Polar
A billing platform for the intelligence era
Polar is a billing and payments platform designed for AI-native and developer-focused products. It supports usage-based billing, subscriptions, seats, credits, and trials, handling everything from event ingestion to payment collection and tax compliance. The platform targets founders and teams building modern AI software who need flexible monetization without heavy infrastructure work.
Polar ingests raw usage signals, aggregates them into billable units, and automatically generates charges and collects payments, supporting multiple pricing models out of the box.
