Milestone
Our numbers, in the open
A public page shows Pollar's live usage counters and month-by-month running costs.
What we shipped
We published pollar.news/open, a page that shows how Pollar operates and what it costs to run. It carries live counters, including the sources we monitor, the articles we process, the events we track, and the briefs we send, alongside our finances month by month.
The figures update as we do.
Why it matters
Independent journalism runs on trust, and the clearest way to earn it is to show the working: how much we spend, on what, and how the operation is growing. Many newsrooms keep that private. We would rather put it where anyone can check it.
