Membership
Membership tiers & feature comparison
Every tier puts your studio in front of trade-verified designers. Premium and Gold add the open bid pool and hands-on support, which we're rolling out now.
Membership tiers
What it costs to be listed
Listing on Find Makers is a monthly membership. Pick the tier that matches where you are — you choose it after approval, and can change it anytime.
Basic
$25 /mo
Direct briefs from designers.
Premium
$65 /mo
Direct briefs + open bid pool access.
Gold
$150 /mo
Everything in Premium + featured placement.
Membership is separate from per-project fees: when a project is paid through Find Makers, an 8% platform commission and standard Stripe processing fees come out of your payout. You keep the rest.
