Oleksii is very easy to work with. He's always looking for feedback. Wonderful developer and a nice app! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Tons of value compared to monthly SaaS alternatives, and just as feature-packed. Huge time saver! #### Cons The UI is a bit buggy sometimes but it's a young app and the developer takes feedback seriously. A bug I was having was fixed within 1 day of emailing. Well worth the up-front investment for a Pro license. #### Reasons for choosing Folge Scribe's 5 license minimum is too expensive for a startup and how often we use it. It would provide better value if we had the 5 users to meet the demand. #### Reasons for switching to Folge Scribe's pricing is too expensive for a small shop like us. --- ### Folge Is Fantastic - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Charlie D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mechanical or Industrial Engineering - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend Folge and have had many compliments on the guides I have created #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how simple and streamlined the process is to create pdf guides. The outputted PDF looks very professional and is very easy to customize too. I had a couple of queries and [sensitive content hidden] has replied very quickly to my emails and has solved any issue I had. I also love that it isn't subscription based. #### Cons I don't have any complaints / issues with Folge, It has been brilliant and saved me so much time and effort. #### Reasons for choosing Folge It Isn't subscription based and has a better trial period --- ### Good product that helps create guide for users - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kraisit V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Friendly User Interface and regular update. #### Cons Very Few.

Easy to use and the instructions look professional. What I really like is that the support desk ([sensitive content hidden]) is open to input and feedback to improve the app and he responds quickly when you get stuck somewhere. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is easy but also flexible to use, you can design instructions in different ways as you wish. Tip: because of the many possibilities, check the manual on their website: https://folge.me/help/guide/ In addition, it is very easy to adjust instructions when there are changes. #### Cons There are some features that could be better or are missing, but I am already in contact with Oleksii about that and he is really willing to help to improve the app. #### Reasons for choosing Folge Easy to use and price did not match at Scribe. #### Reasons for switching to Folge Less possibilities in design, therefore price and quality ratio. --- ### This is the best software for preparing documentation. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros the one time cost is a novelty in today's digital marketplace. Knowing that I own my technology/software gives me peace of mind as not only someone who does contract work on the side, but also has a company machine that I have to use for me daily driver. It is incredibly simple to use, even my less than literate users are able to now develop their own documentation outlines and have the IT team or someone else on their own team help to finish up the more technical side. This is the end all be all of documentation software for me and I will be using it exclusively for the rest of my career. #### Cons There is not much that I can complain about really. I would like their to be a mobile app or some kind of mobile connection that could be established to make creating tablet or smartphone documentation easier, but even then that's not really all that necessary. #### Reasons for switching to Folge Cost and useability. I could easily create a document for something that was in a browser window, but without paying a monthly or annual fee I was unable to record anything on my desktop. 50% of my workflow requires cmd line inputs and not being able to adequately take notes or screen shots of what I am putting in powershell or how we need to setup workstations makes those other products useless. --- ### Folge is easy to use and provides a lot of features - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jordan R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Solid, i have had hundreds of screenshots in a document before, and while it was large, performing some cropping helped reduce the size, but the fact that Folge keeps the original screenshot instead of over writing it with the crop has always been amazingly useful. I love that I can remove the crop and do it again if it does not provide all of the information, even if its a year later. Adding pointers, highlighters, and other information to images has been very useful, and the fact that its all hot keyed makes it even better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros One of the reasons we use Folge is because it is easy to use, the editing with hot keys are great, keeping it simple but providing a lot of useful features. #### Cons Honestly, not an issue with the software, but i wish i could output into our documentation platform. Currently i use the export to word, then copy that in and modify the formatting to fit within the documentation platform. The platform we use is not heavily used in the world, so its not really a worthwhile time investment to implement. I wish they would handle the import the word documents or another format that folge uses in a more reliable way so it was easier to bring them over there. #### Reasons for choosing Folge Hot Keys and simple functionality with a lot of ways to export the data, while holding on to the original data.Three suggestions for Folge... A cropping feature that removers a vertical or horizontal section of the screenshot, places a divider line (maybe something a little fancy that you can select like a tear), and brings both sides together. That way you can remove a lot of dead screen space between two parts that you are showing on the screen at once.Second suggestion, allow for gif recordings and editing. Many times a screenshot is good enough, but several times, i could remove 10-30 screenshots for one small gif. Even if it was selecting the screenshots in order and creating a gif off of all of the steps to turn it into one step would be very helpful. To expand on it, having gif export as an option would be helpful as well. Maybe the step title and description text can be placed around the various images in the gif by the designers choice.That brings me to the third one, keep the text box to add text to an image, but also add a box to place the title and/or description for the step in the image, and then give the option, if its in the image, to not place it in the export document. #### Reasons for switching to Folge Does not have the features and it is incredibly slow for documentation. --- ### Great Software, does exactly what you need - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Scott L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Folge has been Great, and I have even been in contact with the developer who is very responsive on email for support, and assistance. