It offers both free and paid options for creating miniatures. Users are not required to sign up or have an account to browse the Hero Forge website and create miniatures. However, signing up for an account allows users to save and access their custom designs across devices.

Evaluation: Hero Forge is an interesting tool to gamify classes and make them more creative and engaging.
