The cost of the old way
3–5 consultants at £1,200/day each. 4–6 weeks minimum. Then you get a PowerPoint — maybe a prototype.
Describe the challenge in plain English. Get a working prototype with a real database, API, and UI — ready to put in front of real users.
How it works
Tell ProtoForge your business challenge in plain English. What process is broken? What tool is missing? What would save your team 10 hours a week?
In about 20 seconds, you get a complete prototype spec — tech stack, feature list, database schema, architecture, timeline, and risk assessment.
Approve the spec and ProtoForge builds and deploys a working prototype — live URL, real database, real API. In front of real users within 48 hours.
Why we built this
The prototyping industry has a problem. People who've worked inside it say so plainly.

FAQ
The Full Access membership unlocks unlimited prototype specs and Phase 2 builds — deployed prototypes with a real database, real API, and real UI — plus iterative development based on user feedback, priority support, a dedicated build slot, and faster turnaround on complex builds. The free tier stays at £0 with no credit card, so you can generate one full spec to evaluate ProtoForge before committing.
The prototype spec is generated in about 20 seconds. Once you approve a spec and move to Phase 2, ProtoForge builds and deploys a working prototype — live URL, real database, real API — in front of real users within 48 hours. Traditional consulting runs 4–6 weeks minimum and usually ends with a PowerPoint.
You only pay for months where Phase 2 builds keep shipping. If a build misses its agreed deployment window, that month's Phase 2 credits stay on your account — no charge for builds that don't ship. The free spec carries no financial risk: £0, no credit card, no commitment.
Innovation teams that need to test 10 ideas in the time one gets through procurement. Founders without a CTO who need to ship without hiring a dev team or an agency. Enterprise digital teams that want a PoC that's actually deployed rather than a PowerPoint. Ops leaders automating the manual process their team has been complaining about. If you can describe the idea in plain English, you're the buyer.
The free spec is unconditional — there's no charge, so no refund is needed. The Full Access membership is month-to-month and cancellable at any time; you only pay for the months you run. Unused Phase 2 build credits roll forward. Your spec archive, prior prototypes, and dashboard access stay available for 30 days after cancellation so you can come back without losing context.

What is Phase 2?
After your spec is approved, Phase 2 is the full build — a deployed, working prototype that real users can interact with. We handle everything: architecture, code, infrastructure, and deployment.
