Why this exists
I'm Freek, a solo developer from the Netherlands. I build small tools that take things that should be simple and make them actually simple — mostly in the windows when our toddler and pre-schooler are finally asleep.
When I found out that claim agencies typically hold back a quarter to a third of a claim that's legally already yours, I figured: there could just be a tool for that. So this is that tool.
Those agencies spent years in court forcing airlines to actually pay out under Regulation 261/2004. Without that work this tool wouldn't exist — credit where it's due. But now that the rules are settled, the steps aren't hard. Three questions, one letter, a follow-up if they don't pay.
Don't want to think about it? A claim agency is exactly for that — fine choice, costs you a quarter to a third of the payout. Want to do it yourself and keep the full amount? Then this is for you.
Free. Tip if you want, no need.
Frequently asked questions
Who made this?
Me! See above — Freek, solo developer, two small kids. No team, no founders, no funding.
Is this a claim agency?
No. A claim agency takes the claim off you and keeps a cut. This tool lets you send the letter yourself — your name, your IBAN, your payout. I'm nowhere in the loop.
How is this free?
Honestly, running it costs me almost nothing — about half a cent per user in AI costs. The rest was my time, and I gave that. If the tool helped you, you can leave a tip. No need.
Will you ever charge for this?
For what the tool does now? Probably not. Maybe for future extras (e.g. a dashboard with all your claims in one place), but the basics — the letter and the follow-up — stay free. Promise is a strong word, intent maybe better.
