# #4 folk

folk is a CRM for small sales teams that combines contact management with data enrichment, email and LinkedIn sequences, pipeline tracking, a Chrome extension and Gmail and LinkedIn integrations. Website: folk.app. Category: [CRM](https://gtmranked.com/best/crm/). Score 41/100 (5 positive, 2 mixed, 1 negative of 8 independent comments).

**Verdict:** Independent discussion is thin: only eight non-promotional comments carry a real opinion. Those users like folk as a simple, quick-to-set-up CRM for solo founders and small teams, and one returned to it because it works with their own AI through MCP. The trade-offs they report are limited data export, a lack of advanced features that pushed one user to Pipedrive, and no mobile app. Promotion is heavy: about 40% of the comments that remained after filtering read as seeded or marketing, several repeating the same 'clean, simple, great for relationships' talking points, and many more were removed earlier as repeat promoters.
