Machine-readable spec

OpenAPI spec retrieved

Checked 2026-09-24 against their pricing page. Vendors change pricing without notice.

folk is a relationship-first CRM aimed at teams (sales, agencies, startups, partnerships, venture capital) that live largely on LinkedIn and email rather than a heavyweight sales-ops stack.

Small sales teams, agencies, startups, partnership teams, and venture capital firms that manage relationships primarily through LinkedIn, email, and personal networks, and want a lighter, faster-to-adopt CRM than Salesforce or HubSpot rather than a highly configurable enterprise system.

REST API access, Zapier and Make apps, custom objects and deals, sequences, dashboards, and workspace roles are gated behind the Premium plan ($48/member/mo billed annually, $60 monthly), so teams that want to build on the API can't do it on Standard (the MCP server, by contrast, is listed on every plan). The pricing page mentions a free plan but publishes no free plan card or limits; the documented path is a 14-day trial after which the account is blocked until you upgrade.

Systems of record for customer relationships that treat the data model as programmable, competing on API quality and flexibility rather than on breadth of built-in modules.

Category: Modern and developer-facing CRM. Membership is decided by 3 stated tests, not by category tags — see them and the full comparison.
