The AI-powered SimpleCitizen alternative
SimpleCitizen is a guided immigration service: you answer a plain-English questionnaire about your case and it produces the completed USCIS forms, with optional review by an independent immigration attorney.
Quick answer
SimpleCitizen and Filly AI are not the same kind of product. SimpleCitizen guides one person through one immigration case and can add attorney review. Filly is a form-filling tool with no legal guidance — it fills any form, from any agency, for any number of people, from details you save once.
Where SimpleCitizen is strong
For one person filing their own green card or citizenship application, SimpleCitizen is hard to beat. It turns USCIS instructions into questions a non-lawyer can actually answer, checks the package for completeness, and can put an immigration attorney in front of it before you file. Filly offers none of that.

Why teams switch to Filly
When you file for other people, not yourself
Paralegals, preparers and community organisations handle many cases at once. Filly is built around a roster of clients rather than one applicant's case, so each person's details are saved once and reused.
When the paperwork isn't only immigration
The same client usually needs IRS, SSA, HR and contract forms too. One Filly profile fills all of them; an immigration service covers immigration.
When the form isn't on their list
Guided services support a defined catalogue. Filly reads whatever you upload — any PDF or DOCX, including scanned and unusual forms — and finds the fields with AI.
Flat pricing instead of per case
Free to start, then $19/month regardless of how many petitions you prepare, rather than a fee attached to each case.
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 SimpleCitizen alternative?
- For the filling, yes; for the guidance, no. SimpleCitizen explains what each question means and can add attorney review — Filly does neither. Filly is the better choice when you already know what to enter and want to stop typing it, especially across many people or many agencies.
- Does Filly AI give immigration advice?
- No. Filly is software, not a law firm, and nothing in it is legal or immigration advice. It fills the fields you tell it to fill and flags what it is unsure about; you review every value before you file. If you need someone to tell you which form to file or how to answer it, use a guided service or an attorney.
- Can Filly AI fill USCIS forms like SimpleCitizen?
- Yes — it includes official USCIS forms and reads any other government PDF you upload, including scanned copies. The difference is that it fills them from a client profile you saved rather than from a guided questionnaire, and it does not check your case for eligibility or completeness.
- Does Filly AI file forms with USCIS?
- No. Filly produces the completed document; submitting it to USCIS remains your own step. That is true both of the built-in forms library and of anything you upload yourself.
