no code · we run the infrastructure · flat monthly pricingForge isn’t an app builder. It’s the managed internal-tools team for your agency.
Wrike is configurable enterprise PM. Forge is the managed client layer.
Wrike is one of the most capable PM platforms out there - workflows you build, dashboards you design, proofing flows you configure. If you have the time and the team to set it all up to fit your agency, it's genuinely powerful.
But Wrike is something you configure and operate, and it's for your team's internal projects. Most agencies still want a branded space each client logs into, or a status page shaped to their process - without setting it up, building dashboards, or paying per seat as you grow. Forge builds those custom client tools around your agency, runs every piece of the infrastructure, and charges one flat fee.
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.
