# Pricing - World Monitor World Monitor has a free public dashboard and paid tiers for analyst workflows, API access and organization deployments. Live tier/price/product-ID data (JSON): `GET https://www.worldmonitor.app/api/product-catalog` — public, no key required. Send a descriptive `User-Agent` (for example `mytool/1.0 (+https://yoursite.example)`); default HTTP-library user agents may be challenged by the edge firewall. ## License scope - **Pro — Personal license:** one named subscriber may use World Monitor for their own research, learning, investing and decisions. It does not cover employer, business or client use. - **Pro Business — Commercial license:** one named subscriber may use the dashboard, exports and included MCP / SDK allowance for company work, client analysis, reports, presentations and internal tools in that user's workflow. It does not cover a live customer-facing data product. - **API Starter — Commercial license for your organization:** the subscribing organization may use the API in private systems, dashboards, automations and internal tools. It does not permit customer redistribution. - **API Business — Commercial license for your customers:** the subscribing organization may display, embed or deliver API outputs as part of its own customer-facing product or service. It does not permit raw-data resale, shared API access or a standalone substitute for World Monitor. - **Enterprise — Custom agreement:** required for higher-volume redistribution, additional seats, white-labeling, standalone data feeds and custom deployments. World Monitor attribution is optional in reports, presentations and derived analysis permitted by your plan. If you choose to credit us, "Source: World Monitor" or "via World Monitor" is sufficient. Source-specific notices supplied with an output still apply. These subscription licenses cover the hosted Service and its outputs. They are separate from the AGPL-3.0-only platform source-code license and the MIT licenses on the official thin clients.
