Folk vs Proposify: at a glance
What is Folk?
folk turns its CRM into a data source agents can write to in bulk and enrich on their own.
folk is a CRM for small sales teams that has been opening its data to AI agents. October added bulk create and update through folk MCP, contact enrichment through the API and MCP, call recording in beta and a French interface. A phone number finder arrived on Oct 1. The summer brought the MCP server, insights over interaction history and a mobile capture app.
What is Proposify?
Proposify 3 launches after 2.5 years of development—the platform's first complete architectural reset.
Proposify shipped its v3 platform in May 2025, a ground-up rebuild that reframes the product as a proposal experience layer rather than a document editor. The Q1 2026 update indicates steady post-launch iteration, with the team shipping new integrations and incremental improvements now that the architectural work is done.

Folk
5.0CRM
folk turns its CRM into a data source agents can write to in bulk and enrich on their own.
◆ Current state
folk is a CRM for small sales teams that has been opening its data to AI agents. October added bulk create and update through folk MCP, contact enrichment through the API and MCP, call recording in beta and a French interface. A phone number finder arrived on Oct 1. The summer brought the MCP server, insights over interaction history and a mobile capture app.
◆ Where it's heading
folk is building the pieces for agents to run prospecting inside the CRM: find contacts, enrich them, update them in bulk and log calls. Localization suggests a push into European markets.
◆ Prediction
More agent-facing write actions and enrichment sources are likely next; the entries do not show how enrichment will be priced.
Proposify
0.0CRM
Proposify 3 launches after 2.5 years of development—the platform's first complete architectural reset.
◆ Current state
Proposify shipped its v3 platform in May 2025, a ground-up rebuild that reframes the product as a proposal experience layer rather than a document editor. The Q1 2026 update indicates steady post-launch iteration, with the team shipping new integrations and incremental improvements now that the architectural work is done.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.5-year development cycle means v3 is a fundamental platform rewrite. With the foundation in place, Proposify is expanding through vertical-specific integrations (Aspire for field services), broadening the seat model (Collaborator seats for non-sales stakeholders), and building the automation layer that underpins future AI capabilities. The 2024 public API positions Proposify to be embedded in custom sales stacks.
◆ Prediction
The next phase is AI-assisted proposal drafting—the 2024 automation engine is a natural foundation for AI-generated content components. Competitors PandaDoc and GetAccept shipped AI features during the 2.5-year v3 development window; Proposify needs to close that gap in 2026.
