What it costs to be listed
Listing on Find Makers starts free. Basic costs nothing and is the default after approval; upgrade to Premium anytime for a lower commission and FM Studio, a production board for every job. Cancel anytime.

Direct and open projects. 7% commission.
(7% Find Makers commission per sale)
Premium

Membership is separate from per-commission fees: when work is paid for through Find Makers, the platform commission — 5% on Premium, 7% on Basic — and standard Stripe processing fees come out of your payout. You keep the rest.
