Beyond digital documents. The Foleon alternative.

Clients from Foleon come to us when they've hit the ceiling. The template constraints, the iframe embeds, the inability to build anything beyond a digital brochure. Here's why they switch to Vev.

Yes, many of our clients switch from Foleon

Clients from Foleon keep booking demos with us because they’re frustrated, and they tell us all the reasons why they’re ready to make the switch.

What is Foleon? A no-code platform for creating interactive digital documents, like brochures, magazines, and reports, built around fixed templates. Teams that want to go beyond those templates typically need Foleon's professional services, which adds cost and slows production down.

What is Vev? The enterprise-first no-code platform for interactive web content. Where Foleon is built around digital documents, Vev is built for the full range—campaign pages, editorial features, immersive reports, microsites—published as clean HTML/CSS/JS directly into your CMS. With AI built into the canvas, your team goes from brief to live faster, without adding headcount or tools.

Content Foleon wasn't built for

Foleon is built around documents. Vev is built for everything else—the content types your team has been asking for but couldn't produce without a developer or an agency.

Scrollytelling

Parallax, scroll-triggered animations, and layered storytelling that moves with the reader. Not possible in Foleon.

Horizontal scroll

Campaign pages, product showcases, and editorial pieces that break out of the vertical document format entirely.

Immersive data

Annual reports and data-led content that readers actually engage with, rather than scroll past.

Creative freedom

Rigid block-and-page builder. Fine for simple layouts, but restrictive when you want to build custom content.

White large 'V', small 'V', and lowercase 'e' on a dark green background.

Free drag and drop canvas like Figma; build content with a wide selection of animation presets and native interactions.

Animations & Interactivity

Offers a basic set of entrance animations and hover effects.

White large 'V', small 'V', and lowercase 'e' on a dark green background.

Rich animation toolkit out of the box: parallax, scrollytelling, horizontal scrolling, video scroll, and custom transitions using native interactions.

Templates

Pre-made templates and saved blocks. Good for consistency, but you’re locked into Foleon’s framework.

Build your own branded library; reuse across markets and brands.

AI features

Focused on repurposing: converting PDFs/PPTs into digital docs and auto-translating content. AI capabilities are limited to reformatting existing assets, not generating new interactive content.

Vev AI is built into your production workflow. Element AI generates fully editable custom interactive elements from a text prompt, natively on the canvas. Describe it, watch it appear, refine it with the tools you already use. AI Page Draft creates full on-brand layout drafts from your libraries in seconds. No separate tools, no extra steps. Everything happens where you already build and publish.

Hosting & Performance

Publishes to “Foleon Docs” hosted on their cloud. You can embed via iframe (hurts SEO and load times).

Publish to Vev, your own servers, or directly into your CMS. Output is clean HTML/CSS/JS with server-side rendering, ensuring speed, SEO, and accessibility.

Code Flexibility

Customisation is limited to script injection via settings—no component-level control, no design system extensibility.

Extend with custom React components. Developers build them; designers tweak them visually without touching code.

Testing & Pricing

Sales-gated trial that requires commitment.

Myth

Fact

We often hear a few common misconceptions about Vev. Let’s clear them up.

Myth:

“Vev is just another digital document tool like Foleon.”

Myth:

“Foleon is simpler to use for non-designers.”

Facts:

Vev goes far beyond digital brochures. It’s built for everything from landing pages and campaign microsites to immersive reports and scrollytelling

Facts:

Vev's content-only editing mode and Libraries mean non-designers can update and publish content without touching the design layer. The difference is that when they want to do more, Vev lets them—Foleon doesn't.
