The Folk alternative built for AI-native revenue teams
Folk is a lightweight CRM built around contacts and relationships, with email sync and a LinkedIn extension that make capturing people fast. Clentt is heavier on the workspace and workflow side: custom objects, kanban, visual workflows, AI chat with tool calling, and a plugin layer for outbound, enrichment, and meetings.

Where Folk shines
Folk is the cleanest contact-management CRM available right now. Email sync with Gmail and Outlook works well, the LinkedIn extension captures profiles into the CRM in one click, and pipelines for relationship-driven workflows feel light and fast. Strong fit for relationship-led GTM motions.
Where Clentt is different
Clentt is workflow- and plugin-first. Custom objects, visual workflows with credit-metered execution, kanban, and AI chat that acts on data via Model Context Protocol. Multi-provider enrichment, cold email through the Instantly plugin, and native meeting transcription are first-party. Folk is contact-centric; Clentt is workflow-centric.

When Folk is the right choice
Pick Folk when your GTM motion is relationship-led: founders, agencies, partnerships, fundraising, or any context where the artifact is people you know. Folk's email sync, LinkedIn capture, and lightweight pipelines were designed for that work.
When Clentt is the right choice
Pick Clentt when your motion is volume- and workflow-driven: outbound at scale, multi-step automation, enrichment-heavy programs, or AI agents that act on data through tool calling. Clentt's workflows, plugin architecture, and credit-metered usage are built for that.
Frequently asked questions
Does Clentt sync with Gmail or Outlook like Folk?
Clentt does not currently include first-party Gmail or Outlook sync. Email-based outbound runs through the Instantly plugin instead. If your motion depends on capturing one-to-one inbox conversations into a CRM, Folk is the better fit today.
Can I capture LinkedIn profiles into Clentt the way I do in Folk?
Clentt does not ship a LinkedIn extension. LinkedIn data is consumed through enrichment providers (RocketReach, ContactOut, Apollo, People Data Labs) inside workflows and the chat. Different shape: less one-click capture, more programmatic enrichment.
How does Clentt's pricing compare to Folk?
Folk uses per-seat pricing. Clentt uses credit-based per-seat pricing where enrichment lookups, AI tool calls, and workflow runs consume credits. For teams running enrichment-heavy or AI-driven programs, the credit model can be more aligned with cost. Pricing is announced at general availability.
