Streamtime runs the studio. Forge builds your client tools.
Streamtime is the lovely creative-studio platform for jobs, time, quoting and invoicing - one internal system your team uses every day, priced per user. Forge builds, brands, hosts and runs the custom client-facing tools your studio needs - branded portals, status pages - 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.
Streamtime owns the studio's job book. Forge owns the client-facing layer.
Streamtime is a really thoughtful tool for running a creative studio's internal work - jobs, time, quotes, invoices, even a UI your team actually wants to use. If that internal job book is what you need, it's one of the most enjoyable options on the market.
Where it stops is the client's side of the relationship, and customisation to how a specific studio works. Most studios still want a branded space each client logs into, or a live status page shaped to their process - that the team doesn't build, host or maintain. Forge builds those custom client tools around your studio, runs every piece of the infrastructure, and charges one flat fee instead of per user.
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.
