When we launched MakerManifest, we made a promise: free during beta, paid when we're ready. That time is here.
Paid subscriptions launch on June 1, 2026.
If you've been with us since the early days — thank you. You're the reason this platform exists, and we're making sure the transition is as fair as possible.
What's Changing on June 1
On June 1, we're introducing three tiers:
● Free — $0 forever. Up to 10 gear lists, 25 items per list, platform short links, Amazon affiliate rules, and HOWL/AWIN-connected stores. Everything you need to get started.
● Basic — $5/month. Up to 50 gear lists with unlimited items, all affiliate networks (CJ, Impact, Rakuten, ShareASale, catch-all rules), custom URL slugs, click analytics, and more.
● Premium — $10/month. Unlimited gear lists, geo-routing for international Amazon audiences, embeddable widgets, custom short link domain, advanced analytics, JSON-LD SEO, and everything in Basic.
Beta Users: Your Grace Period + 50% Off
If you created your account before June 1, 2026, you're a beta user. Here's exactly what that means for you:
● 30-day grace period. Nothing changes on June 1. You have until July 1 before any account changes take effect — no charge, no downgrade, no disruption.
● 50% off your first month or year. Subscribe before July 1 and get half off: $2.50/month for Basic, $5/month for Premium. If you choose annual, you get 50% off the entire first year.
● Grandfathered affiliate rules. If you move to the free tier, your existing affiliate rules stay active and continue to apply at redirect time — they just become read-only. You keep earning on everything you've already set up.
● No list or item limits applied retroactively. Beta users are permanently exempt from the 10-list and 25-item caps, regardless of plan. Any gear lists and items you've already created stay exactly as they are.
What Stays the Same
A lot. We're not gutting the free experience — we're adding value at the paid tiers.
● Your gear lists, items, short links, and analytics are safe. Nothing is deleted.
● Your public profile and gear list URLs don't change.
● Amazon affiliate tags still work on the free tier.
● All existing short links continue to redirect correctly.
What Happens on July 1 If You Don't Subscribe
After the grace period ends, accounts without a paid subscription move to the free tier automatically. You'll receive an email and an in-app message before this happens — nothing will catch you off guard.
If you do get moved to the free tier and decide you want to upgrade later, your data is retained for 12 months. Resubscribe anytime and everything is restored.
How to Subscribe
Starting June 1, you'll find subscription options in Dashboard → Settings → Plan. Payment is handled securely through Stripe — we never store your card details.
