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.

What TapClaim users say
“This is an amazing tool to help navigate what we would have NEVER known otherwise.”
“one of the best easiest amazing apps I have ever used. everybody can use it. that simple and the payouts are real.”
“easy and quick access to money you missed!”
What PayMe users say about filing
“I submitted claims for 20 to 50 class actions over the course of six months and never received a single response. On the rare occasions the app actually functioned, it was unclear whether anything was being processed at all.”
“The "estimate" is the same for everyone, so don't think it actually has anything to do with the info they ask for.”
Reviews are quoted verbatim from public store listings on the dates shown.
PayMe review: what its own listings say
PayMe's App Store listing describes itself as the all-in-one app that finds hidden money, lowers your bills, and files claims: settlements, forgotten accounts turned over to the state, negotiable bills, tax refunds, security deposits, and gift cards. The Google Play listing narrows to class actions, promising to match you with a few quick questions and file claims in seconds.
Public Google Play reviews describe the settlement side less confidently.
“I submitted claims for 20 to 50 class actions over the course of six months and never received a single response. On the rare occasions the app actually functioned, it was unclear whether anything was being processed at all.”

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.
Breadth versus depth
Bundling every kind of found money into one app is a real convenience, and if you want your state's unclaimed property search next to your settlements, PayMe offers that. The cost is that settlements become one feature among many. TapClaim's screen has one job: settlements you qualify for, their official claim forms, and the status of every claim you filed.
Knowing what happened to your claim
Settlement payments arrive months after filing. PayMe's listings describe real-time claim and payout tracking, while the reviews above describe claims with no response. TapClaim keeps every filed claim in one list, where you mark it Applied, In Review, Paid, or Rejected, and every settlement page on tapclaim.app shows the official source, so you can always check the case yourself.
Looking for a PayMe alternative? Check these four things
Whatever app or site you consider, four questions separate a claim tool from a reading list.
If settlements are what you came for, an app that does only settlements, with each official claim form opening inside the app, is the shorter path.
- 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 PayMe?
If settlements are what you came for, an app that does only settlements, with each official claim form opening inside the app, is the shorter path.
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.
Bottom line
Choose TapClaim if you want settlements matched in 5 questions without an account, the official claim form opened inside the app, and every claim kept in one list. Choose PayMe if you want unclaimed property searches and bill negotiation in the same app as settlements. PayMe says it files settlement claims for you, but its public reviews describe claims with no response; in TapClaim you submit the claim yourself and keep its status in view.
Frequently asked questions
Does PayMe file claims for you?
Its listings say it files settlement claims for you and handles the submission process. Public Google Play reviews describe claims with no response and uncertainty about whether anything was being processed. TapClaim does not file for you: it opens the official claim form inside the app, and you keep each claim's status in view.
Does PayMe search unclaimed property?
Its App Store listing says it finds accounts turned over to the state. TapClaim does not search state unclaimed property databases; use your state's official program for that.
PayMe vs TapClaim: which should I download?
Download TapClaim for settlements matched in 5 questions, with each official claim form opened inside the app and every claim in one list. Download PayMe if you want unclaimed property and bill negotiation bundled with settlements.
Does TapClaim file claims for you?
No. You file inside the app: TapClaim opens the administrator's official claim form, you submit it there, and the claim stays in your claims list, where you update its status.

No. You answer 5 questions and start matching without creating an account or giving an email address.
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.
Are the settlements real?
Both TapClaim and PayMe point to real class action settlements. Before filing anywhere, open the official administrator or court source. Every settlement page on tapclaim.app links to that source and shows when it was verified.
Is TapClaim legit?
Yes. TapClaim is an independent settlement app operated by EVERCODE, listed on the App Store and Google Play, with a public editorial policy and corrections log on this site. It is not a law firm and does not pay claims; administrators do.
