Twenty
Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Proposify and Twenty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Proposify 3 launches after 2.5 years of development—the platform's first complete architectural reset.
Proposify shipped its v3 platform in May 2025, a ground-up rebuild that reframes the product as a proposal experience layer rather than a document editor. The Q1 2026 update indicates steady post-launch iteration, with the team shipping new integrations and incremental improvements now that the architectural work is done.
Twenty 2.53 lets apps lock field permission actions, a day after role-aware relation pickers.
Twenty shipped 2.53.0 and 2.53.1 on Oct 28, a day after 2.52.0. The 2.53.0 notes list only docs translations; 2.53.1 lets applications disable field permission actions on the fields they own. 2.52 had made relation pickers offer only targets the current role may update, and 2.51 replaced BlockNote with TipTap and put custom roles behind a billing entitlement.

The 2.5-year development cycle means v3 is a fundamental platform rewrite. With the foundation in place, Proposify is expanding through vertical-specific integrations (Aspire for field services), broadening the seat model (Collaborator seats for non-sales stakeholders), and building the automation layer that underpins future AI capabilities. The 2024 public API positions Proposify to be embedded in custom sales stacks.
The next phase is AI-assisted proposal drafting—the 2024 automation engine is a natural foundation for AI-generated content components. Competitors PandaDoc and GetAccept shipped AI features during the 2.5-year v3 development window; Proposify needs to close that gap in 2026.

Releases are arriving almost daily now, and the visible changes keep landing on roles and permissions, both in the CRM UI and in what installed applications can control. The SDK is tagged in lockstep with each server version, so the app platform and the permission model are evolving together.
Expect 2.53.x patches with more app-level permission controls; the published notes are too thin to say what else 2.53 contains.
