The best Capitol Gains alternatives
Capitol Gains alternatives get searched for a platform reason more than a product one. It is iOS only, so half the people who hear about it cannot install it. The other common reason is scope: it is an excellent second app and a poor only app, because it holds no prices, no price alerts and no watchlist of stocks, only of politicians.
7 options below: 6 independent alternatives, ordered by how close each one sits to what Capitol Gains is actually for rather than best to worst, plus our own app, listed on its own so you can tell the two apart. The right pick depends on whether your problem is choosing stocks, following them, or tracking a portfolio. We compare 37 tools in all.
Where Capitol Gains still wins
Editorial analysis of the filings. Capitol Gains does not just list trades: it scores committee conflicts from 0 to 100, flags cluster buys and whale trades, cross-references lobbying expenditure, and ranks members by trading performance. Stockplus shows you the filing and lets you draw your own conclusion. If you want the tool to have an opinion about which trades look off, they have built that and we have not.
If that is the part you rely on, staying put is a reasonable answer, and nothing below is an upgrade on it.

6 alternatives to Capitol Gains
Free Android congress-trade tracker
Capitol Trades Tracker
A free Android app that organises US congressional stock disclosures into a searchable feed, with a link to the original government filing on every row.
- Best for
- Being free and linking its sources. There is no subscription, no paywall and no upsell: the listing says "No subscriptions. No hidden fees." Every trade it shows links straight back to the Senate EFD or House Clerk record it came from, and its AI context flags are labelled as automated analysis rather than fact. That is more sourcing discipline than most paid products manage.
- Free tier
- The whole app is free: "No subscriptions. No hidden fees."
- Paid from
- None. Free, with no in-app purchases, as of August 2026
Congressional trade disclosure tracker
Capitol Trades
A free website that publishes US congressional stock trade disclosures, browsable by politician, by issuer and by filing.
- Best for
- The data, and the price. Capitol Trades presents congressional disclosures more thoroughly than Stockplus does. It has per-politician and per-issuer pages, filterable filings, and it costs nothing to browse. If you want to research who traded what, go there and do not pay anyone.
- Free tier
- The whole site is free to browse
- Paid from
- No consumer subscription, free to browse, as of August 2026
Free congressional disclosure database
GovTrades
A free, no-signup website that republishes US congressional stock disclosures, searchable by politician, ticker, state and district.
- Best for
- Friction, or the absence of it. "Free access. No signup required." is the whole business model, and there is no upsell waiting three clicks in. 444 politicians, 66,070 transactions and 7,072 filings as of August 2026, with state and district filters and full portfolio views per member. If you want to look something up once, you should use this and not pay us anything.
- Free tier
- The whole site is free, with no account required
- Paid from
- None. The site states "Free access. No signup required.", as of August 2026
Copy-trading app
Autopilot
An app that links to your brokerage and automatically mirrors a chosen portfolio (including politician trackers such as its Pelosi Tracker) with your own money.
- Best for
- Actually doing it. Autopilot is the only product in this comparison set that executes: you pick a Pilot, allocate an amount, and it places the trades in your own brokerage account without you doing anything. If your problem is that you read about a trade and then never act on it, that is a real problem and Autopilot genuinely solves it. Stockplus will only ever tell you.
- Free tier
- A Basic membership exists; their FAQ states additional subscription fees may apply
- Paid from
- Not publicly disclosed as of August 2026
Investment research incumbent
Morningstar
The long-established research house behind the star ratings, with fund, ETF and equity analysis, sold to individual investors as Morningstar Investor.
- Best for
- Independent research, at a depth and a vintage nobody here matches. Morningstar has been rating funds since 1984, employs analysts who publish written theses, and its fund and ETF coverage is the reference standard the rest of the industry quotes. If you hold funds, this is the serious answer and Stockplus is not a substitute for a word of it.
- Free tier
- Yes, a free app tier, plus a great deal of free web content
- Paid from
- Morningstar Investor $34.99/mo or $249.99/yr after a 7-day free trial, as of August 2026
Charting and analysis platform
TradingView
The charting platform most traders end up on, with advanced charts across every asset class, a scripting language for custom indicators, and a large community publishing ideas.
- Best for
- Charts, and it is not close. Pine Script, hundreds of built-in indicators, multi-chart layouts, replay, and a community publishing setups every day. If you draw on charts to make decisions, nothing in Stockplus replaces TradingView.
- Free tier
- Yes, Basic, with ads and 2 indicators per chart
- Paid from
- Essential $12.95/mo to Ultimate $199.95/mo, plus exchange data fees, as of August 2026

Questions people ask
What is the best Capitol Gains alternative on Android?
Capitol Trades Tracker is a free Android app for the same disclosures, with no subscription. Stockplus is on both stores, keeps the congressional feed on its free tier, and adds live prices and price alerts around it. On the web, Capitol Trades and GovTrades are free from any device.
Which alternative also analyses the trades rather than just listing them?
Quiver Quantitative goes furthest, with per-politician pages, backtesting and lobbying and government-contract data alongside. Unusual Whales carries politician data inside a broader retail dashboard from $50/mo. Both are research tools rather than phone apps.
Is there a free alternative with notifications?
Stockplus pushes congressional filings that touch your watchlist on the free tier, on iOS and Android. Most free options are websites you have to visit, because the underlying disclosures are public and free but delivery is not.
Scoring a trade only means something if you know what the filing does and does not say. The short version: congress stock trades, explained.
