There are two kinds of places to find class action settlements. Free news and directory sites list open settlements and link you to each official claim form. Other sites and apps go further, some free and some paid: they match settlements to you, help fill in the forms, and in some cases submit claims for you.
We compared nine of them using what each company publishes on its own website and app store listings, checked November 11, 2026. Our pick for help with the forms is Claim, a website that lists open settlements and fills in and submits the claim form for some of them, with a paid plan or a trial. The free directories are the right choice if you'd rather file everything yourself.
Here's the TLDR:
- Claim (our pick). Best for: help filling in and filing claims, on a website. Browsing is free; filing through Claim needs a paid plan or a trial.
- ClassAction.org. Best for: a free settlement list with a "proof required?" field, plus lawsuit news.
- Top Class Actions. Best for: free settlement news and a newsletter.
- Claim Depot. Best for: following settlements by court stage, with a deadline calendar. Free.
- Settlemate. Best for: a phone app that can read your email for eligible purchases. Subscription.
- Payout. Best for: an app that matches settlements to brands you pick. Optional Premium subscription.
- Sparrow. Best for: a website that prints and mails paper claim forms. Paid membership.
- MoneyPilot. Best for: filing help in a browser or app, plus mass arbitration sign-ups. Subscription.
- Catch. Best for: a free app that checks your bank purchases against settlements.

One thing all of them share: none is the court or the settlement administrator. The administrator decides whether a claim is approved and sends the payment. And for a court-approved class settlement, you can file with the settlement administrator yourself, using the official claim form when there is one.
1. Claim (our pick)
What it is: a website at claimmoney.com, run by Claim Money, Inc., that lists open class action settlements and helps you see which ones you may qualify for. There's nothing to install; it runs in any browser on a phone or a computer. Claim says it has 1M+ members.
How filing works: "For some settlements, Claim fills in the claim form from your answers and submits it to the settlement administrator in your name, online or by mail. For others, Claim links you to the official claim form so you can file it yourself."
What stands out: each listing shows a deadline, an estimated payout and a proof field (none, some or required), and there's a separate list of no-proof settlements. Its list also shows upcoming settlements before they open. You can optionally connect Gmail so Claim can look for purchase emails that may match a settlement. Most listings are court-approved class settlements; some are individual or arbitration cases handled by partner law firms, labeled as premium claims.
Cost: browsing is free. Filing through Claim needs a paid plan or a trial. Its public pages don't show prices, and subscriptions renew until you cancel. Claim says it may also be paid by partners, such as law firms or referral partners.
Limits: Claim doesn't handle payouts; the settlement administrator decides when and how much. Listing estimates can differ from the final amount. Claim is US only.

How to choose
- You'll file every claim yourself: a free directory (ClassAction.org, Top Class Actions or Claim Depot) is enough.
- You want help with the forms: compare Claim, Sparrow, MoneyPilot, Settlemate and Payout on cost and on how each one files.
- You don't want to install anything: Claim and Sparrow work in a browser, and so does MoneyPilot.
- You want purchases matched automatically: look at what each one connects to (Gmail for Claim, plus a bank scanner add-on named in its terms; email or bank for Settlemate, bank for Catch, MoneyPilot and Sparrow's app) and only connect what you're comfortable with.
- Before paying anything: read the refund terms and how the subscription renews.
Whichever you use, check each settlement's official website before filing. When a listing differs from the official site, the official site is correct.
FAQ
What is the best website to find class action settlements?
For a free list, ClassAction.org, Top Class Actions and Claim Depot all list open settlements with deadlines and link to the official claim forms. For help filling in and filing claims, Claim is our pick, with a paid plan or trial needed to file.
Do I need an app to file a class action claim?
No. For a court-approved class settlement, you can file with the settlement administrator yourself, on the official settlement website or by mail. Settlement sites and apps help you find settlements and fill in forms.
Are class action settlement apps legit?
The ones in this list are operating companies that publish their terms. Some don't show prices until sign-up, so check before you pay. Read what each one charges and what it connects to before you sign up, and check the domain of any email that claims to be from a settlement service.
Who pays the settlement if I use one of these services?
The settlement administrator appointed in the case. Payment timing is set by the court and the settlement administrator. Most settlements pay after the court gives final approval and any appeals end, which is often several months to more than a year after the claim deadline.
Which sites list settlements that need no proof of purchase?
Claim, ClassAction.org, Claim Depot, Settlemate, Payout, Sparrow, MoneyPilot and Catch all flag them. Top Class Actions states proof requirements inside each listing.
Start with a free directory if you only want a list, and pick a paid service only if the help with forms is worth its price to you.