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ability to take screenshots, number them, and mark them up from either within the app, or import is great.This product, while the name may be deceiving, at least in English, what you get is a sold workhorse program to capture steps, and create consistent quality documentation and step-by step guides. As an IT Manager, being able to produce these quickly and effortlessly is essential, and Folge comes through with flying colours. #### Cons I sometimes have trouble making the screenshots and the text fit nicely from page to page. #### Reasons for switching to Folge When Screensteps changed their licensing plan, and the way their software is used, I was very unhappy. I loved the simplicity, and consistent look and feel their product gave my documentation.I was so happy when I found Folge, because feature for feature, it even surpasses what I used to use, and I'm so happy to have found a tool to keep doing what I need. --- ### Amazing app. Much better than the more expensive alternatives. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kenny L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Folge has been a game-changer for me and my business. As someone deeply invested in documenting standard operating procedures, I couldn't have asked for a better tool. It's rich in features, streamlined, and intuitive, making scaling my operations a breeze. The developer's dedication shines through in every aspect of the software, and it's clear they've poured their heart and soul into creating something truly remarkable. Folge has my full support and gratitude! #### Cons There are really no cons that I can think of. I just hope he continues to get new users so the software only gets better and better over time! #### Reasons for choosing Folge Cost was a huge factor and knowing that the developer is independent. I love supporting! #### Reasons for switching to Folge Scribe is too costly and not feasible for small businesses --- ### Write Expressive Documentation Quickly and Easily - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kennon B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Folge works as a tool should. It gets out of the way and allows me to succeed in what I'm trying to accomplish. The beauty in Folge is that it works behind the scenes. You turn it on and then just work. It will be there documenting along the way. Let's say you want to show someone how to work on a spreadsheet process in Excel, or how to manage a YouTube channel, or MindMap an involved concept. Start Folge and then work away. After you are finished, hop back into Folge and you can add additional clarifying content to each captured step. Add shapes, text, numbered stepped, and even write copy that goes alongside each image. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There are a number of things that I like about this software, but the feature that I think is the most useful is the ability to record what you are doing as you work. Folge will capture screenshots as you click, and auto-create steps that you can then fill in the details for after you are finished working. This makes the overall documentation process so much easier and effective. #### Cons Folge is still relatively new software. There are rough edges, but I have no features missing that impede my ability to work effectively with this tool. Any feature, or thought, I've had has been quickly responded to by the developer. #### Reasons for choosing Folge Evernote has the ability to create shareable documents where you can outline images alongside text with on image annotations. The issue is that you have to capture these images yourself as you go and it's quite cumbersome to keep them organized as you are working and then have to lay it all out in an Evernote document later. Technically you could use Microsoft Word, or Apple Pages, too, but they would all be subpar for creating these guides. #### Reasons for switching to Folge I was using a piece of software called Clarify by the same company that makes ScreenSteps. However they decided to abandon Clarify and push people to ScreenSteps. However ScreenSteps is a significant monetary investment. --- ### Awesome Tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: John A. L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are leveraging Folge to help simplify the creation of training documentation for both our clients as well as for our internal team. It's fantastic! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Affordable and feature-rich with capabilities that are superior to other far more expensive solutions. #### Cons Zero complaints. The developer cares and is always working to make the product better. #### Reasons for choosing Folge Blue Mango killed Clarify It and forced folks to adopt Screen Steps instead which is a far more expensive solution... #### Reasons for switching to Folge Clarify-It discontinued --- Showing 1 - 10 of 102 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/document-generation/folge-profile/reviews/) ## Folge Popular Comparisons [Microsoft Word vs Folge](https://www.softwareadvice.com/document-generation/folge-profile/vs/microsoft-word/)[Adobe Acrobat vs Folge](https://www.softwareadvice.com/content-collaboration/adobe-acrobat-dc-profile/vs/folge/)[Google Workspace vs Folge](https://www.softwareadvice.com/document-generation/folge-profile/vs/google-workspace/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/document-generation/folge-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
