Replit is a coding environment. Forge is a team that builds for you.
Replit gives you an AI-powered editor and somewhere to put it live - you're still the developer and the operator. Forge builds custom software for people businesses - agencies, accountants, lawyers, consultants, recruiters. We design, build and look after the automations your agency needs. No editor, no launch steps, nothing technical on your side.
Nothing technical on your side · we build it and look after it · runs on your own accountsForge isn’t another tool to configure. We build the tool you actually need and look after it.
Replit is for builders. Forge is for agency owners.
Replit is a great environment for developers and technical builders who want to write, run and ship code quickly. If that's you, it's a strong choice.
Most agency owners don't want to become developers. Forge does the engineering for you - we find the manual work slowing your team down, build the tools that take it off your people, and keep them working on a monthly plan.
A team that does the work, not another tool.
We build it - you don't configure anything
You don't buy a tool and then spend weeks setting it up. We find the manual work slowing your team down, then design, build and test the tools that give those hours back. Nothing technical on your side.
We look after it, too
It runs on your own accounts, so you own it. We monitor it, fix it when a connected tool changes and update it when your process changes - all part of your run plan. Nobody in your firm becomes the part-time admin.
Works with the tools you already have
ClickUp, Trello, Google Sheets, Slack, your CRM, your invoicing tool. We build the links between them, so your team keeps working where it works today - no migration project.
Made for how you actually work
Client onboarding, reporting, branded client portals and status pages, time and margin tracking, AI assistants for the team - built around your clients, your process and your terminology. AI drafts, people decide.
Published pricing, no per-seat fees
A run plan from $2,000 a month (Starter, Growth or Embedded) with your first build included, 3-month minimum, AI usage at cost. Your price doesn't climb as your team grows.
Starts with a 2-week ops audit
We map where your team's hours go and put a number on it, then recommend what to build first. The $2,500 audit is credited to your first month.
