BineClaim never takes a percentage of what you recover.
Most freelancers start by chasing by hand: a spreadsheet of who owes what, a few polite reminder emails, and maybe a letter written from scratch. That can work for a client who simply forgot. BineClaim puts the same steps into one four-stage workflow with drafted letters and a dated record, for a flat fee and never a percentage of what you recover.
| BineClaim | Chasing by hand | |
|---|---|---|
| Tracking what is owed | Each invoice is a case with its amount, dates and history in one place. | A spreadsheet or inbox search that you keep up to date yourself. |
| Reminders | Stage 1 polite reminder drafted to your case facts, sent by email or SMS from the app. | Emails you write and remember to send. |
| Escalating | Four stages: polite reminder, formal demand, final notice and pre-legal notice, with USPS certified mail available. | You decide the wording and timing each time, and write any letter yourself. |
| Record of contact | Communications are logged with dates and feed the court packet. | Whatever you saved. Gaps are common. |
| If the client ignores you | Generate a 15-section small-claims court packet and file it yourself. BineClaim does not guarantee recovery. | You research your state's filing steps and assemble the paperwork yourself. |
| Cost | Flat fee: $0 Free, $19/mo Starter, $39/mo Pro, or $49 once for one case. | No software cost, but your own time. |
| Best for | Invoices that are past due where you want a clear process and paper trail. | A single invoice from a client who is just late and responds to a friendly nudge. |
The letters create a documented paper trail that strengthens any future legal action, including small claims court. Many clients pay when they receive a formal written demand, especially by certified mail, because it signals you're serious. If they still don't pay, BineClaim generates a complete 15-section court packet ready to file in small claims court, and the Starter and Pro plans include an attorney referral guide for cases that need a lawyer. BineClaim does not guarantee recovery.
