iOS congress-trade tracker

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, including ours: the ones closest to what Capitol Gains is actually for, ordered by how close — not ranked best to worst. The right pick depends on whether your problem is choosing stocks, following them, or tracking a portfolio. We compare 37 tools in all.

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
Compare with StockPlus
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 — 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
Compare with StockPlus
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
Compare with StockPlus
Investment research incumbent
Morningstar
The long-established research house behind the star ratings — 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
Compare with StockPlus
Charting and analysis platform
TradingView
The charting platform most traders end up on — 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.
