Folk vs IntegCRM: at a glance
What is Folk?
folk rebrands itself as the CRM for the agent era, after a month of MCP writes.
folk is a lightweight relationship CRM that widened its surface through the summer with a mobile app, Tasks, an Interactions API, an MCP connector and EU data residency. October added phone-number lookup, calling with recording, bulk MCP writes, a French interface and enrichment in the API and MCP. On November 6 it published a positioning page, 'The CRM for the agent era', with no new feature detail.
What is IntegCRM?
IntegCRM adds a spam check before campaigns go out, its second email-builder release in a week
IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and, lately, marketing email. Its newest release adds a pre-send spam check to the email builder, days after mobile view controls. The posts are headline-only with category tags, so the depth of each change is not visible.

Folk
5.0CRM
folk rebrands itself as the CRM for the agent era, after a month of MCP writes.
◆ Current state
folk is a lightweight relationship CRM that widened its surface through the summer with a mobile app, Tasks, an Interactions API, an MCP connector and EU data residency. October added phone-number lookup, calling with recording, bulk MCP writes, a French interface and enrichment in the API and MCP. On November 6 it published a positioning page, 'The CRM for the agent era', with no new feature detail.
◆ Where it's heading
The October releases made folk's data readable and writable by AI agents; the November page states that as the product's identity. The pitch is shifting from a simple CRM for people to the context store agents act on.
◆ Prediction
Agent-facing features, such as more MCP actions or agent-triggered workflows, are the likeliest next entries; the positioning page itself names none.
IntegCRM
5.0CRM
IntegCRM adds a spam check before campaigns go out, its second email-builder release in a week
◆ Current state
IntegCRM ships roughly one feature a month across invoices, bookings, forms and, lately, marketing email. Its newest release adds a pre-send spam check to the email builder, days after mobile view controls. 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.
