Statute Scope vs FiscalNote
FiscalNote's PolicyNote is a full government-affairs platform with AI analysis, bill forecasts, CQ news and global coverage. Statute Scope does one job: it tells you, fast, when a bill or proposed federal rule that matters to you is filed, with a brief built from the text.

Side by side
| Feature | Statute Scope | FiscalNote |
|---|---|---|
| What an alert gives you | A one-page brief, bottom line first: what the bill is and where it stands, how it works, which of your concerns it touches, who it could affect and who to contact. Built by our own rules from the text, not AI, so the same bill always gives the same brief | Features like "alert overviews, bill summaries, and curation", with an AI Assistant and AI impact analysis |
| Coverage | All 50 state legislatures, the DC Council, Congress and proposed federal rules on regulations.gov | U.S. state, federal and global policy, with local tracking, EU monitoring and "100+ countries" offered as packages |
| Price | Published: Watch $150, Bureau $200 and Desk $325 and Agency (unlimited criteria) $650 a month, or ten times that a year; 14 days free by card | Not published; the site offers "Get Pricing" and "Book a Demo" |
| Who can use it | One subscription covers everyone on your work email domain; no per-seat fees | Not published on the pages we read |
| AI | No AI writes your briefs or summaries: each brief is built by fixed rules from the bill's own text, so it can be audited, and staff summaries, an add-on on any plan, are written by people (on any plan, $125 a month for each summary a month, 1 to 5) | AI-driven: an AI Assistant, AI impact analysis and bill forecasts |
| Contract | Monthly or yearly; cancel any time | Not published on the pages we read |
| Nonprofit pricing | Nonprofit and solidarity rates | Not published on the pages we read |
