Political-trading intelligence dashboard
The best TraderCongress alternatives
TraderCongress alternatives are searched by people who hit the free plan's 60-day delay and did not expect it, and by people who wanted this on a phone. The dashboard itself is dense and genuinely useful, but it is a desktop research surface: there is no mobile app as of August 2026, so whatever it finds waits for you to log in.
7 options below: 6 independent alternatives, ordered by how close each one sits to what TraderCongress 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 TraderCongress still wins
Joining datasets that usually live apart. Congressional disclosures on their own tell you what a member bought. TraderCongress puts 109,800+ of those beside 13,200+ government contract awards and 20,000+ lobbying reports, which is the combination that makes a trade interesting rather than just visible. Stockplus does not carry contracts or lobbying data at all.
If that is the part you rely on, staying put is a reasonable answer, and nothing below is an upgrade on it.
The app we make
This page is published by Stockplus, so our own app is shown here rather than given a place in the ranking below.

6 alternatives to TraderCongress
Alternative data platform
Quiver Quantitative
An alternative-data platform that surfaces congressional trading, lobbying, government contracts, insider filings, and retail chatter as browsable datasets.
- Best for
- Dataset depth. On congressional trading specifically, Quiver goes far past what Stockplus shows: backtesting, per-politician pages, lobbying and contract data alongside. If alternative data is the reason you are here, they are the specialist.
- Free tier
- Yes, limited dataset access
- Paid from
- API from $30/mo, or $25/mo billed annually, as of August 2026; the web Premium price is behind a registration wall
Options-flow and market-data platform
Unusual Whales
An options-flow platform for active traders: live full-tape flow, dark pool prints, gamma exposure and screeners, with politician trade data included on the retail dashboard plans.
- Best for
- Being a real trading platform, which Stockplus is not. Real-time options flow across every US exchange, dark pool data, gamma exposure heatmaps, an API with REST, WebSocket and MCP access, prediction-market data, and the largest community in this category. On breadth of datasets it beats Stockplus outright, and on options specifically nothing here is close.
- Free tier
- Yes, limited data on a 15-minute delay
- Paid from
- Retail Basic $50/mo, Retail Pro $75/mo, Retail Max $120/mo billed monthly, as of August 2026
Congress and insider trade tracking app
StockInsider
An App Store congress-and-insider tracker that bundles congressional disclosures, 13F holdings and Form 4 filings with AI features on top, sold through in-app purchases.
- Best for
- Volume of smart-money surfaces in one app. Congressional trades, 13F institutional holdings, corporate Form 4 filings, an AI "Policy Pulse" feed of tariff and sanction events, a Bull and Bear case view, 35 backtested strategies and an AI screener all sit in the same product. Nothing here matches that count, and the App Store rating is a genuine 4.6 from 76 ratings.
- Free tier
- Yes, free to download with in-app purchases
- Paid from
- In-app purchases $12.99–$16.99/mo, a Pro Monthly at $24.99/mo, and $99.99–$199.99 annually, 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, with 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
Stock screener and market visualisation
Finviz
A long-running web stock screener, best known for its market heat map, with charts, an insider-trading screen and an earnings calendar alongside.
- Best for
- Screening, and the heat map. Finviz is the screener most people in this market picture when they hear the word, it is fast, and a great deal of it is usable free in a browser without an account. Stockplus has no screener that competes.
- Free tier
- Yes, much of the site, with delayed data
- Paid from
- Elite $39.50/mo, or $299.50/yr ($24.96/mo), as of August 2026

Questions people ask
What is the best TraderCongress alternative with no data delay?
Capitol Trades and GovTrades both publish congressional disclosures free and undelayed, as websites. Stockplus keeps the feed undelayed on its free tier and pushes it to iOS and Android. Quiver Quantitative is the deeper research option if delay was not the issue.
Is there a cheaper TraderCongress alternative?
GovTrades and Capitol Trades cost nothing, and Capitol Trades Tracker is a free Android app. Stockplus Pro is $3.99/mo, which buys prices, alerts and a morning briefing alongside the congressional feed rather than contracts and lobbying data.
Which alternative covers government contracts too?
Quiver Quantitative is the main one, with lobbying and government-contract datasets beside the trades. Most congress trackers, Stockplus included, stop at the STOCK Act disclosures.
