01 · WHY CEROS

Why Ceros?

College experience interactive content with analytics

Creative freedom beyond templates.

Foleon gives you structured templates you can customize within. Ceros gives you a blank canvas with no grid constraints, no layout limits, and no creative ceiling. Designers build exactly what they imagine — unconventional layouts, pixel-perfect execution, immersive multi-step journeys — without hitting a wall.

Creative freedom beyond templates.

Interactive design canvas with animation controls

Beyond reports. The full content spectrum.

Foleon is purpose-built for long-form documents — reports, ebooks, proposals. Ceros covers everything your marketing team ships: landing pages, microsites, sales demos, product experiences, thought leadership hubs, and yes, reports too. One platform, one workflow, from awareness to close.

Beyond reports. The full content spectrum.

Abstract content layout with gradient block

AI that's actually a design collaborator.

Foleon's marketing claims "brand-trained, agentic AI." Their shipped product is a Gemini text rewriter, a basic image generator, and a DeepL translation wrapper. Flex AI is a canvas-aware design collaborator with four modes — Inspire, Plan, Build, Review — that understands your layout, hierarchy, and creative intent. Generally available since April 2026.

03 · DEEP DIVES

Why switch from Foleon to Ceros?

Creative freedom

↘

Break out of the template.

Foleon's templates are fast for straightforward documents — but when your team wants to go beyond the grid, you hit a wall. Ceros starts with a blank canvas. No pre-built layout constraints, no breakpoint compromises, no creative ceiling. Designers build exactly what they imagine — unconventional layouts, immersive animations, multi-step journeys — and marketers publish independently without waiting on dev.

Beyond articles

↗

One platform for every content type.

Foleon handles reports, ebooks, and proposals well. But most enterprise marketing teams also need landing pages, product demos, sales collateral, microsites, and thought leadership hubs. Switching tools for each content type means fragmented workflows, inconsistent brand execution, and more vendor relationships to manage. Ceros covers the full spectrum from one canvas.

Flex AI

↗

AI that designs with you — not just rewrites for you.

Foleon markets "brand-trained, agentic AI" with features like an Optimiser Loop and Insight Cards. Their shipped product is a Gemini text rewriter (off by default), a basic image generator, and a DeepL translation wrapper. Their most-promoted feature — the file-to-doc converter — was expected Q4 2025 and still hasn't shipped. Flex AI is a canvas-aware design collaborator with four modes (Inspire, Plan, Build, Review), generally available since April 2026, with 66% of beta users reaching Live Publish.

Enterprise scale

↗

Infrastructure that performs at every layer.

Ceros's HTML-first architecture delivers Lighthouse 95+ scores, schema.org markup, and WCAG 2.2 accessibility out of the box — so your content ranks in traditional search and gets cited in AI-generated answers. Brand Kit enforcement keeps teams on-brand across unlimited campaigns. SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and SSO are all included. Foleon doesn't match this performance and compliance layer at enterprise scale.

Common questions about Ceros vs. Foleon

What's the main difference between Ceros and Foleon?

▾

Foleon is a template-driven platform built for B2B teams that want to modernize document-style content — reports, ebooks, and proposals — quickly and without design resources. Ceros is a creative canvas built for teams that want to create immersive, interactive experiences across the full content lifecycle. The core difference is creative freedom and content breadth: Foleon works within structured templates; Ceros starts with a blank canvas and no constraints.

Can Ceros replace Foleon for reports and ebooks?

▾

Yes — Ceros handles reports, ebooks, and proposals, and goes further. The difference is that Ceros also covers every other content type your marketing team ships: landing pages, microsites, sales demos, product experiences, and thought leadership hubs. Teams that switch from Foleon to Ceros typically don't just replace their document workflow — they consolidate multiple tools into one platform.

How does Flex AI compare to Foleon's AI?

▾

Foleon's marketing promotes "brand-trained, agentic AI" with features like an Optimiser Loop, Insight Cards, and a file-to-doc converter. Their shipped product is a Gemini text rewriter (off by default), a basic image generator, and a DeepL translation wrapper — the file converter was expected Q4 2025 and still hasn't shipped. Flex AI is a canvas-aware design collaborator with four modes (Inspire, Plan, Build, Review), generally available since April 2026, with 10,000 free credits per month versus Foleon's 1,000.

Is Ceros harder to use than Foleon?

▾

For simple, template-based documents, Foleon has a lower learning curve — that's by design. Ceros is built for more creative ambition, which comes with more capability. That said, Flex AI significantly accelerates the learning curve — designers and marketers can generate layouts, copy, and structure from a prompt and refine from there. And Ceros's dedicated creative strategist and account team work with you hands-on from day one.
