Pros

Beginner-friendly. It was a good option for us when we needed it and allowed us to manage our own FF&E.

Cons

Buggy, not easy to contact customer service. A little expensive for our need. Billing department unwilling to make any change or compromise. Not easy to cancel, no partial refund.

Hi Philippe, Thanks for your feedback — we really appreciate you sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you ran into. Since then, we’ve made key improvements: You can now cancel anytime through a link in the app. We've resolved many bugs and put a QA process in place to catch issues early. Support response times have improved significantly. As for pricing — we understand it may feel high for lighter use cases, but it reflects the depth and premium nature of our features, especially for teams managing complex FF&E workflows. Thanks again for your feedback — it’s helped us grow.

they wont refund and no response, ignoring all communications

Pros

the promise of spec writing, but that was just wishful thinking

Cons

that there was no product catalog, it was only a spreadsheet and you don't have a database or catalog

Hi Andrey, We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t match expectations — and we take this feedback seriously. Fohlio does support spec writing, and we’ve since expanded our product catalog capabilities, including integrations and templates to help teams build and reuse their own internal databases. We also want to acknowledge your frustration about communication — we’ve improved our support workflows and response times since your experience. While we don’t typically offer refunds past certain usage thresholds, we’re happy to look into your case if you’d like to reach out again. Thanks again for the feedback — it helps us continue to improve. Best, Fohlio

I'm in love with Fohlio! I recommend it to everybody. It's such a time saving tool, the more you use it, the more time you save.

Pros

Fohlio is the most powerful tool I've seen so far. I have been working with it for almost 5 years and they just keep on coming with better ideas all the time. I love how easy it is to use, I basically taught myself. But when I struggled, there is always someone that can lend me a hand. Their customer service is as good as their product. It's a must for architects, interior designers and anyone in the construction field. It is so customizable that I will probably be working with a gift curator on it! It can be used for almost any task where you need to store data and images, it's that versatile. If you have ever dealt with more than one spread sheet to do your job, you need Fohlio!

Cons

There isn't much say! Many of the corky things it had have been taken away.

Reasons for choosing Fohlio

Because it does what others can't. The customization and search capabilities make it so easy to use.

It means the world to us that you’ve not only stuck with us for 5 years, but have also become such a passionate advocate. We’re always working on new ways to make your workflow even smoother — and hearing feedback like this keeps us inspired. Thanks again for being part of the Fohlio community — we’re lucky to have you!

Pros

I like the features overall and the ease of inputting items.

Cons

It is constantly glitching - I get random duplicates of certain products that randomly appear and then disappear. The input will sometimes register my text or sometimes all together delete randomly what I have just input. When creating a proposal, etc. the money will not register correctly or will show a zero amount for each item and the total. It takes several hours to get a reply and help when this happens which is wasted downtime when working on a project so is very counter-productive to the process. Also, they have new search features but instead of allowing every paid person to access this they make you resign up with a higher amount after spending hundreds of dollars. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Response from Vendor

March 25, 2025

Hi Jesse, Thanks for sharing your experience — and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration you’ve faced. We’ve made major improvements since then: stability issues like disappearing items, incorrect totals, and input glitches have been addressed, and a QA process is now in place to prevent them going forward. We’ve also sped up response times and improved how we support teams during time-sensitive work. As for the upgraded features — we understand the concern. We’ve added powerful tools to help teams scale, but we’re also working on making access and transitions much smoother. Appreciate the feedback — it’s helped us improve.

I saved lots of time with inputting product information and making stunning presentations. It has never been easier to be creative, when you have the proper tools.

Pros

It is extremely difficult to pick just one feature that I absolutely love. I have to say that I love that the software can easily be customized to fit my needs, this is its major advantage.

Cons

The only thing I did not like was that at larger projects, the loading speed of the page decreased. But this is perfectly understandable. However, if some improvements could be made on speed performance, that would be amazing!

Hi Alexandra, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review — we love hearing how Fohlio’s flexibility has supported your creativity and saved you time! You’re absolutely right about large projects impacting speed — and great news: we've made significant improvements to performance and loading times for large datasets recently, with more optimizations on the way. We’re so glad Fohlio has become a valuable tool in your workflow — not just for designers and architects, but beyond! Thanks again for the kind words and continued support. Best, The Fohlio Team

Streamline Specification process

Pros

Our company use Fohlio for both our residential and commercial design projects. We have looked into quite a few interior design softwares and found Fohlio best fit for our specification needs. One big pro is that we can create custom templates for different type of schedules or calculate our project profit in different ways. Other softwares do not provide such flexibilities. Its workflow is also more natural to a design practice. I love how I can add product from vendor websites with Fohlio web clipper, and import my pin boards from Pinteret, and then create our centralized product library for future projects and mood boards

Cons

I wish they have more integrations with other project management softwares and provide more mobile friendly interface.

Hi Fiona, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear Fohlio has been such a strong fit for your FF&E specs and design workflows — it’s especially great to know you’re getting so much value from the templates, web clipper, and product library features. We appreciate your feedback on integrations and mobile — while we’re currently focused on deepening core functionality, we’ll definitely keep your input in mind. Thanks again for being part of the Fohlio community!
