Lane one

Explore it yourself.

Sparks are simple: 200 builds an app, 30 makes a change, 10 puts it live. No meters you can't read, no bill you can't predict.

A built, launched, and polished app ≈ 600–700 Sparks — one build, a deploy, about ten changes, and a couple of images.

Hosting included. No surprise bills. The price on this page is the price.

Sparks get your idea working. Producing gets it into the world.

When you've outgrown DIY — real customers, real stakes, a real deadline — you don't need more Sparks. You need it produced.

Lane two

Have us produce it.

Hiring a developer costs six figures a year. An agency MVP runs $15,000–$65,000 — and validation isn't included. Dreamforge Produce starts at $1,000, with an assigned engineer, and demand proven before the build.

The Traction Sprint — $750

Prove people want it before you spend the build cost. Real validation isn't a survey — it's demand you can see before the build begins. If the market says no, you find out for $750, not your entire build budget.

Book your scoping call 2 minutes to apply. Then a real conversation, a fixed price in writing — and only then a payment link.

Honest comparison

What producing usually costs

AI builders get you 80% of the way there. Producing is the other 20% — the part that survives real users: sign-ins, payments, uptime, and someone accountable when it matters.

The Validated-First Guarantee

Our guarantee is simple: you will never spend the build cost discovering the market didn't want it. Every Produce engagement starts with the Traction Sprint — demand proven before the build begins.

And no lock-in, ever. Your app is always yours — export it and take it with you whenever you want.

Questions

Pricing questions, answered

What are Sparks, in plain English?

The simple credits that power your builds. Building a complete app is 200, a change is 30, an image is 65, going live is 10 — published right here, always. A built, launched, polished app is usually 600–700 Sparks.

Do unused Sparks roll over?

On paid plans, yes — unused Sparks stay good for one extra month past your billing period. The free monthly 150 resets each month, and your 300 welcome Sparks never expire.

What does the Produce monthly cover?

Keeping your product alive: hosting, monitoring, updates, ongoing engineer hours, and team training. The one-time fee is the build; the monthly is the run.

What happens on the scoping call?

A real conversation about what you're building and who it's for. You leave with a fixed price in writing and a clear plan — and only then, if you want to proceed, a payment link. No pressure, no obligation.

What if the Traction Sprint says there's no demand?

Then you just saved your entire build budget for $750 — and you'll know exactly why, with real signals, not guesses. Most people redirect that budget to the next idea. That's not a failed project; that's the cheapest lesson in business.

Can I start with Explore and move to Produce later?

That's the whole path. Explore free, build something real, and when it's time to put it in front of real customers, we produce it with you — no rebuild, no starting over. Everything you explored comes with you.

Two ways in. One path to real.

Explore it free.
Produce it for real.

Most AI-built apps never make it to the real world. Yours will — because we built the whole road.
