Pricing

One membership. Every tool.

No tiers, no feature ladders. Start free, and when you're ready, one price unlocks the whole bench — everything we've built and everything we ship next.

Founding Flock — first 100 members lock $36/yr for life

We set the founding price dead-level with the single-purpose calculator apps on purpose: $36 a year, so there's no excuse not to run The Forge side-by-side with whatever you use now and let the results decide. They do one job each. The Forge builds the whole arrow, tunes the bow, and solves the shot. The first 100 members keep $36/yr forever — after seat 100, membership is $8/mo or $72/yr.

FAQ

Is there a free version?
Yes — the Free tier is genuinely free forever and never asks for a card. Build arrows, see live FOC/KE, and use the recommender as long as you like. Membership bills when you subscribe, and you can cancel anytime.
What's the Founding Flock deal, exactly?
The first 100 members pay $36/yr, and that price is locked for as long as you stay subscribed. When seat 100 fills, new members pay $8/mo or $72/yr. Founding members never get a price increase, and every new tool we ship is included.
Why is the founding price so low?
On purpose. $36/yr is what the single-purpose calculator apps charge, so you can run The Forge next to whatever you're using now without thinking twice — and let a season of results decide. We'd rather earn the switch than argue for it.
Does the membership gate features by skill level?
No. Every member gets every tool. The Beginner / Standard / Expert views inside The Forge only change what's front-and-center so the bench isn't overwhelming on day one — nothing is ever locked behind an experience level.
How much does annual save?
Monthly is $8 ($96/yr equivalent); annual is $72 — three months free. And if you're in the first 100, annual is $36 for life, which is half of that again.
Do you have a discount code?
We partner with a small number of shops and teams. If one of them shared a code with you, enter it at checkout for 20% off. Active-duty military, veterans, and law enforcement: see the note above — you get 50% off, always.
What if I cancel?
Your membership stays active through the end of the billing period you've already paid for. No partial refunds; no early cutoff. After expiration you drop to the Free tier and keep access to your saved builds. (Founding members: cancelling gives up the locked $36 seat.)
Why one membership instead of tiers?
Because picking a tier forces you to guess which tools you'll need before you've used them. One price, whole bench. Free stays free so every archer can use the basics; membership is for when you want the workshop.
