Teamwork runs your projects. Forge builds the tools around them.
Teamwork is a strong, agency-flavoured PM platform with built-in client features. Forge isn't another PM tool: we build custom software for people businesses - agencies, accountants, lawyers, consultants, recruiters - and look after the reporting, onboarding, syncs and branded client views around the tools you already use - Teamwork included.
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.
Teamwork is good agency PM. Forge builds what sits around it.
Teamwork is one of the better PM tools for agencies, with time tracking and client-facing features built in. If it fits how you work, keep it.
Where agencies still lose time is the work between tools - client reports assembled by hand, onboarding steps repeated for every new client, data copied into invoicing and CRM. Forge designs and builds those tools and looks after them 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.
