World Monitor
Free live dashboard, with published prices for the Pro tier.
Published by Elie Habib.
In short
World Monitor is a free geopolitical dashboard by Elie Habib, with the source under AGPL-3.0. The public app is worldmonitor.app. The README describes a Country Instability Index, map layers, and local AI through Ollama. The Pro page says the core dashboard stays free and lists self-serve USD prices: Pro is $39.99 a month or $359.99 a year. A dot, a headline, or an index score on the dashboard is the project's reading of public sources. It is not a finished intelligence assessment.
Product pricing strategy
02
Free and paid
The core dashboard is free. The Pro page says so, and it prints USD list prices for self-serve plans. Annual figures there are the yearly total, not a second monthly rate. Free is $0. Pro is $39.99 a month or $359.99 a year. Pro Business is $49.99 a month or $449.99 a year. API Starter is $99.99 a month or $899.99 a year. API Business is $299.99 a month or $2,699.99 a year. Enterprise is listed as custom. The page says Pro adds the analyst chat, the digest, MCP connectors, and the widget builder, and that the data feeds named on that page sit under the free dashboard as well. Confirm the numbers on the Pro page before you buy. They are list prices, not a quote this directory negotiated.
Utility and features
03
World Monitor is the dashboard at worldmonitor.app and the repository github.com/koala73/worldmonitor. The README says the code is AGPL-3.0, names Elie Habib, and describes a Country Instability Index with scores for 31 countries, plus variants and a local AI path through Ollama that does not require an API key. The Pro page says the free dashboard remains free, and that Pro adds an analyst chat, a digest, MCP connectors, and a widget builder.
- A map and panels. The dashboard is a live view: a situation header, panels, and layers. What you see depends on the view you opened.
- An index with a date. The Country Instability Index page prints a score, a 24-hour movement, and an updated time. Read both dates on the page if they differ.
- Pro is the paid layer. The Pro page prices the analyst chat, the digest, and the API plans. The map itself is the free dashboard.
The dashboard opened on 16 Oct 2026 showed a global situation view with a clock in UTC, a crisis-desk panel, and news-source labels. The Country Instability Index page showed a table. On that capture the rows included Russia at 90, Syria at 79, and Ukraine at 77, with an Updated column of 16 Oct 2026, 12:00 PM UTC. The same page also said a published pulse was from 12 Oct 2026. Quote the column you are looking at. The index is their score. It is not a measurement this directory repeated independently.
- 1
Open the dashboard and note the UTC time in the header before you describe what is on the map.
- 2
Open the Country Instability Index if the question is the project's country score. Record the score and the Updated column.
- 3
Treat a panel headline as a pointer to the source named on the panel. Open that source before you brief it.
- 4
Read the Pro page if you need the analyst or the API. The free dashboard does not include that paid layer.
Caveats
04
World Monitor aggregates other people's reporting and its own indexes. A panel can be delayed, duplicated, or wrong, and the index page on 16 Oct 2026 carried two dates at once. A score is their model. It moves. Record the version and the updated time, and do not treat a rise of a few points as an event you observed.
The Pro prices are list prices for the analyst, the digest, and the API. They do not make the underlying headline true. The free dashboard is the map. Flight tracks, markets, and cables on a layer are still feeds with their own errors. Confirm a specific claim in Flightradar24, the named outlet, or the primary dataset before you put it in a report.

Potential use cases
06
- You need a current world picture before a briefing and you do not want a paid seat yet. Open the free dashboard and read the UTC clock in the header. Note which panels are actually on screen. The 16 Oct 2026 view showed a global situation display with a crisis desk and news-source labels. Open the outlet named on a headline before you repeat the headline. The map is an orientation. The article is the source.
- Someone asks which countries the project currently scores as most stressed. Open the Country Instability Index, not the homepage. On the capture, the table listed Russia at 90, Syria at 79, and Ukraine at 77, updated 16 Oct 2026 at 12:00 PM UTC, while another sentence on the page pointed at 12 Oct. Quote the row and both dates. Do not brief the score as an official assessment.
- A team wants the analyst chat, a scheduled digest, or the API. That is the Pro page, not the free map. Pro is $39.99 a month or $359.99 a year there, and the API plans are priced separately, up to the business tier at $299.99 a month. Buy that only when the free dashboard cannot answer the question. The README's Ollama path is the local AI option that does not require those plans.
Hard cases
The case where the first result is easy to over-read.
The index page disagrees with itself
The Country Instability Index page said a ranking was as of 12 Oct 2026 and the table's Updated column said 16 Oct 2026. Do not pick the sentence that fits the briefing. Capture the page, write both timestamps, and say which column you are quoting. If the decision needs the current score, reload and record the new Updated time. The earlier sentence may be a published pulse that the table has already replaced.
Questions
Is World Monitor free?
The dashboard is free. Pro is $39.99 a month or $359.99 a year on the Pro page, and the API plans on that page cost more. Enterprise is custom.
Is a Country Instability Index score a fact about the country?
It is World Monitor's score from the signals they describe. Record the number, the version, and the updated time. It is not an official government assessment.
