Against the incumbents · Vol. II
Five head-to-heads,
five different arguments.
Comparison pages are usually theatre. These aren't. Each of the five below picks a different axis on which Folio and the incumbent actually diverge — and says plainly when the other is the right answer.
- 01The 'send as' ceiling Folio vs. Gmail aliasesWhy aliasing is a useful setting, not a multi-identity inbox. DKIM, reply-From, and thread collapse — feature by feature.Read →
- 02Priced per user, not per domain Folio vs. Google WorkspaceWorkspace is priced for teams, not readers: one seat hosts many domains, or a tenant per entity for separation — plus the admin-console tax.Read →
- 03Outlook plus the bundle, per user Folio vs. Microsoft 365Microsoft 365 is Office, not just email. When the bundle is worth $6/user/month per business — and when it isn't.Read →
- 04Cheapest per-user vs. flat operator Folio vs. Zoho MailZoho is the budget per-user option. Folio is single-operator and flat. Where the lines cross at 3, 5, 10 domains.Read →
- 05One mailbox vs. one per identity Folio vs. FastmailFastmail is the best craft-first webmail. We take the opposite approach to multi-identity. When each is the right answer.Read →
