TechNow SAI Answers · Prices
Short answer: It ranges from free (your own time) to hundreds of dollars an hour (a lawyer). In between: our LegalEase help is a flat $29.99 with the first page read free; a per-filing service like ProSay charges $59 per filing (Connecticut only, and you file it yourself); hourly document support like Sioux Empire runs $85 an hour. What you are really choosing is how much of the work — and the worry — stays on you.
Do it yourself — $0. Always an option, and for simple forms often the right one. The cost is your time, and the risk is a missed deadline or an incomplete form bouncing back weeks later.
LegalEase by TechNow SAI — $29.99 flat. We go through the forms with you, fill out every form completely, and get it submitted. First page read free (upload it securely here), so you can see whether we can help before you pay anything. Available in every U.S. ZIP code. Paperwork help only — we are not lawyers or Social Security representatives, and we never charge a percentage of anyone’s benefits.
Per-filing services — around $59 per filing. ProSay, for example, charges $59 per filing, lets you see every page free, serves Connecticut only — and you still file it yourself. (Price from their site, checked November 2026.)
Hourly document support — around $85/hour. Sioux Empire Document Support charges $85 an hour (their example: about $255 for three hours). Honest work, but the meter runs. (Price from their site, checked November 2026.)
A lawyer — typically hundreds per hour. The right call when you need legal advice, representation, or someone to appear for you. Paperwork help is not that, and we will tell you when a lawyer is what you actually need.
Cheap help that leaves the filing, the deadline, and the follow-up on you is not the same product as help that carries the whole thing to “submitted.” Compare what is included, not just the number.
