NetHunt CRM vs Folk: at a glance
What is NetHunt CRM?
NetHunt CRM ships workflow, integration, and automation depth as it builds toward a more self-contained sales OS.
NetHunt CRM, a Gmail-native CRM, has been shipping steadily across automation, integration, and data quality work. Recent releases add Aircall integration for call logging, statistical email tracking fields, a workflow engine redesign with retry/cancel/history capabilities, and auto-creation of contacts from Gmail compose and social channels. The changelog entries lack timestamps, making cadence difficult to assess, but the breadth of changes suggests a sustained shipping pace.
What is Folk?
folk adds a command panel and quick-add tasks after its agent-era repositioning.
folk is a lightweight relationship CRM that widened its surface through the summer and autumn with a mobile app, Tasks, an Interactions API, an MCP connector with bulk writes, enrichment in the API and EU data residency. Call recording left beta on November 10, days after folk recast itself as 'The CRM for the agent era'. The 12 November release adds a command panel and quick-add tasks; the post gives little more detail.

NetHunt CRM
0.0CRM
NetHunt CRM ships workflow, integration, and automation depth as it builds toward a more self-contained sales OS.
◆ Current state
NetHunt CRM, a Gmail-native CRM, has been shipping steadily across automation, integration, and data quality work. Recent releases add Aircall integration for call logging, statistical email tracking fields, a workflow engine redesign with retry/cancel/history capabilities, and auto-creation of contacts from Gmail compose and social channels. The changelog entries lack timestamps, making cadence difficult to assess, but the breadth of changes suggests a sustained shipping pace.
◆ Where it's heading
NetHunt is expanding outward from Gmail toward a broader sales operations platform: telephony integration (Aircall, Ringostat, Binotel), messenger support, improved webforms, and enhanced automations. The workflow redesign—which adds retry logic, cancellation controls, and run history—indicates the product is maturing its automation engine for teams running complex multi-step sales processes.
◆ Prediction
More telephony and communication integrations are likely given the pattern. The automation redesign suggests upcoming improvements to trigger logic or condition branching. Email deliverability tooling (custom SMTP, manual send delays) points toward continued investment in outreach capabilities.
Folk
5.0CRM
folk adds a command panel and quick-add tasks after its agent-era repositioning.
◆ Current state
folk is a lightweight relationship CRM that widened its surface through the summer and autumn with a mobile app, Tasks, an Interactions API, an MCP connector with bulk writes, enrichment in the API and EU data residency. Call recording left beta on November 10, days after folk recast itself as 'The CRM for the agent era'. The 12 November release adds a command panel and quick-add tasks; the post gives little more detail.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases alternate between agent access (MCP writes, API enrichment) and everyday usability for sales reps (calling, French, now shortcuts). The positioning says agents, but most shipped work still serves the person doing the selling.
◆ Prediction
Expect further MCP and API coverage of folk's objects, likely tasks and calls, so agents can act on the same loop reps use. The thin recent posts make timing unclear.
