothing has shipped since mid-July.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not show what is blocking a v3.0.0 final; the next release is more likely another RC with community fixes than a stable cut.
Salesloft
3.8MARKETING
Post-merger Salesloft is racing to make its data reachable from whatever AI tool the rep already has open.
◆ Current state
Salesloft publishes monthly release notes covering the whole post-merger surface — its own cadence and conversations products plus Clari and Groove. The through-line since April is agentic access: an MCP server exposing live pipeline, call and account data to AI tools, then that same server packaged as a ChatGPT custom connector. Both sit behind the Salesloft Agentic add-on and an admin toggle. Elsewhere the notes are governance and analytics work — call recording visibility tiers, AI usage metrics, sorting and filtering.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI story is deliberately being told twice: new metrics count Account researched, Person researched and Agent tasks completed so customers can see AI adoption, while MCP makes that AI reachable from outside Salesloft entirely. That second move is the more consequential one — it concedes the rep may live in ChatGPT and positions Salesloft as the data layer rather than the interface. The Clari merger is still mostly cross-referenced rather than integrated in these notes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Agentic add-on to keep accumulating the AI functionality while base tiers get the analytics that measure it, and further connectors beyond ChatGPT for the same MCP server. How deeply Clari and Salesloft actually merge in the product remains unstated.
