Function Point runs the studio. Forge builds the client tools.
Function Point is an all-in-one for creative shops - estimates, projects, time and billing in one internal system, priced per seat. Forge builds, brands, hosts and runs the custom client-facing tools your agency needs - client portals, status pages - on your domain, for one flat monthly price.
no code · we run the infrastructure · flat monthly pricingForge isn’t an app builder. It’s the managed internal-tools team for your agency.
Function Point manages the shop. Forge owns the client-facing layer.
Function Point is a solid agency-management system built for creative shops - estimates, project tracking, timesheets and invoicing in one internal place. If you want to run the studio's operations and finances from a single system and pay per seat, it does the job.
Where it stops is the client's side of the relationship, and customising to exactly how you work. Most agencies still want a branded space each client logs into, or a live status page that fits their process - without building or hosting it. Forge builds that around your agency, runs every piece of it, and charges one flat fee regardless of headcount.
Built for agency owners, not builders.
Opinionated presets, not a blank canvas
You don't want to describe an app from scratch - you want the right one. Forge gives you a catalog of agency tools (client portals, status pages, time tracking), set up by answering a few plain questions.
Fully managed - zero tech tax
Hosting, database, domains, secrets, updates - all on infrastructure we own and run, that your clients never see. You never connect a service, watch a meter, or redeploy anything.
Built for your whole client roster
Forge is designed around the agency-to-client relationship: a separate, branded, separately-tracked tool for each client - not one app at a time.
It gets better after launch
Every tool ships with usage analytics you can share with clients to prove value, and a feedback channel that quietly improves it - without you lifting a finger.
Flat, predictable pricing
One monthly subscription covers the AI and the hosting. No credits to burn, no usage meter to watch, simple to expense.
Improves for everyone, automatically
Because tools are built from structured presets, feedback from one agency improves the preset for all of them. The whole catalog gets better over time.
