Reference · What Forge costs
Two doors, and they are not the same door.
Dominus Foundry is the holding company behind Forge. This page is a reference — how we scope the work and prepare a custom quote. Forge itself is bought at buildwithforge.app.
A hire is not a line item.
Forge is sold two ways, and they are quoted separately on purpose. A business either hires its own AI or buys the tools. Those are different purchases, read against different budgets, and putting them on one list would misfile both.
The first way is a hire. One number covers her and the system of record she works inside; the record is not itemised, for the same reason a salary is not quoted as base plus benefits plus payroll tax. The comparison it is meant to be read against is a person, and the figure for that person appears as a reference for the work.
The second way is the tools. We discuss your workflow, choose the products and services it needs, and prepare a custom quote. There is no public rate card or bundle calculation.
The quote states the scope and terms before you commit. Product prices depend on the work required for your company.
The first way · a hire, quoted against a salary
A fully-loaded office coordinator — wage, employer tax, workers’ comp, health, retirement, the seat. That is about $32.50/hr at the desk, converging with the BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation figure of $5,474/mo. This is the figure Forge publishes on its own homepage as the comparison, and it is not a Forge price.
Published on buildwithforge.app · BLS ECEC $5,474
Awarded by application. Start with agreed promise-to-completion work, then teach her additional supported responsibilities under explicit authority. Forge Core is included; it is not a second line, and it is never quoted separately. Held for as long as an operator holds the seat.
Her price is never published on a web surface. Start with a short operational assessment of your business. Then Mark meets you to discuss the product and fit, and a written proposal follows.
Never on a web surface
A founding seat and a standing arrangement buy the same Sabina; there is no second or third hire package to move up to. Mark meets you to discuss the product and fit, and a written proposal follows. A business that also wants a tool from the tool scope below is quoted for your company — product prices are not published on this page.
Start with a short operational assessment of your business.
The second way · the tools
Scoped for the work you need.
A separate door, for an operator who wants the system of record and is not hiring. The hire above is not on this card and is not priced from it.
Each product is custom quoted. We discuss your workflows and communication needs, then state the scope and terms before you commit.
Worked out
Two ways to scope the work.
Terms, plainly
A quote for your company.
Sabina and every Forge product are custom quoted. The proposal sets out the responsibilities, products, services and terms for your company.
We do not publish product prices or bundle discounts. We scope the work with you and give you a quote for the circumstances.
Where Forge is sold
Not here.
Dominus Foundry is the holding company. Forge is bought and billed on its own platform, and that is the only place a price becomes an agreement.
