Statute Scope vs LegiScan
LegiScan is a low-cost bill tracking and data service: a free public tracker, paid GAITS research and monitoring accounts priced by the number of states, and an API for developers. Statute Scope sends you an alert and a brief built from the text when a matching bill or proposed federal rule is filed, and one subscription covers your whole team.
From $150 a month · your whole team, no per-seat fees · cancel any time
Side by side
| Feature | Statute Scope | LegiScan |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Not described on the price list; tracking and research tools you run yourself |
| Coverage | All 50 state legislatures, the DC Council, Congress and proposed federal rules on regulations.gov | State legislatures and Congress, priced by the number of states ("Congress is considered a single state for pricing") |
| 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 | Published: OneVote is free; OneVote+ from $25 a year for one state to $1,000 for 50+; GAITS Pro from $100 a year for one state to $3,000 for 50+ |
| Who can use it | One subscription covers everyone on your work email domain; no per-seat fees | GAITS Pro "includes one user seat; additional seats $100 per user per year", less at 15 and 45+ seats |
| 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) | Not stated on the price list; it sells a one-time AI text training snapshot of its data |
| Contract | Monthly or yearly; cancel any time | Annual fees, with multi-year discounts; subscriptions expire in January |
| Nonprofit pricing | Nonprofit and solidarity rates | Qualifying 501(c) groups get GAITS Pro at the OneVote+ price (one subscription per organization) |
