Why Foldout

What Foldout does differently from Oracle NetSuite

Foldout is built around one job: the whole business of one person, in one window. Here is where that shows.

  • One database

    Prospects, content, deals and revenue sit in one database, not five apps held together by exports.

    See how it works

  • You approve, it runs

    Playbooks run the same steps every week and stop for your approval before anything ships.

    See how it works

  • AI on your own plan

    Foldout runs on the AI subscription you already pay for. No second AI bill, ever.

    See how it works

  • Pay once

    A perpetual licence with lifetime updates. No seat, no monthly line item.
