The terms list folk max at $99.99 a month or $799.99 a year on the US App Store (https://www.folk.com/terms). llms.txt gives the free tier as 20 messages a day and Max as $100 a month. |\n| x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 found on folk.com, llms.txt, pricing.md or the terms, checked 14 October 2026. |\n| Licence | Closed service under folk's terms (Nozomio, Inc., last updated 8 September 2026). |\n| Docs | https://www.folk.com/docs |\n| llms.txt | https://www.folk.com/llms.txt |\n| Last release | 2026-10-12 |\n| Surface listed | folk, the texting assistant at folk.com by Nozomio, read from folk.com, llms.txt, pricing.md, the pricing page, terms, privacy policy, subprocessors and security.txt on 14 October 2026.

Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 25 | 5.0 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 10 | 1.6 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 3 | 0.5 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 30 | 3.8 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 35 | 3.1 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 57, provenance 76) | 7% | 8.8 | 67 | 5.9 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **19.8 → F** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 25: Read with the hosted lines. No status page found. status.folk.com resolves to the marketing site (0). No readable incident history (5). pricing.md, which llms.txt calls the structured pricing for AI agents, sets Free at 10 minutes of calls a week and Pro at 120 minutes a month, with messages unlimited under fair use. llms.txt gives the free tier as 20 messages a day. Numbers are published, the Marmot reading for plan limits, though two of the vendor's files disagree (10 of 15). No overload or retry guidance (0). No SLA (0). folk takes sign-ups, with WhatsApp rolling out by region, and isn't labelled beta (10).\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 10: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use, as GRADER.md asks. folk has no API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an agent, so the contract, description, typed-input and example lines score nothing (0 of 25, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15). That is a statement about agent access, not about the service for people. llms.txt and a Markdown pricing file served for agents (10). The versioning and changelog line versions an agent interface, and with none there is nothing to version, so it scores nothing (0 of 15), the reading the 12 October audit applied to every listing without an agent interface.\n- Agent ergonomics 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. folk has none, so context cost, pagination, errors, retries and defaults have nothing to score (0 on each line). This says nothing about the service for people.\n- Security \u0026 auth 3: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. With none for folk, the credential, least-privilege, injection and audit lines score nothing (0 of 30, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15), whatever the service does for its owner. The security programme line doesn't need an interface and is scored. For the record, Google apps can connect read-only, banks connect read-only through Plaid, sensitive iPhone Health, Calendar, Reminder and Contact writes need confirmation, and folk says it never moves money on its own. folk.com/.well-known/security.txt is valid to 13 April 2027 but names only support@nozomio.com, with no disclosure policy, bug bounty, certification or advisories found. That's the Instinct reading for a security.txt with a support address (3 of 20).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 30: Read with the hosted rule. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plans are public, Free, Pro at $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year ($5 a month in many countries) and Max at $99.99 a month on the US App Store per the terms ($100 in llms.txt), with no per-unit price (10). pricing.md says Free is $0 forever with no card (20). A person signs up at folk.com (0).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 35: Read for a closed service. folk's iOS app, sold by Nozomio Inc. and linking to folk.com, released 1.0.0 on 7 October and 1.1.0 on 12 October 2026 on the App Store (30). Two releases in the last 90 days and no changelog (0 of 20). Descriptive App Store notes and support@nozomio.com, which we didn't test, the reading taken for Caddy (5 of 15). No MCP server or SDK (0). No package or CI to judge (0). llms.txt says there's no app in the App Store, which the listing contradicts.\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 67: Closed service under terms updated on 8 September 2026 naming Nozomio, Inc. (15). The privacy policy of 8 October 2026 says folk never sells data or uses it to train AI models, model providers are on API terms that bar training, the LLM observability tools (Langfuse, Lemma and Raindrop) see message content only to fix replies, and account deletion removes memories, credentials and companion databases with retries for failed clean-up. Retention otherwise depends on the provider, with no periods (22 of 30). No deprecation policy or notices found (2 of 20). The subprocessor page of 11 October 2026 names each provider with a region (AWS in the United States, Daytona in the United States or EU) (18 of 20).\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (11 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/folk-nozomio.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/folk-nozomio.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- Which free-tier message limit applies, unlimited under fair use (pricing.md) or 20 a day (llms.txt).\n- How long data is kept by each provider.\n\n### Sources\n\n- pricing.md: \u003chttps://www.folk.com/pricing.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- llms.txt: \u003chttps://www.folk.com/llms.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- privacy policy: \u003chttps://www.folk.com/privacy\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- subprocessors: \u003chttps://www.folk.com/subprocessors\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- security.txt: \u003chttps://www.folk.com/.well-known/security.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- App Store listing and version history: \u003chttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/folk-friend-in-texts/id6800439069\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- terms (per the lister's read): \u003chttps://www.folk.com/terms\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- status subdomain (serves the home page): \u003chttps://status.folk.com/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 76/100, checked 2026-10-14)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | Nozomio, Inc. | 20/20 |\n| Domain age | folk.com, registered 1995-07-30 (31 years) | 15/15 |\n| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | no hosted endpoint | n/a |\n| Terms of service | published | 10/10 |\n| Privacy policy | published | 10/10 |\n| Status page | not found | 0/10 |\n| Changelog | not found | 0/10 |\n| security.txt | valid | 10/10 |\n\nThe terms name Nozomio, Inc. and were last updated on 8 September 2026, governed by Delaware law. llms.txt calls the maker Nozomio Labs.\n\nsecurity.txt is valid until 13 April 2027.\n\nNo status page or changelog was found.\n\nThe folk CRM at folk.app is a different company and product (data/tools/folk.json).\n\nRDAP gives a registration date of 1995-07-30 for folk.com, which predates the company.\n\n### Terms and privacy, as read\n\nA reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence.
