What every Business Forge customer gets

Regardless of which tier you pick.

Dedicated infrastructure

Your own virtual server. Your data is not commingled with other customers at the database level.

Bring your own AI keys

You choose the LLM provider, you control the spending cap at their dashboard. We never pay for your AI compute.

Full data export, anytime

Your memories, contacts, and work are yours. Export from the portal whenever you want.

No long-term contract

Monthly plans are month-to-month. Annual plans save money but still cancel at renewal.

Honest support

Real humans. Our support bot handles common questions; our team handles everything else; Rich handles escalations.

Transparent pricing

This page is the whole price list. No hidden upsells, no "sales tax" surprises (except actual sales tax where applicable).

Why setup fees exist

Two tiers — Forge HQ and Forge Workforce — have one-time setup fees. Here's what that fee pays for:

Forge HQ ($1,000): Our team configures your sub-account with pipelines, workflows, email templates, and calendar structure that match your business. We import the starter snapshot, customize key workflows to your specific use case, and walk you through everything on a dedicated onboarding call. Usually 6–8 hours of hands-on work.

Forge Workforce ($2,500): Everything above, plus template customization for your chosen company type, CEO agent persona tuning to your voice, API key integration, and first-week task coaching. Usually 12–15 hours of hands-on work plus ongoing first-30-days direct support from Rich.

Setup fees are non-refundable once we've started the work. Within your 7-day money-back window, if no setup work has begun, we refund in full.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upgrade or downgrade?

Yes. Upgrading from Forge to Forge HQ is an upgrade call + $1,000 setup. Upgrading from Forge HQ to Forge Workforce is an application + $2,500 setup. Downgrades happen at the next billing cycle and keep all your data.

What's the difference between Forge HQ and using GoHighLevel directly?

Forge HQ is built on GoHighLevel — whitelabeled, pre-configured, and with the Forge AI brain wrapped around it. Using GHL directly means you're paying their agency fees, configuring from scratch, and not getting Forge. You'd spend a month setting up a solo GHL account; we do it in 3 days.

Why do I have to bring my own AI API keys?

Two reasons. One: you control spending — no surprise bills from us. Two: we're not incentivized to throttle your usage. When you control the API, you control what models you use, how often, and for how much.

What happens if I cancel?

Monthly plans cancel through the portal. Access continues through the end of your billing period. Your data is retained for 30 days after that (for export), then deleted per our Privacy Policy. Annual plans cancel at renewal.

Is there a free trial?

No. We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions — if it's not a fit, we refund. That beats a trial because you get the full product immediately. Setup fees are refundable only if no setup work has begun.

What if I just want to talk to a human about which tier fits?

Book a discovery call on the Forge HQ page. We'll tell you honestly if Forge HQ is right or if something else fits better.
