Product pricing strategy
02
Free
Nonprofit Explorer printed no price for the website or the API on 23 Oct 2026. The homepage, the organization page, and the API docs have no checkout and no SPDX field. Dollar amounts on those pages are Form 990 figures or the homepage's $4.7T total of nonprofit revenue. They are not a fee to read the site. The 2025 revenue line is $74,807,964 and the card is $74.8M. The 2024 revenue line is $64,268,632. Quote the line and the card as two presentations of the same year, and do not add 2024 to 2025. The API page says the API is a work in progress and only accepts GET. It does not print a rate-card. A later paid extract, if one exists, was not opened.
Utility and features

Cite executive compensation as the aggregate line. Do not copy individual officer pay into a note.
Caveats
04
Cards round the lines. 2025 revenue $74,807,964 is the line and $74.8M is the card. Expenses $51,294,139 is the line and $51.3M is the card. Assets $135,243,183 is the line and $135M is the card. Liabilities $9,671,104 is the line and $9.67M is the card. Do not add a card to its line. 2024 is a different return, filed Nov. 14, 2025. A later block on the same page printed a revenue figure whose fiscal-year heading did not survive the text extract. That figure is not assigned to 2023 here.
The state table's highest-salary column is an amount, not a person this listing names. Individual officer compensation on the Pro Publica filing is on the page and is not repeated here. The executive compensation line, $2,416,280 for 2025 and $2,330,844 for 2024, is the aggregate. $4.7T is the homepage's total of nonprofit revenue, not a ProPublica fee. Investigative data is only the nearest category. Nonprofit Explorer is a Form 990 viewer. A salary line is not an identification.

Potential use cases
06
- The rounded card is about to replace the cents. On 23 Oct 2026 the Pro Publica Inc page, EIN 14-2007220, printed 2025 revenue of $74,807,964 and a card of $74.8M. Expenses were $51,294,139 on the line and $51.3M on the card. Assets were $135,243,183 and $135M. Quote the line and the card as two presentations. Do not add them.
- 2024 is about to be folded into 2025. The 2024 revenue line is $64,268,632, executive compensation $2,330,844, filed Nov. 14, 2025. The 2025 return says Filed on Sept. 23, 2026, with executive compensation $2,416,280. A later block whose year heading did not survive the extract is not assigned a year here. The homepage counters, dated October 22, 2026, are 2M, 18.2M, and $4.7T.
- An officer's pay is about to be copied out of the filing. The page lists named officers and their compensation. This listing quotes the aggregate executive compensation line and does not repeat the names or the individual amounts. Highest salary in the state table is the table's column. It is not a person this note names. No site fee and no SPDX field were printed.
Hard cases
The case where the first result is easy to over-read.
The card replaces the revenue line
2025 revenue $74,807,964 and the card $74.8M are the same field on EIN 14-2007220. Replacing the line with the card, or adding them, invents a second revenue figure. Cite both, and say the card is the page's rounding.
