How billing works
- The trial includes your first connection. You do not need a card to start.
- Connecting a second app during the trial starts checkout. Billing starts only when the trial ends, and you pay only for the time after it.
- After the trial, you need an active Starter or Ultra Heavy plan to keep your apps active. Without one, your apps are paused until you pick a plan.
- Paid plans are flat: connecting more apps never changes the price. The one-app limit applies only during the trial.
Tool calls
| Plan | Successful tool calls |
|---|---|
| Free trial | 1,000 over the 7 days |
| Starter | 1,000 per calendar month (UTC), reset on the 1st |
| Ultra Heavy | 100,000 per calendar month (UTC) |
Only successful calls count. Failed calls show in Logs, but they do not use your allowance. If you often reach the Starter limit, move to Ultra Heavy. You can see your usage at any time in Dashboard > Billing.
Data credit
Public data apps (TikTok, Reddit, SEO, crypto, stock data and more) are paid per call from a separate data credit balance. They never use your tool calls.
| Source | Amount | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome credit | $0.10, once | Never |
| Starter plan | $1 every month | End of the month |
| Ultra Heavy plan | $5 every month | End of the month |
| Top-up packs | $20, $50 or $100 | Never |
A call uses the monthly plan credit first, then your own balance. Top up in Dashboard > Billing, or click the Data credit balance in the sidebar. Prices, refunds and the math: Public data apps.
The Billing page
Dashboard > Billing shows:
- Your plan, and whether your access is active
- Your trial status and the days left, if you are on the trial
- Tool-call usage for this period (
used / limit) - Your data credit balance, with top-up packs
- Your renewal or cancellation date
- Upgrade or Manage subscription
If you come back from checkout and still see the trial for a moment, wait a minute and refresh. The plan syncs when the payment completes.
Upgrade
Open Dashboard > Billing
Find the plan cards.
Pick Starter or Ultra Heavy
Ultra Heavy is for 100,000 tool calls a month.
Complete checkout in Polar
Then come back to the dashboard. Refresh if necessary.
Already on Starter? Upgrade to Ultra Heavy from the same page. Your current subscription changes in place, so you are never billed twice.
Manage your subscription
On a paid plan, Manage subscription opens the Polar customer portal, where you can:
- Update your payment method
- See invoices and receipts
- Cancel the renewal
