Folk vs Wealthbox: at a glance
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.
What is Wealthbox?
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
Folk vs Wealthbox: editorial side-by-side
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.
Wealthbox
7.5CRM
Wealthbox puts 24 prebuilt AI agents on every plan, at no extra charge.
◆ Current state
Wealthbox launched AI Agents on November 4 on all plans: 24 prebuilt agents or ones firms build themselves. It caps a busy stretch: a Developer Portal for AI Assistant integrations with Holistiplan and Nitrogen, the $29 Vault add-on for compliant file storage, CarPlay access to the assistant and Formula Fields in the core CRM.
◆ Where it's heading
Wealthbox has moved from an assistant that answers questions to agents that do work, while charging for storage and compliance rather than AI. Partner integrations through the Developer Portal give those agents more data to act on.
◆ Prediction
Expect agents that use partner data from Holistiplan or Nitrogen, and more prebuilt agents; the entries do not list the 24 or the build tools in detail.
