Resource Guru schedules your team. Forge builds your client tools.
Resource Guru is the simple, much-loved resource scheduling tool - who's working on what, when - one internal capacity view, 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.
Resource Guru nails simple scheduling. Forge owns the client-facing layer.
Resource Guru does one thing extremely well: a clean, simple capacity view your team actually uses. If you want to kill spreadsheets, see who's available at a glance, and pay per seat as the agency grows, it's hard to beat for that role.
But Resource Guru is deliberately for your team, not your clients - it doesn't do branded client tools, status pages, or anything custom to how your agency works. Most agencies still want the thing clients log into or watch progress in - shaped to them, on your domain - without building or hosting it. Forge builds exactly that, runs every piece of it, and charges one flat fee no matter how many people use it.
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.
