The Help Costs Money. Price the Free Version of It First
Price recourse honestly: the free routes with their real terms next to the paid options and the amount at stake. It runs locally in this browser and sends nothing.
LIMIT FIRST: This is a planning and referral aid, not legal or financial advice. It cannot enrol you in a programme, connect a service, or guarantee that free help is available where you live.

Cost and free path
Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.
Rule status (mixed route): in force: LSC-funded civil legal aid serves households at or below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines ($19,562/year for a single person in 2026) and court fee waivers are set by each court. FY2026 funding for LSC was reduced by roughly 3.6%, and local programmes in several states lost additional funding, so wait times vary.
Automated decision this documents: eligibility and capacity rules that decide who receives free representation
Free path, in order (no cost):
Legal aid intake through lawhelp.org (LSC-funded programmes serve 125% of the federal poverty guidelines)
Court fee-waiver (in forma pauperis) request — ask the clerk for the form with the filing
211 — local navigation and referral (211.org); CFPB complaint route for consumer matters
What this cannot do: It cannot enrol you in a programme, connect a service, or guarantee that free help is available where you live.

This tool reduces uncertainty; it does not replace a bank's fraud department, a mental-health professional, legal advice, a school privacy contact, or qualified technical help, and it cannot prove that a call, message, account, decision, or AI system is safe.
