Overview

folk overview: who it is for and what it does.

folk presents itself as a CRM for people-powered businesses: sales teams, agencies, investors, partnership managers and recruiters who manage relationships rather than complex account hierarchies. Contacts can be organised with tags, groups and custom fields to fit different relationship types such as clients, partners, investors or candidates, and pipelines track opportunities through stages. Independent listings describe it as a lightweight CRM with a simple interface and limited enterprise depth.

The product connects to email, calendar and WhatsApp to log communication, adds a LinkedIn extension for capturing contacts, and uses AI in the form of magic fields and assistants alongside contact enrichment and email campaigns. Premium adds custom objects and deals, email sequences, advanced roles and permissions, dashboards and API access. Independent reviews note there is no native iOS or Android app, though a Windows desktop app exists.

Pricing is per member per month, billed per workspace, with Standard at $20, Premium at $40 and Custom from $80 on annual billing ($25, $50 and $100 monthly). Each plan carries monthly limits on enrichments, AI fields, messages and synced email accounts, so heavy users may reach them. Every new workspace gets a two-week free trial with the premium features switched on, and members are added or removed on a prorated basis.
