IntegCRM vs Folk: editorial side-by-side
IntegCRM
5.0CRM
IntegCRM adds document folders, turning back to client records after two email releases.
◆ Current state
IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and marketing email. The newest release lets users organize a client's documents into folders, after a pre-send spam check and mobile view controls in the email builder. The posts are headline-only with category tags, so the depth of each change is not visible.
◆ Where it's heading
The recent run of releases points at email marketing as the active build area, after a year spent on invoicing and bookings. Back-to-back email-builder releases suggest IntegCRM wants campaigns to work inside the CRM without a separate email tool.
◆ Prediction
More email-builder work looks likely, plausibly deliverability or campaign reporting, though the headline-only changelog makes the specifics hard to call.
Folk
5.0CRM
folk now pitches itself as the CRM for the agent era.
◆ Current state
folk is a CRM for small sales teams that has spent the autumn opening its data to AI agents. A November 6 post repositions it as 'the CRM for the agent era', turning customer data into context agents act on. October added bulk create and update through folk MCP, enrichment through the API and MCP, call recording in beta and a French interface.
◆ Where it's heading
The positioning now matches what the releases have been building: MCP access, bulk writes and self-enrichment make folk a data layer agents can use. The new post states the direction but ships no new feature itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to give agents more write actions through MCP, such as tasks or pipeline moves, to back up the new positioning.
