In the US, filing a provisional application at micro entity status is the lowest-cost route, at roughly $65 in USPTO fees; elsewhere, a first national filing (a UK IPO application, for example, starts at well under £100 in official fees) plays the same role. But a thin, cheaply drafted priority filing gives weak protection since it only covers what's actually disclosed. Flat-fee AI-assisted platforms reduce cost on full non-provisional filings without necessarily sacrificing claim quality, since attorney review is still built in.
