Updated November 9, 2026
See which open class action settlements you may qualify for.
Get startedSummary
- Claim is an alternative to Payout: a website that finds class action settlements you may qualify for and explains each one in plain language. For some settlements, Claim fills in the claim form and submits it in your name. For others, it links you to the official claim form.
- Why people look: Payout is a phone app. Some people would rather use a website, or want to see what else exists before choosing.
- Also covered: Catch, Settlemate, Sparrow, Top Class Actions, ClassAction.org and Claim Depot.
Claim is our product. Details about other services come from their own websites as of November 9, 2026.
What is the best alternative to Payout?
For most people, Claim. It finds settlements you may qualify for and, for some settlements, fills in the claim form and submits it in your name, without asking you to install anything.
- Works in any browser. Use Claim at claimmoney.com on a phone or computer, with nothing to install.
- Plain-language settlement pages. Each open settlement explains who may qualify, the deadline and what proof you need.
- Accurate listings. Claim works to keep listing details accurate. If a listing differs from the official settlement website, the official website is correct. See how Claim keeps listings accurate.
- Help with the form. 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.
- Not a law firm. Claim is not a law firm and doesn’t pretend to be one. The settlement administrator decides who gets paid.

Frequently asked questions
Is Claim a good alternative to Payout?

Is there a Payout alternative that works on a website?
Yes. Claim works entirely at claimmoney.com. Top Class Actions, ClassAction.org and Claim Depot are also websites, focused on news and listings rather than help with the form.
