Free for 7 days, then $49.99 a year. Or $12.99 a month with no trial. Cancel anytime. Forge turns the things you said you would do into a day you earn. Finish today's list and the sword in the stone comes loose. Then you pull it free. That pull banks the day. SIX STATS, REAL NUMBERS Physical, Intellect, Discipline, Mental, Relationship and Ambition, each scored out of 100, with an overall score. Seven questions set where you start. After that, the numbers move only with what you actually do. SEE WHERE YOUR PLAN GOES Before you begin, Forge shows your stats now, in 7 days, in 30 days and at full potential, worked out on the plan you choose if you keep five days in seven. A projection, never a promise. ARCS Programs with a start and an end. Winter Arc: 90 days through the dark months, in four phases. Monk Mode 30, Discipline 66, and Lock In 7 to start. An Arc shows what it adds to your week before it adds anything, asks before each phase raises the bar, sets a trial every week, and leaves a mark on your record when you finish. A BLADE FOR EVERY STRETCH Nine blades, from Rough to Enduring at 180 days kept, then a temper mark for every ninety days after that. Days you have kept are never taken away. A CHALLENGE EVERY DAY One small challenge a day. Finish it and it counts toward its stat. CHECKED BY APPLE HEALTH Steps, workouts, sleep and mindful minutes can tick themselves off. Read-only and on your iPhone: Forge never writes to Health, and nothing it reads leaves the phone. Optional; you can always tick anything yourself. ASK FORGE AND PLAN A coach that reads your record. Ask why a stat is slipping, which Arc fits your week, or how to make next week harder. It can propose changes to your week, and nothing changes until you review them and apply them. Written by AI, labelled as such, and used only after you allow it. Not medical advice. Plan works your week around the hours you cannot move, and changes nothing until you apply it. ONE EVENING A WEEK Your week in numbers, one observation drawn from your own record, and two questions. With Forge Pro, a written Weekly Reading, checked against your record before you see it. YOURS, ON YOUR IPHONE No account, no sign-in, no ads. Your record stays on your iPhone, and you can export it as a backup file and import it on a new one. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and a Live Activity for the day. FORGE PRO Annual: free for 7 days, then $49.99 a year. Monthly: $12.99 a month, no trial. Lifetime: $129.99 once, in Settings. Forge can remind you two days before the trial ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm, or when the free week ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Prices are US prices; the App Store shows yours before you confirm. If you stop, your record stays readable: history, blades, stats, reviews and widgets. Keeping new days, Arcs, the daily challenge and Ask Forge need Forge Pro.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Forge at none against Aliver's shown. Forge also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Aliver's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
