Fee rate: no fee cap (set by contract) · statute Del. Code tit. 5, § 2227 et seq.. Some states hand you the amount minus the fee; others fund the full amount — your contract controls.
Composite scenarios built from typical situations and the cost math on this page — not quotes from named individuals.
A commuter’s car fails a week before payday. The repair is not optional — without it, no work. An advance covers the shop bill today; the trade-off is repaying $115 — the $15 fee is the price of moving the repair two weeks earlier.
Compare that fee against the cost of missing work before signing.
An urgent prescription lands between paychecks, full price at the counter. A small advance gets the prescription the same day; the loan costs $38 and settles at $293 with the next check.
Small advances are where app-based options are usually cheaper than any loan.
A refrigerator dies in summer. A used replacement is available today at a cash price. The advance buys the replacement now instead of rent-to-own; the $45 fee on a $345 repayment is a one-time cost against months of installments.
One-time fees compound slower than weekly rental contracts — compare totals.

Report it. The Office of the State Bank Commissioner of Delaware enforces Del. Code tit. 5, § 2227 et seq.; unlicensed or over-cap lending is exactly what the agency exists to catch. Keep the contract and payment records.
