Get your work in front of buyers.
Publishing on Digital Underground is free and always will be. Maker Pro is for makers who want reach: Featured slots, promo on Digital Underground’s X and socials, promotion from DU, and warm intros to buyers and builders.
Who it’s for: makers with a live product who want more eyes on it. Not for: anyone who just wants to list. That’s free.

Questions
Is publishing still free?
Yes, and it always will be. Free makers list a product as a Draft, then edit and save it to go Live. Maker Pro sells reach, not access.
How does Pro unlock?
Sign in to your creator dashboard with the same email you used at checkout and Pro turns on automatically. Or paste the license key from your receipt under Settings → Maker Pro.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your Gumroad library whenever you like. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
What happens if Pro lapses?
Your listings stay live. Featured items finish their current 7-day slot and then drop off, and the Draft/Live toggle, promo and intro requests switch off until you renew.
What is the founding price?
The first 25 makers get Maker Pro for $59/year (normally $79/year), with code FOUNDING25 at checkout. Once the 25 seats are gone, it’s gone.
How fast do promo and intros happen?
Promo requests go live within 7 days. Intro requests get an answer within 14 days. Every Friday you get a short “what we did for you” email.
Monthly or yearly?
Yearly is $79 (about 2 months free) and gets 2 active Featured slots instead of 1.
