# Attio vs. Folk

> Folk and Attio both offer modern alternatives to heavyweight CRM software, but they optimize for different kinds of work. Folk turns familiar lists into a lightweight relationship workspace with contact capture, enrichment and outreach close at hand. Attio uses objects, records, attributes and lists to let a team model a broader go-to-market system, then add workflows, reports and sequences. The practical choice is less about feature counts than about whether a team wants spreadsheet familiarity or a system designed to replace spreadsheet logic.

## Achievements

- Attio reported 5,000 paying customers when it announced its Series B in August 2025.
- Attio announced $116 million in total funding after its August 2025 Series B.
- folk grew from an internal eFounders contact tool into a standalone relationship-focused CRM.
- Both products combine contact synchronization, enrichment and outreach with collaborative CRM workflows.
