About
Userforge is a web-based user persona creator that also supports user story writing and journey mapping in a shared workspace. It generates AI-assisted first drafts from an organisation summary, then lets teams edit persona profiles, connect stories to personas, and visualise touchpoints on an interactive journey map.
The free offering includes a Starter plan at $0 forever with persona creation, collaborator invites, and shareable persona links. Paid plans add user stories, journey mapping, Jira integration, higher persona and collaborator limits, CSV export, and multi-workspace features.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable starter, not just a demo: it includes three personas, three pages, monthly reviews, context grounding, sharing/printing, and a collaborator, all with no credit card required. Compared with the $59/month Pro plan, it delivers roughly 40% of the practical value but with tight caps on volume and only the first five reviews each month, so a fair estimate is about $24/month.
