Use case

Build a directory site with AI

Directories — of tools, venues, local businesses or jobs — are listings plus search plus a way to charge for placement. Forge64 builds and runs all of it.

Last checked

What Forge64 builds for a directory site

  • Listings with categories, tags and filters
  • Search
  • Submission form with admin approval
  • Paid featured listings

Example prompt

“A directory of dog-friendly cafes in Berlin, filterable by district, with paid featured spots for owners.”

Built in, no other accounts

  • AI build — the full-stack app generated from your prompt, with a live preview
  • Auth — sign-up, sign-in and user accounts, with no per-user fee
  • Postgres — a dedicated Postgres database for each app
  • Hosting — containers on Forge Cloud (EU); always-on on paid plans, and the Free plan's app sleeps when idle and wakes on visit
  • Domains and TLS — a forge64.app subdomain on every plan, your own domains on paid plans, with automatic HTTPS
  • File storage — coming soon: managed file uploads with a per-app allowance by plan
  • Payments — checkout and subscriptions wired into the app
  • Forge Payments — onboarding and payouts to your bank account, so you can start selling with no separate payment account (one all-in fee per sale)
  • Billing and spend caps — plans and a billing page for your customers; every Forge64 meter has a hard cap, so usage stops instead of surprising you

Usually fits: Pro ($59/mo). Directories rely on search traffic, so your own domain is usually worth it.
