Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The 30-day trial gives you the full platform with no card on file. We only ask for payment if you decide to keep using Forge.

What counts as a unit?

Each rentable unit you manage. A single-family home is one unit; a fourplex is four. You're billed on your active unit count.

Is there a long-term contract?

No annual lock-in. After the trial it's simple month-to-month billing at $1.10 per unit. Add or remove units anytime and your bill adjusts. Cancel whenever you like.

What happens when my trial ends?

Nothing is charged automatically — there's no card on file. We email you three days before the trial ends and again on the day it ends. If you haven't added a payment method by then, your account pauses: your data stays exactly where it is and you can reactivate any time, but Forge stops posting new rent charges and late fees until you subscribe.
