common questions

the things people ask before texting folk.

short answers about what folk can do, what it costs, and how your data stays yours.

  • folk has its own computer and can do almost anything you'd do on a laptop. book restaurant tables, track flights, manage your email and calendar, send messages to your contacts, browse the web, run code, generate images, manage your instagram, set up automations that run while you sleep, and remember everything about you. it keeps getting new capabilities every week.
  • yes, that's where it's best. add folk's number to an imessage group (or the bot to a telegram group) and it becomes the friend in the thread that actually plans things: finds the night everyone's free, books the table, sends out the details. nobody else has to sign up or download anything.
  • folk sees the thread it was added to, same as any member. what's said in a group stays scoped to that group, it won't leak your personal memory into the chat, and it won't carry the group's chatter back into your private one.
  • no. in a group folk stays quiet until someone tags it or clearly asks for something. and it never books anything or spends money without someone saying yes first.
  • pro uses a fast, capable model built for everyday tasks. max uses the strongest reasoning model available for deeper thinking, priority processing, and higher daily limits.
  • yes. if you're in india, brazil, turkey, kazakhstan, or other emerging markets, folk is $5/mo. pricing adjusts automatically based on your phone number at checkout.
  • yes - the free tier is free forever with a monthly fair-use limit, no card needed. upgrade to pro ($20/mo, or $5/mo with regional pricing) whenever you want zero limits and folk working in the background.
  • yes. upgrade or downgrade anytime from your dashboard. if you switch mid-cycle, we prorate automatically.
  • yes. cancel from your dashboard in one click. no lock-in, no cancellation fees.
  • we do not guarantee refunds for charges already processed. you can cancel your subscription anytime from settings, and you won't be charged again.
  • same features, better models. pro gives you a fast, reliable AI for everyday use. max upgrades you to the best reasoning model available, with priority support and higher daily limits.
