The AI-powered CitizenPath alternative
CitizenPath is low-cost guided preparation for a fixed catalogue of USCIS forms: a questionnaire, attorney-reviewed software, error checks, filing instructions, and a completed form ready to sign.
Quick answer
CitizenPath is guided preparation for a set list of USCIS forms; Filly AI is a filler for any form at all. Choose CitizenPath if you want each question explained on one petition. Choose Filly if you already know what to enter and want to stop retyping it — across USCIS, IRS, SSA and your own documents, for as many people as you like.
Where CitizenPath is strong
CitizenPath is among the most affordable ways to get an individual USCIS petition prepared with real guidance, and its filing instructions and error checks are written for people who have never filed anything before. If you are unsure what a question is asking, that is worth more than any amount of auto-fill.

Why teams switch to Filly
Any form, not a catalogue
Guided services support the petitions they have built questionnaires for. Filly reads whatever you upload and finds the fields with AI, including forms no service covers and scanned copies of older editions.
Every agency, one profile
A client's name, date of birth, A-number and addresses are the same on an I-130, a W-9 and an SS-5. Save them once and they fill all three.
Built for repeat filers
If petitions come across your desk for different people, per-form preparation restarts every time. Filly keeps a roster and batch-fills across it — up to 5 clients per run on Solo and 20 on Pro.
Free to try on your own form
The free plan includes real AI fills with no credit card, so you can test it on a form you actually have before deciding.
Try Filly free — no card
Fill your first forms today. 10 forms, 5 clients, 10 fills a month on the free plan.
Get startedFrequently asked questions
- Is Filly AI a CitizenPath alternative?
- For filling, yes; for guidance, no. CitizenPath walks you through what each question on a specific USCIS form means and checks for common errors. Filly fills any form from saved data but explains nothing about your case, so it suits people who already know their answers.
- Which is cheaper, CitizenPath or Filly AI?
- It depends on volume. CitizenPath charges per form prepared, which is inexpensive for a single petition. Filly is free to start and $19/month regardless of how many forms you fill, which wins as soon as you are filing repeatedly or for more than one person.
- Does Filly AI check my USCIS form for errors?
- Not in the legal sense. Filly flags fields it filled with low confidence so you can verify them, but it does not assess eligibility, check your case for completeness, or confirm you are filing the correct form. Those are exactly the things a guided service or an attorney provides.
- Can Filly AI handle a form CitizenPath does not cover?
- Yes. Filly reads any PDF or DOCX you upload, including scanned files via OCR, and identifies the fields with AI — it is not limited to a catalogue. You review every value before exporting.
