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 the open project pool and a lower commission. You can change anytime.
Basic
Free
Direct projects from Designers.
(7% Find Makers commission per sale)
Premium
$40 /mo
Direct projects + open bid pool access.
(5% Find Makers commission per sale)
Membership is separate from per-project fees: when a project is paid through Find Makers, a platform commission — 5% on Premium, 7% on Basic — and standard Stripe processing fees come out of your payout. You keep the rest.
