HubSpot Breeze
HubSpot AI for marketing, sales, service, content, and CRM productivity.
MarketingFreemium
Lightweight relationship CRM with a Chrome extension, enrichment and AI-written follow-ups for small teams and agencies.
Overview
folk is a simple CRM aimed at founders, agencies, consultants and small sales teams that find traditional CRMs heavy. Contacts are captured from Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn and websites through the folkX Chrome extension, then organized into pipelines with custom fields. Its AI features write follow-up emails from contact context, enrich contacts with emails, phone numbers and company data using a shared credit pool, and suggest next steps. A small business typically uses it to track partnerships, investor outreach or a sales pipeline alongside the inbox, with email sequences sent directly from the CRM. It integrates with Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, Slack, Notion, Zapier, Make and Calendly, and offers an API on higher tiers. A real caveat is that deal pipelines, sequences and dashboards are gated behind the Premium plan, and the Standard plan shares a single pool of 500 enrichment credits across the whole workspace.
