The docketing fee for filing a paid case is $300, plus whatever it costs to make 40 copies of everything you submit. These expenses are waived if the court allows you to proceed in forma pauperis (Latin: as a pauper) because you can't afford the expense. About half the cases on the Court's docket are accepted in this manner.
There are no other direct court costs associated with a Supreme Court hearing; however, the true cost of moving a case through the appellate system to a Supreme Court decision has been estimated at around one million dollars due to the amount of legal work and research involved.
Individuals don't necessarily pay this expense out of pocket, however. If the case is important enough to warrant a Supreme Court hearing, particularly if the matter involves civil rights, organizations like the ACLU and NAACP may provide free legal research and counsel, and absorb the cost of litigation as a public service.

Does the supreme court spend the vast majority of its time as a trial court or an apellate court?
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. As such, the Supreme Court is primarily an appellate court, hearing cases appealed from the Federal "Circuit Courts" on a discretionary basis. According to the Constitution, the Supreme Court may exercise original jurisdiction (similar to a trial-level court) over a very small range of cases: cases affecting ambassadors or diplomats, and cases in which a state is a party (this was part of the battle in Marbury v. Madison). However, this too is discretionary, which makes the Supreme Court in all cases unlike a trial level court (which has mandatory jurisdiction).
