Your first cases are free Every account gets a small number of tracked cases at no cost. The number is set by the administrator and shown on the tracker page.
After that your plan decides Each plan carries an allowance of tracked cases. The tracker page shows the allowance, what is used, and what is left.
Refreshing a tracked case is free within the window The platform keeps each court record for a few hours. A refresh inside that window is answered from the cache and costs nothing.
Searching costs even when it finds nothing The provider charges for the call, not for the answer, so a failed search is metered too. This is why the captcha and the court filter exist.
Check your usage The tracker page carries your own figures. Administrators see the platform’s, with what the cache saved, under Court data and usage.

Allowances count tracked cases fed by the court data. Cases you type in by hand are never counted and never limited.

Questions

I have used my allowance. What now?

Keep tracking by hand — the manual form stays available and is free — or move to a plan with a larger allowance.

Does removing a tracked case give the allowance back?

No. The lookup has already been paid for.

How current is a cached record?

The cache window is a few hours and the age is printed on the case. Anything older is fetched fresh.

Tracking a case in court Find a matter in the court’s own data, keep it, and let its hearings and orders come to you. Plans and what they change What the free tier does, what a paid plan adds, and where to see what you are on.
