# Open Collective

Open Collective provides financial data for open-source projects: current balance, total raised, yearly budget, backer/member counts, recent transactions (credits and debits), and top contributors.

## What it powers

* **Revenue widget** -- Can supplement RevenueCat with Open Collective financial KPIs
* **Analytics widget** -- Falls back to OC transactions when OpenPanel is not configured
* **SEO widget** -- Falls back to OC members list when Google Search Console is not configured
* **Detail panel** -- Full Open Collective view with KPIs, transactions, and members (highest priority in detail panel)
