Pricing
One payment. No subscription, no renewal.
The free plan is not a trial — it does not expire, and it does not ask for a card. If 25 bar marks per project covers your work, you never need to pay.

What Pro costs in your currency
One payment, in whichever of these you bill in. The app quotes the single currency your project is set to — the price you would actually pay, not a list of prices you would have to pick through.
| Currency | Estimator Pro | Founding price |
|---|---|---|
| US dollar | $79 | $49 |
| Nigerian naira | ₦45,000 | ₦35,000 |
| Pound sterling | £65 | — |
The founding price runs in dollars and naira only. Sterling buyers pay the standard price rather than a discount we have not actually made available to them. We list a currency here only when the checkout can charge in it, which is why there is no euro price.
Founding price
The launch column above holds for the first 50 licences, or until 31 October 2026, whichever comes first. After that it is the standard price. The app shows the founding price only while it is genuinely available and reverts on its own when the window closes — it is a launch price, not a permanent “discount” that never ends.
What one payment actually buys
- Three devices. A desktop and a phone, with one spare. A device that has not opened ForgeWorks for 60 days releases its slot automatically, so replacing a laptop does not cost you anything or require a support request.
- Offline for good. Activate once online. After that it runs with no connection, including on site. It does not phone home to keep working.
- A recovery file. Browsers sometimes clear stored site data. Save the recovery file once and you can restore your licence yourself, without using up an activation.
- Your data stays yours. Projects live on your device. Export JSON or Excel at any time, on the free plan too — nothing is held hostage if you stop paying attention to us.
Why not a subscription
Because the tool works offline and stores nothing on our servers, there is no ongoing cost to you that a monthly fee would cover. Charging rent for software that runs entirely on your own machine would be charging for nothing. Pay once, keep it.
