Teamwork runs your projects. Forge runs your client tools.
Teamwork is a strong, agency-flavoured PM platform with light client-facing features - one internal workspace, priced per seat. Forge builds, brands, hosts and runs custom client-facing tools - branded portals, status pages - shaped to exactly how your agency works, for one flat monthly price.

Teamwork's a solid PM platform. Forge owns the branded client layer.
Teamwork is a capable, agency-flavoured project management tool - tasks, time, milestones, even a basic client view, all in one internal workspace. If what you want is one place for the team to run projects, it does that well, and the built-in client view is genuinely useful for keeping clients in the loop.
Where it stops is custom, branded, per-client tools shaped to exactly how you work. Teamwork's client view is the same view every client sees, inside Teamwork's product. Most agencies still end up wanting something that looks and feels like their agency - on their own domain, for the specific clients who'd actually use it. Forge builds those custom client tools around your agency, runs every piece of the infrastructure, and charges one flat fee instead of per seat.
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.
