# Audit Public Records Copy Invoices Against Statutory Per-Page Caps — Free

Government agencies responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and state public records requests sometimes issue inflated cost estimates that violate statutory per-page copy limits. Enter your invoice line items, billable page counts, agency rates, and statutory caps to audit charges and calculate unlawful fee excess.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Journalists, civic advocates, legal researchers, and citizens auditing public records duplication fees.

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked foia-fee packet run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent foia-fee packet app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the foia-fee packet with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed dollars and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
