Build apps with Polar billing
Orbit scaffolds Polar.sh checkout for open-source and indie products — subscriptions and pledge flows, wired into generated apps.
Polar.sh AI Builder
Polar.sh requests produce checkout and subscription flows tailored to open-source and indie monetization — the same verified billing scaffolding as other providers.
In plain English
Polar.sh monetizes open-source and indie products. Orbit scaffolds its checkout and subscription flows, vaulted keys and all.
How it works in Orbit
Polar is an open-source monetization platform for developers — payments, benefits, and product licensing built around a community model. Orbit apps integrate Polar for selling to a dev audience.
Monetize open source
Polar lets you sell products and accept sponsorships while staying open. Orbit generates the purchase flow that points at your Polar products.
- Product purchase flow
- Sponsorship support
- Open-source friendly
Benefits for supporters
Polar ties purchases to benefits like access or early releases. Orbit apps consume Polar's API to unlock features for supporters.
- Benefit unlock flows
- API-driven access
- Community model
The indie-friendly stack
Transparent fees and a developer-first API make Polar a favorite for indie builders — the same audience Orbit serves.
- Transparent pricing
- Developer-first API
- Indie-friendly

The challenge
Try it yourself
Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.
Build
Try this one elsewhere first.
Set up a pledge/subscription flow on two builds and compare who handles the webhook end to end.
Research
Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.
Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.
Chat
Ask a plain chatbot the same question.
One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.
Image & video
Generate the same image, then edit it.
Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.
