AppealMyFine vs Beat It
| Feature | AppealMyFine | Beat It |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ~£25 per appeal | £3/appeal or £3/quarter |
| Auto-submits appeal | You submit it | We submit it |

The key difference
Handing you a pre-written letter vs. actually filing the appeal for you is a fundamentally different service. With AppealMyFine, you still need to find the right portal, create an account, upload your documents, and hit submit — often under time pressure.
Beat It removes that entirely. Scan your ticket, and we handle the rest — from writing the appeal to submitting it to the operator portal. If they reject it, we escalate to POPLA automatically.
