  We present a new version of the EtaMAID model for $\eta$ and $\eta'$
photoproduction on nucleons. The model includes 23 nucleon resonances
parameterized with Breit-Wigner shapes. The background is described by vector
and axial-vector meson exchanges in the $t$ channel using the Regge cut
phenomenology. Parameters of the resonances were obtained from a fit to
available experimental data for $\eta$ and $\eta'$ photoproduction on protons
and neutrons. The nature of the most interesting observations in the data is
discussed.
