## When it is useful

Set up Polar from scratch: MCP, auth, first product, framework-specific checkout.

## The Catch

Loud: Starter Free forever $0/mo platform fee; MoR take-rate 5% + 50c/txn (+1.5% intl) still applies — not payments free. Pro $20 / Growth $100 / Scale $400 lower take-rate. OSS Apache self-host path. Skills LICENSE 404 — product polarsource/polar Apache-2.0. Polar gem already live. Distinct from Stripe Billing DIY tax and closed MoRs. Frontmatter name setup-polar.
