Comparison
Both touch regulations.gov comments. The difference is what they're built around — a per-docket feed inside a legislative suite, versus a tool organized around comment intelligence.
FiscalNote is a capable legislative-first suite: bill tracking, policy news, and stakeholder data, with regulations.gov comments surfaced as a per-docket feed. OpenPolis starts from the comment record and resolves it into organization footprints, co-filer networks, and deadline intelligence. If comments are a nice-to-have for you, FiscalNote's breadth may win. If comments are the job, OpenPolis fits the shape of the work.
| OpenPolis | FiscalNote | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary object | Federal public comments — entity-resolved org footprints | Legislation and policy news; comments are a per-docket feed |
| Co-filer / coalition maps | Built-in, with ally-opposition tagging | Not the focus of the product |
| Org-level comment history | Resolved across aliases, dockets, and agencies | Available per docket, not rolled up per organization |
| Pricing | Published: free tier to from $9,500/yr | Quote-only; ~$24,000/yr (median observed) (Vendr median $24,226/yr (quote-only vendor)) |
| Self-serve | Claim a profile free; self-serve checkout on lower tiers | Sales-led |
OpenPolis publishes its pricing; FiscalNote is quote-only, with third-party data (Vendr) putting the median contract around $24,000/yr. On stability, we point only to public filings: FiscalNote has reported Q1 2026 revenue of $20.0M, down 27.2% year over year and ARR of $75.7M, down from $107.5M at year-end 2024. We think the honest move is to publish our pricing and let the comparison stand on fit.
