Out of pocket. Free for you.
Feed the claims machine.
The site is free. Always free. I'm paying for the build out of my pocket. If you want to chip in a digital musket ball, that'd be dope. If not — keep the money. The whole point of this site is for you to keep your money.
The honest part
This is the part where most platforms get evasive. We won't.
What this costs me to run, monthly:
- · Servers / hosting (Hostinger VPS, Cloudflare)
- · AI API calls (Claude does the paralegal work)
- · Lawyer reviewing the platform itself
- · Domain, email, monitoring, certificates
- · My time: free. Always free for you.
It adds up to thousands of dollars a month at scale. I'm doing it anyway.
What this does NOT cost:
- · It does not cost you anything to use 1776 Claims.
- · It does not buy you legal services.
- · It does not improve your claim outcome.
- · It does not get you priority, special treatment, or line-cutting at the actual fund.
- · It is not tax-deductible (unless / until a 501(c)(3) is established and disclosed here).

Ever. We store email, amount, Stripe txn ID. That's it.
We are not a law firm. We do not give legal advice.
1776 Claims helps you organize your story, papers, damages, and timeline. The AI is a helper, not a lawyer. Before you send your file anywhere, a real lawyer needs to look at it. We are not the government. No payouts promised.
Donations support 1776 Claims and its founder. They are gifts, not purchases. They do not buy legal services, do not alter your claim outcome, and do not create any attorney-client relationship. 1776 Claims is not a charitable organization at this time; donations are nottax-deductible. Stripe processes payments. Refunds available within 30 days. We do not sell donor data.
