Streak vs Twenty: at a glance
What is Streak?
Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.
Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.
What is Twenty?
Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
Twenty 2.52.0 has a breaking change: apps can now connect accounts through their own authorization flow, and members manage personal app connections from preferences. The release also adds inbox thread sharing, global chat commands, email approval review, and weekly AI credits shown in chat. Much of the rest rebuilds record-form editing for emails, phones, links, files and addresses, and brings back table and toggle controls lost in 2.51's TipTap switch.
Streak vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side
Streak
5.0CRM
Streak ships AI autofill templates that score deals and research accounts in one click.
◆ Current state
Streak is a Gmail-embedded CRM building on two tracks: live collaboration (viewing indicators on desktop and mobile, mobile data validation, activity-triggered automations) and AI access to deal data. The Claude connector brought outside AI tools in; the new AI autofill templates bring AI into the pipeline itself as columns with ready-written prompts for lead scoring and account research.
◆ Where it's heading
AI is moving from an external integration to something inside the pipeline grid. With automations that fire on new emails, calls and meeting notes, Streak has the parts for pipelines that update and enrich themselves from inbox activity.
◆ Prediction
More AI column templates are the likely next step, and possibly automations that trigger on AI-filled values such as a lead score crossing a threshold.
Twenty
5.0CRM
Twenty 2.52 lets apps run their own account-connection flows and adds inbox sharing.
◆ Current state
Twenty 2.52.0 has a breaking change: apps can now connect accounts through their own authorization flow, and members manage personal app connections from preferences. The release also adds inbox thread sharing, global chat commands, email approval review, and weekly AI credits shown in chat. Much of the rest rebuilds record-form editing for emails, phones, links, files and addresses, and brings back table and toggle controls lost in 2.51's TipTap switch.
◆ Where it's heading
Twenty is pushing its app platform outward: third-party apps now own their auth and channels, and SDK packages ship in lockstep with core. Alongside it, the product is building a shared inbox and an AI chat with metered credits and human approval steps. The editor and form work shows a team still paying down 2.51's TipTap migration.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 2.52.x patch round for the new connection flow and record-form bricks, and more approval-gated AI actions in chat. Removal of the deprecated blocknote sub-field is still pending.
