Which Congress stock tracker should you use?
By Konstantine Gugunava and Lucas Gvetadze, founders of OQRO. Published . Updated . 4 min read. Last reviewed .

The short answer
It depends on what you need. Quiver Quantitative lists Congress trades beside many other datasets and has a free tier; Capitol Trades shows the latest trades on its home page; Unusual Whales adds them to an options-flow platform; OQRO puts them next to insider, fund and contract filings, each linked to the official report. We make OQRO.
How was this comparison made?
We make OQRO, so this page is written by one of the products it compares. To keep it checkable, every statement about another product comes from that product's own page, opened in a browser on 2 November 2026 and listed under Sources, and the figures about Congress trades come from the official reports as OQRO reads them. We did not subscribe to any paid plan and did not test anyone's accuracy. Prices change and pages are rewritten, so check each linked page before you pay.
The trackers side by side
| Tracker | What its own page shows about Congress trades | Price it lists on 2 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Quiver Quantitative | Its Congress dashboard says it downloads the House and Senate disclosures and parses them for stock trades, and it shows an estimated excess return since each transaction. Its home page lists live data on Congress trading, insider trading, government contracts and corporate lobbying in the free plan, among many other datasets. | A free "Visitor" plan. A Premium plan shown at $25.00 a month, with a $300 yearly billing option. |
| Capitol Trades | Its home page lists the latest trades with the member, party, chamber, state and the amount range as filed. | No price on its home page. |
| Unusual Whales | Its pricing page lists "Politician Trade Information" under its Retail plans, beside options flow and dark pool data. | A free plan with "the whole platform delayed 2 trading days". Retail Basic $50, Retail Pro $75 and Retail Max $120 a month. |
| OQRO | House and Senate periodic transaction reports filed since January 2021, each row linked to the official report, the amount kept as the filed range. A company's page also shows its insider trades (Form 4), fund holdings (13F), 5% stakes and federal contracts. The latest trades and a page for each disclosure are open without an account. | Free, with no card. Only the AI features (OQRO Pro) are paid: $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, with no trial. |
| House Clerk and Senate eFD | The reports themselves, as each member filed them, with a search on each site. | Free. |
Which tracker fits which need?
It depends on the job, and each product answers a different one. To see who traded what this week, the Capitol Trades home page lists the latest filings, and OQRO's politician trades page shows them without an account. To work with Congress data next to many unrelated datasets, such as lobbying, patents or app ratings, Quiver lists them on one platform. To follow options flow and politicians' trades together, Unusual Whales is built around options flow. To read a member's trade next to what the company's own insiders and the large funds filed, with each line linked to its filing, that is the job OQRO is built for. To check a single line, open the official report: every tracker, OQRO included, is a copy of it.
How soon does a tracker show a trade?
Only after the member files the report, so every tracker is late by the same rule. The STOCK Act allows up to 45 days after the trade. In OQRO's count of the reports, the typical stock trade reported in 2025 was filed 28 days after it was made, and 13% were filed after the 45-day limit; the typical delay has stayed between 26 and 31 days in every year since 2021 (the yearly figures). A tracker then adds its own delay between the filing and the moment the trade appears on its site, so ask each one how long that takes.
Are Congress stock trackers free?
The sources are. The House Clerk's financial disclosure page and the Senate's electronic disclosure site publish every report at no cost, without an account. Among the trackers, Quiver lists a free Visitor plan, Unusual Whales a free plan delayed by two trading days, and Capitol Trades shows no price on its home page. OQRO is free as well, with no card: every trade, member and company page is open to everyone, and only its AI features (OQRO Pro, $9.99 a month) are paid.
What this does not tell you
This page compares what each product says about itself. It does not measure how accurate its data is, how quickly it lists a new report, or whether its extra figures, such as estimated returns, are computed well. Any tracker can misread a report, scanned paper filings above all, so the filing remains the authority. A Congress trade is a disclosure, not an allegation, and a list of trades says nothing about why a member traded or whether copying them would have paid: reports arrive weeks late and amounts are ranges. Phone apps that follow Congress trades exist too; they are left out because we did not read their store listings. To read a report yourself, see how to track Congress stock trades; for insider and fund data as well, see the wider comparison of disclosure trackers.
