# folk vs Sintra AI

> Sintra AI sells a team of AI employees for small-business tasks. Folk is one personal AI in your texts with its own cloud computer and real memory.

Sintra AI packages a set of AI helpers - marketing, support, sales, admin - as an AI employee team for small businesses, with a shared brain that learns about your company. Folk is one assistant rather than a roster, and it is built for your life as much as your work: it lives in your texts, has its own cloud computer, and remembers your people and routines.

## Why people switch from Sintra AI to folk

### one assistant, not a roster

Sintra splits work across named helpers, so you pick who to ask and each one has its own lane. Folk is a single assistant that carries every thread: the dinner reservation, the flight, the inbox, the research. Nothing gets handed off and nothing gets re-explained.

### folk has its own computer

Sintra's helpers work through prompts, templates, and integrations. Every folk user gets a dedicated cloud computer that browses the web, runs code, and connects to any tool over MCP, so folk can finish tasks that no template covers.

### your life, not just your business

Sintra is aimed squarely at small-business operations: content, outreach, support. Folk covers work tasks and the rest of your day too - booking, travel, errands, briefings, and the people you are trying to keep up with.

### simple, flat pricing

Sintra bundles its helpers into a monthly subscription with paid add-ons for extra capability. Folk is free to start, $20/month Pro, and $100/month Max, with the cloud computer, memory, and integrations included at every paid tier.
