Lovable builds the app. Forge runs the whole thing.
Lovable turns a prompt into an app - then hands you the keys to connect a database, point a domain and watch your credits. Forge picks the right tool for your agency, builds it, and runs all the infrastructure for you. You never see it.
no code · we run the infrastructure · flat monthly pricingForge isn’t an app builder. It’s the managed internal-tools team for your agency.
Lovable nails the first 20 minutes. Forge owns everything after.
Lovable turns a prompt into a working app fast, and that part is genuinely impressive. If you want a blank canvas and you're happy to operate what comes out, it's a great tool.
But the moment it's generated, it's yours to run - connect a database, manage domains, redeploy on every change, and keep one eye on the credits. Forge starts from the tool your agency actually needs, builds it, hosts it and keeps it running. You never touch the technical parts.
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.
