Pricing

Simple Platform Pricing. Your Choice of Launch.

Every plan is a predictable monthly platform fee. Below the tier cards you’ll find the full entitlement table, how launch responsibility splits between your team and ours, how Forge Credits work, and the marketplace of optional add-ons — all sourced from the same pricing data that powers the rest of the site, so nothing here disagrees with what you see elsewhere.

Pricing

One platform. A predictable monthly fee. Your choice of launch.

Pay a predictable monthly platform fee and choose how you launch. Standard Guided Launch is available through Forge Credits you earn as your team completes onboarding — or select Managed Launch and have our team handle the transition for you.

Two ways to launch

Trade participation for a lower launch cost, or trade a defined service cost for a hands-off transition. Either way, nothing is disconnected until you approve the switch.

Guided Launch

Work through a structured launch and earn Forge Credits as your team completes each onboarding milestone.

  • You complete structured onboarding tasks at your pace
  • Earn Forge Credits as milestones are approved
  • Apply credits to eligible setup, integrations, migration, and training
  • Industry templates, supported import tools, and validation checklists
  • Best for prepared teams that want a lower upfront cost

Managed Launch

You provide access, context, and approvals. Our team configures, connects, migrates, tests, trains, and launches The Forge remotely.

  • HustleForge performs the configuration and supported integrations
  • We migrate your customers, jobs, staff, and history
  • Your existing systems keep running until you approve the switch
  • Testing, training, and a coordinated go-live — remotely
  • Best for teams that want a hands-off transition

Forge Credits

Forge Credits reduce the cost and risk of moving into The Forge. Earn credits by preparing your data, connecting supported systems, completing training, and approving launch milestones.

Credits apply toward eligible launch services and temporary access to expansion features. Core platform usage never consumes credits.

Implementation

Who Does What During Launch

Both launch paths are a partnership. Guided trades participation for a lower launch cost; Managed trades a defined service cost for a hands-off transition. Here's what falls to each side under each path.

Guided Launch

Work through a structured launch and earn Forge Credits as your team completes each onboarding milestone.

  • You complete structured onboarding tasks at your pace
  • Earn Forge Credits as milestones are approved
  • Apply credits to eligible setup, integrations, migration, and training
  • Industry templates, supported import tools, and validation checklists
  • Best for prepared teams that want a lower upfront cost

Managed Launch

You provide access, context, and approvals. Our team configures, connects, migrates, tests, trains, and launches The Forge remotely.

  • HustleForge performs the configuration and supported integrations
  • We migrate your customers, jobs, staff, and history
  • Your existing systems keep running until you approve the switch
  • Testing, training, and a coordinated go-live — remotely
  • Best for teams that want a hands-off transition

For the week-by-week timeline, readiness checklist, and data ownership boundaries behind either path, see how implementation works.

Forge Credits

How Forge Credits Work

Forge Credits reduce the cost and risk of moving into The Forge. Earn credits by preparing your data, connecting supported systems, completing training, and approving launch milestones.

Earned, not discounted

Credits accumulate as your team completes and gets approved on Guided Launch milestones — preparing data, connecting supported systems, completing training, and approving each step. They are not an automatic price cut.

Distinct from provider costs

Credits apply toward eligible launch services and temporary access to expansion features. Core platform usage never consumes credits. Advertising spend, per-minute usage, and other itemized third-party costs on marketplace add-ons are never paid for with Forge Credits.

Never required for core usage

Core platform usage never consumes credits. Managed Launch customers earn participation credits on the same conversion without completing the Guided task list.

1 Forge Credit = $1 toward eligible Forge services
