FiscalNote

FiscalNote operates as a group of established brands rather than a single product, and knowing which brand does what is the key to evaluating it. PolicyNote is the AI-powered platform for tracking and shaping policy. VoterVoice is the digital advocacy tool, described by the vendor as the leading one in its field. CQ provides congressional news and analysis, a name long familiar to anyone working on Capitol Hill. An organisation may end up buying one of these without needing the others.

PolicyNote comes in three forms serving different needs. The core platform covers policy tracking and influence. PolicyNote+ adds professional services for organisations without the internal bandwidth to monitor policy themselves, which is a realistic option for a small nonprofit. PolicyNote API delivers policy intelligence into your own tools, suiting organisations that want the data inside existing systems rather than in another dashboard.

Three capabilities stand out across the portfolio. Social listening monitors mentions of your issues and your organisation on social media, connecting public conversation to policy work. Transcripts from Capitol Hill and the White House are available within 60 minutes, which is fast enough to act on what was said the same day rather than reading it the following week. Stakeholder management focuses on influencing the right people at the right moments. Solutions span grassroots advocacy, global policy tracking, federal and state legislative tracking, US local policy tracking, congressional news and analysis, constituent management and marketplace intelligence. Local policy coverage is comparatively rare and valuable, since municipal decisions are the hardest tier to monitor systematically. Pricing is not published and evaluation begins with a scheduled demo.
