have you used it? I signed up just to see if I could pull dockets on publically traded companies, so I'd know if there'd be litigation before others and get an edge in trading. It was about 2 hours of using the system before I realized this would be impossible (you know, on my personal budget.) I think I made like under 10 searches and racked up over a dollar in fees. Some of the pages actually charge you per search result not even search. So if you query a term and you get 100 results, that's 100 charges.

Yes! I used it a bunch and it was free. Had a friend that was prosecuted by the feds. It was a long/complex case and I pulled up all the documents for it, multiple times. I ended up not being charged a thing! Though the pricing was very opaque. I assumed I would be charged something so was surprised a bit when it was all free. (though they should have made this much more clear) I feel like using PACER data to inform stock trading signals is a pretty niche use case... For "regular people" that have a connection with a few cases, I think it should be free, and it was in my experience.
