internal tools for agenciesnow in beta

Internal tools for agencies, built and run for you.

Every agency ends up needing the same internal tools - a client portal, a status page, a time tracker, a team homebase. Custom development runs $8,000-$50,000 and takes weeks; no-code hands you a second job; off-the-shelf SaaS fits no one. Forge is the third option: you answer a few questions, and we build the tool, host it, and keep it running.

the bottom line

Forge isn't an app builder. It's the managed internal-tools team for your agency.

the trade-off

Three ways agencies get tools - and why each one hurts

Today it's one of three, and each has a catch. Forge removes the trade-off: you describe what you need in plain language, and we handle everything technical and operational.

Hire a dev shop

You get exactly what you want - eventually, and expensively. Quotes start at five figures, timelines run months, and every change is another invoice.

Use a no-code platform

Cheaper, but the work shifts to you: wiring up data, designing screens, connecting hosting, managing logins, and maintaining it forever. You wanted a tool, not a side project.

Stitch together SaaS

Five tools, five logins, five bills - and none of them quite fit how your agency actually works.

why forge

Why agencies choose Forge over building it themselves

Zero technical work

We own the hosting, the database, the domains and the security. You never see them.

Live in minutes, not months

No 6-10 week build cycle, no dev backlog, no waiting.

Flat monthly pricing

One predictable price covers the AI and the hosting - no per-message credits ticking away.

Proof it's working

Every tool tracks usage you can share with clients, and a feedback widget that makes it better over time.

Made for agencies

Presets already know what an agency needs - it isn't built for anyone with an idea.

who it's for

Built for every kind of agency

Podcast agencies, design studios, marketing shops, dev agencies, recruiting firms - if you manage a roster of clients and a team, Forge fits. Run a podcast agency? We have a stack built for you (see the use cases in the footer).

questions

Frequently asked questions

What are internal tools for agencies?

Internal tools are custom apps built around your agency's exact workflows - client portals, status pages, time trackers, onboarding flows - that replace spreadsheets, email threads and generic SaaS. Forge builds and runs them for you.

Do I need to be technical to use Forge?

No. If you can answer a few questions about your agency, you can get a tool live. There's no building surface to learn and nothing to host.

How is this different from no-code tools like Softr or Noloco?

No-code platforms give you a canvas and leave the building and maintenance to you. Forge is a managed service - we do the building, hosting and upkeep, and the tools improve over time on their own.

How much does it cost?

A flat monthly subscription that covers both the AI and the hosting - far below custom development, and predictable, with no credits to count.

Where do my tools live, and is my data safe?

On their own secure link or your custom domain. Each tool's data is isolated, and we manage hosting and security for you.

Can I change a tool later?

Yes - request a change and we rebuild and republish it.
