Full capability matrix
Every axis, not just the twelve on the summary. All competitor information is taken from the vendors' own published materials. Last verified 2026-08-11. A dash means we did not find the capability documented — it is not a statement that the product lacks it.
How each platform is priced, in full
- MakerOps
- Staff / operator seats only. Student, member, patron, and guest accounts are unlimited and not billed. Source for MakerOps pricing, observed 2026-08-11, opens in a new tab
- Coworks
- Tier, with published member caps of 150 and 250 on the two priced tiers and unlimited members on the custom-priced Enterprise tier. Coworks' own page also states that pricing "isn't based on member count" and scales with "the level of functionality you need". Multiple campuses are listed as an add-on with no published price.

Claim audit
Every rating above that has a source behind it, with that source and the date it was observed. Most "not documented publicly" cells are omitted, because there is no source for something we simply did not find — but where a vendor has published a statement of their own about a capability, it is listed here with their words and their link.
MakerOps
- First-party hardware that switches machine mains power Shipped
Customer-owned ESP32-based controller, $249 one-time, switching the machine through a relay or dry-contact interlock.
https://makerops.ai/hardware/ · observed 2026-08-11
- Training-gated equipment access Shipped
Required credentials are evaluated at power-on; an unqualified scan does not energize the machine.
https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11
- Door / facility access control Partial
ROADMAP ROW — read the footnote. The software side ships today: credential-based door rules, registered scan devices, approved-badge sync, and occupancy. The FIRST-PARTY DOOR CONTROLLER is not built yet.
https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11
- Operates during network loss (offline credentials stored in mobile app) Shipped
Members' phones carry device-signed offline credentials and unlock equipment over Bluetooth, so a network outage does not strand a qualified user at a dead machine.
https://makerops.ai/hardware/ · observed 2026-08-11

Rotating signed QR self-check-in.
https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11

https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11
- Training and LMS wired directly to credentials and machine access Shipped
Completing a training issues the credential, and the credential is what the machine checks at power-on — one record, no export between an LMS and an access system.
https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11

https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11

Equipment and room reservations with per-audience windows and per-machine booking policy.
https://makerops.ai/features/ · observed 2026-08-11

"Ask the shop" answers a plain-language question from that shop's stock only, with a check-with-staff flag for structural, pressure, and food-contact joins. Shipped 2026-09.
https://makerops.ai/docs/platform/inventory/ · observed 2026-08-11
