Polar — A billing platform for the intelligence era | Polar
Meet Polar
The billing stack for the intelligence era
Platform
The brains of a finance team
in the body of an API
Polar meters your usage, runs your subscriptions & invoicing, and sells to your customers as merchant of record. One integration, from first event to payout.
Usage metering
Every token, agent run and GPU second streams into live meters, priced and ready to bill the moment it happens.
Checkout
A hosted checkout that converts out of the box. Localized currencies, sales tax included, one link to start selling.
Cost insights
What each customer pays beside what their usage costs you. True gross margin per customer, updated in real time.
Payouts
Revenue settles to your bank account on your schedule. Sales tax already collected, remitted and off your plate.
Meter everything
Every token becomes revenue
the moment your model streams it
Tokens, agent runs and GPU seconds flow through live meters and land on the invoice, priced however you sell.
Measure the usage
Every call, token and GPU second your users consume, recorded the moment it happens.
Aggregate into meters
Raw events roll up into a live meter per customer. No batch jobs, no lag.
Calculate the charge
Meters turn into priced units. Per token, per seat, tiered or hybrid. However you wish to price.
Bill it automatically
Usage lands on the invoice and settles at the end of every cycle, without any manual reconciliation.
Sell globally
Polar as the merchant of record
The liability lands on our name, not yours
We act as the reseller of your product in over 100 markets. Payments, sales tax, fraud, refunds and chargebacks are our responsibility, never your paperwork.

Unit economics
The only billing stack
that knows your margins
Polar already collects every payment, so placing inference cost beside it reveals your true gross margin per customer. The $90 plan burning $600 of tokens stops hiding in your averages.
What people say
Trusted by teams that ship daily
From AI startups to infrastructure veterans
Guillermo RauchVercel
The speed at which Polar is executing on the financial infrastructure primitives the new world needs is very impressive.
Siavash GhorbaniStilla AI
Polar's Python SDK and Webhook infrastructure made our billing integration straightforward. It gave us production-ready billing in hours, not weeks. It's rare to find a vendor that moves this fast.
Mitchell HashimotoHashicorp
I've joined Polar as an advisor! I think it benefits everyone for devs to have more options to get paid to work on their passions, to support upstreams, and for users to have more confidence/transparency in the software they're supporting/purchasing.

Polar has been giving us the high attention support of a startup, with an enterprise-level product and service.
