Free congressional disclosure database
The best GovTrades alternatives
Nobody looks for a GovTrades alternative on price, because there is nothing to beat. They look because the site is a destination and not a service: no app, no watchlist, no alerts, no email. "Alternative" here almost always means the same public filings with a way to be told about them, and, often, a place to keep the tickers you actually own.
7 options below, including ours: the ones closest to what GovTrades 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.
7 alternatives to GovTrades
AI stock tracker
Our appStockPlus
A daily AI market briefing, a real-time watchlist with a 0–100 Pulse Score, price alerts, and congressional and insider trade feeds.
- Best for
- Keeping up in two minutes a day
- Free tier
- Yes
- Paid from
- $2.99/mo Pro
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
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 tracker with a single-politician front door
Pelosi Tracker
A congressional trade site that uses the most searched name in the category as its entry point, then covers Congress broadly behind it.
- Best for
- Analytics on top of the filings, and delivery channels. It computes excess returns and portfolio performance per member, offers CSV export, and sends notifications by email, browser push and Discord. Discord in particular is something StockPlus does not do, and for people who live in a trading server it is the channel that actually gets read.
- Free tier
- Browsing the site is free, but the pricing page lists no free plan: paid tiers begin after a 7-day trial, as of August 2026
- Paid from
- Lite $7.99/mo and Pro $22.99/mo, with annual options, 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
Research and analytics terminal
Koyfin
A web research terminal aimed at serious investors and financial advisors — charting, dashboards, financials, estimates and portfolio analytics in one workspace.
- Best for
- Depth of research workspace. Ten years of financials and estimates, ETF holdings, custom formulas and financial templates, macro dashboards, and advisor tooling with client reporting and custodian integration. It is a genuine Bloomberg-alternative workflow for people who do this professionally, and StockPlus does not attempt any of it.
- Free tier
- Yes — 2 watchlists, 2 screens and 2 custom dashboards, with 2Y financials
- Paid from
- Plus $39/mo, Premium $79/mo, Advisor Core $209/mo, with an annual plan stated to save up to 30%, as of August 2026
Multi-market insider transaction screener
Insider Screener
A screener for insider transactions across 16 markets, taken from national regulators and exchanges rather than from SEC EDGAR alone.
- Best for
- Geography, and it is not close. 16 markets: the US and Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Greece, plus India and Australia in beta, all normalised into one schema. If you hold European or Indian equities, StockPlus cannot show you insider filings on them and Insider Screener can.
- Free tier
- Latest trades and basic screeners are browsable; watchlists, exports and alerts sit behind a plan
- Paid from
- Three tiers, Plus, Pro and Premium, monthly or annual with three months free on annual and a 14-day money-back guarantee. The figures render client-side and were not present in the page source on 27 August 2026, so no price is quoted here
