| Know before using | The current pricing page contains conflicting prices and feature copy across plan cards, comparison rows, and FAQs; verify the amount, billing period, trial, and included capabilities at checkout. A factory profile, platform label, badge, rank, bid, estimate, message, or platform claim does not establish identity, ownership, capability, capacity, workmanship, price, compliance, delivery, or project fit. Paid placement can affect discovery. Verify the production site, subcontracting, references, samples, quality and compliance records, specifications, commercial terms, and remedies directly. | Coverage reflects affiliated guilds, submitted events, and participating professionals rather than every regional option. HGA states that its paid professional listings are supplied and updated by the professional and are not HGA endorsements. Confirm current contact details, teaching format, accessibility, price, skill level, and safeguarding or insurance needs directly. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. |

| Access scope | Brand sourcing United States manufacturing partners or factory seeking projects, visibility, and messages through Maker’s Row’s directory and project workflow. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Before an account | Read the brand overview, plan comparison, billing FAQ, terms, and privacy policy. The checked signed-out pages do not establish public use of factory search, project management, bids, replies, or direct messaging. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Free-account boundary | A free brand account can publish unlimited projects and receive bids from premium factories. Paid brand access adds factory search, replies, and direct messaging. The pricing FAQ also describes a free factory profile with limited features and visibility; paid factory plans add project bidding, outbound messaging, higher search placement, and promotional services. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Payment boundary | Brand and factory subscriptions recur monthly or annually, and the terms authorize future card charges until cancellation. Paid brand tiers unlock search, replies, messaging, and optional consultation or development support; paid factory tiers sell messaging, bidding, search placement, badges, and promotion. The current pricing page contains conflicting figures between plan cards, comparisons, and FAQs, so verify the exact amount and billing period at checkout. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Cancellation or exit | The pricing FAQ routes brand cancellation through account settings or support and says access continues through the current billing period without a refund for the used portion. The terms say cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term or renewal term and requires a customer-support ticket; they also warn subscription users to contact support when deactivating or recurring fees may continue. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Saved work and data | Accounts can hold profiles, projects, product details and files, bids, messages, reviews, and payment records. The terms grant Maker’s Row a broad continuing licence to user content, and the privacy policy routes removal through subscription cancellation by email. The checked pages do not document a self-service complete export, export format or timing, or what project and transaction records remain after cancellation. Keep original files and decision records outside the platform. | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Source and review | |||
| What the source establishes | Maker’s Row’s current brand pricing page separates a free project-and-bid entry path from paid factory search, replies, direct messaging, and support. Its factory plans sell project access, outbound messaging, search placement, badges, and promotional services. The terms define the service as access to factories and suppliers rather than a verifier and state that Maker’s Row does not warrant factory-member offerings. | The Handweavers Guild of America's current resources page links a searchable affiliate-guild directory, a paid professional-member directory and fiber-art resource guide, book reviews, a public event calendar, scholarships, a quarterly member magazine, and program and store information for weaving, spinning, dyeing, and related fiber arts. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. |
