Folk vs NetHunt CRM: 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 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.
Folk vs NetHunt CRM: editorial side-by-side
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.
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.
