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.

Your customer consumes usage.
Polar bills, collects and complies.
You get paid.

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 Rauch

The speed at which Polar is executing on the financial infrastructure primitives the new world needs is very impressive.

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.

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.
