What using TapClaim looks like
Screens from the TapClaim App Store listing. Estimates shown are illustrative; settlement administrators set every payout.
Step 1Answer a few questions, qualify in seconds
Each settlement shows the estimated payment, the deadline, and whether proof is needed. Two quick questions tell you whether you look eligible before you spend a minute on a form.
Step 2See your matches on one screen
Your matches land together with an estimate across all of them, strongest first. The questions surface settlements you would never think to search for, like data breaches at companies that held your information.
Step 3File from the app, track every claim to the check
Filed claims stay in one list, where you mark each one Applied, In Review, Paid, or Rejected and record what it paid, so you are not digging through email to remember what you filed.
Step 4Get nudged before deadlines
Settlements close quietly. Save one and TapClaim reminds you before its window shuts.

“Each time I go back into the app it keeps telling me to reconnect my bank info.”

Catch review: what its own listings say
Catch's App Store listing leads with rewards: cash and gift cards for playing games, taking surveys, downloading apps, and trying products, with settlement finding as the second pillar. Its listing says you can submit a claim in a few taps and track everything you have filed. Its website asks you to connect your bank so Catch can check your purchases, its terms describe that Plaid connection as an option and an auto-file feature for certain claims, and its FAQ says claims usually go through the settlement website.
Google Play reviews describe the friction in practice: repeated requests to reconnect bank accounts, and claims that were hard to complete.
“I've checked about ten so far that I'm eligible for and they all have made it so complicated to file a claim that I could not find a way to do so except for one of those ten.”

TapClaim in 60 seconds: five questions, then file
TapClaim starts with 5 questions about the products, services, and accounts you have used. In about 60 seconds you get a short list of settlements you qualify for, each with the estimated payment, the deadline, and the proof rule. You do not create an account or give an email address to start.
Then filing. Tap the settlement and confirm the eligibility questions, and TapClaim opens the administrator's official claim form inside the app. You submit the claim there, and it stays in your TapClaim claims list, where you mark its status as it moves.
Transactions versus questions
Bank matching finds what you paid for. Catch adds cases flagged by your state, per its FAQ, but transaction matching cannot see the settlements that have nothing to do with a purchase: a data breach at a hospital or an insurer that held your records, a privacy case about an account you never paid for, a fee refund on a card that is not connected. Five questions about what you have used cover those, and they do not require handing a third party your transaction history.
Filing and focus
Catch says you can submit a claim in a few taps, describes an auto-file option for certain claims, and says claims usually go through the settlement website. TapClaim opens the official claim form inside the app, you submit it there, and the claim stays in your claims list. Catch shares its screen with surveys and games; TapClaim's screen has one job. Neither is wrong, but if you opened an app to file settlement claims, fewer detours between you and the claim is the point.
Looking for a Catch alternative? Check these four things
Whatever app or site you consider, four questions separate a claim tool from a reading list.
Catch splits one app between cash rewards and a settlement finder. If you want settlements matched without a bank connection, the official claim form opened inside the app, and every claim kept in one list, TapClaim is built for that.
- Does it match you from what you have used, or from a list of brands you have to remember?
- Does it open the official claim form inside the app, or send you to the administrator's website?
- Does it keep every filed claim and its status in one place?
- Does it show the official source for each settlement so you can verify before filing?
Still on the fence?
Why not just use Catch?
Catch splits one app between cash rewards and a settlement finder. If you want settlements matched without a bank connection, the official claim form opened inside the app, and every claim kept in one list, TapClaim is built for that.
Is it worth five minutes?
The FTC found that fewer than 1 in 10 eligible consumers ever file a claim. Every match in TapClaim shows an estimated payment before you file, so you decide what is worth your time.
Is my information safe?
You do not create an account or give an email address to start. TapClaim asks for your ZIP code only to match state-specific settlements and does not sell your answers. You enter claim details on the administrator's official form, so they go to the same party that would receive them on its own website.
Can I use both?
You can, but file each settlement claim only once. Administrators reject duplicate claims, so pick one place to file and track from.
Who it is for
Choose TapClaim if
- You want matches from 5 questions, not from a list of brands you have to remember or a directory you have to read.
- You want each official claim form to open inside one app instead of switching between websites.
- You want every claim you have filed, and the status you mark for it, in one place.
- You want to see the official source for every settlement before you file.
