Workamajig runs the whole agency. Forge builds the part clients see.
Workamajig is a comprehensive agency system - projects, resourcing, accounting and more - powerful once it's set up, and a lot to run. Forge is deliberately light: we build, brand, host and run the specific client-facing tools your agency needs, with no setup and 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.
Workamajig is a heavyweight system. Forge is the light, managed layer.
Workamajig is one of the most comprehensive agency platforms out there - projects, resourcing, accounting, media buying, the lot. If you want a single internal system of record and you have the time to configure and learn it, it's deeply capable.
That depth is also the trade-off: it's heavy to set up, can feel dated to use, and it's built for your operations team, not your clients. Forge takes the opposite approach - one specific, branded, client-facing tool (a portal, a status page), built around your agency and run entirely by us, live in minutes with nothing to maintain and a flat price.
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.
