See price history: Folk · Freshsales
Lightweight, modern CRM built around contacts and relationships. Spreadsheet-style interface with a Chrome extension (folkX) for capturing contacts from LinkedIn and the web. Popular with founders, investors, agencies, and operators who want a CRM without the Salesforce complexity. Pipelines, email sequences, dashboards, and API access on the Premium tier.
CRM from Freshworks (publicly traded, ~$5B market cap), positioned as the value alternative to Salesforce Starter and HubSpot Sales. Distinctive for its Freddy AI features built in at lower tiers rather than charged separately at competitors. Notable 2026 pricing move: cut Growth plan from $15 to $11/user in June 2026 to defend the low end against HubSpot Free and monday CRM. Popular with SMB sales teams that outgrew spreadsheets.
