Twenty vs Folk: at a glance
What is Twenty?
Twenty's sprint through v2.39-v2.40 stabilizes yarn pull and relicenses UI components as MIT.
Twenty is in a rapid patch cadence — multiple releases per day — focused on two parallel workstreams: hardening the yarn twenty pull code-sync command and cleaning up a licensing inconsistency. The twenty-ui package has been republished under MIT to resolve a stale AGPL dependency that blocked commercial use of the UI component library. Most patches are internal infrastructure fixes.
What is Folk?
Folk launched an MCP server and a mobile app in the same summer — two distinct distribution bets at once.
Folk shipped MCP integration twice in this window: the original Meet folk MCP in July (connecting CRM data to AI assistants) and a follow-on folk MCP feature that turns interaction history into AI-queryable insights. The mobile app launch — Contacts by folk — with talk-to-text and a business card scanner positions folk as a capture tool in the field, not just a desktop CRM. The Interactions API beta opens the data layer to external builders.
Twenty vs Folk: editorial side-by-side
Twenty
10.0CRM
Twenty's sprint through v2.39-v2.40 stabilizes yarn pull and relicenses UI components as MIT.
◆ Current state
Twenty is in a rapid patch cadence — multiple releases per day — focused on two parallel workstreams: hardening the yarn twenty pull code-sync command and cleaning up a licensing inconsistency. The twenty-ui package has been republished under MIT to resolve a stale AGPL dependency that blocked commercial use of the UI component library. Most patches are internal infrastructure fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The yarn twenty pull feature (write an installed application back to source code) is the main forward-looking investment in this window. The v2.40.0 fix completing the 'not exported yet' list shows this feature is being actively hardened for production use. With the MIT relicense of the UI components, the conditions for third-party developers building on top of Twenty's frontend are cleaner.
◆ Prediction
The pull/export workflow will reach stability around v2.41-v2.42, with export coverage for the currently unsupported types (roles, permissions, logic functions) arriving in subsequent patches. The MIT relicense may accelerate third-party component usage once it propagates through dependent registries.
Folk
6.3CRM
Folk launched an MCP server and a mobile app in the same summer — two distinct distribution bets at once.
◆ Current state
Folk shipped MCP integration twice in this window: the original Meet folk MCP in July (connecting CRM data to AI assistants) and a follow-on folk MCP feature that turns interaction history into AI-queryable insights. The mobile app launch — Contacts by folk — with talk-to-text and a business card scanner positions folk as a capture tool in the field, not just a desktop CRM. The Interactions API beta opens the data layer to external builders.
◆ Where it's heading
Folk is building a CRM designed for AI-native workflows: MCP for AI assistant connectivity, talk-to-text for frictionless capture, and the Interactions API for developers who want to build on top of the sales data. The Auto-fill AI (April) and MCP launches together suggest folk is positioning as the CRM that does the data work automatically rather than requiring manual entry.
◆ Prediction
The Interactions API graduating from beta — with full read/write access to CRM data — would enable folk to power third-party AI sales tools and outbound automation workflows, expanding beyond the native product.
