Heat Local is free to use. Tips pay for the one part that costs us real money: reading each town’s laws.
Why it costs money
1To tell you one council vote would pass a law, we have to know what your town’s laws already say. Most towns’ laws run to hundreds of pages.
2We use an AI service to read those pages for all fifteen policies. It charges by the page, so a town with more laws costs more to read.
3That comes to about $5 per town on average: a little less for a small town, much more for a big city.
