How does OQRO compare with Capitol Trades?

Information as of 2 November 2026. If anything here is out of date, tell us at contact@oqro.io and we will correct it.

How was this comparison made?

We make OQRO, so read this page with that in mind. Every statement about Capitol Trades comes from its home page, opened in a browser on 2 November 2026; the site refused our automated requests, so nothing here was collected by a script. We did not create an account there, did not open every page of the site, and did not test the accuracy or speed of either product. Statements about OQRO describe OQRO on the same day.

What does each one show?

Both read the same public reports, the periodic transaction reports that members of the House and Senate file, and both keep the amount as the range the member filed rather than a single estimate. The differences are in what surrounds the trades.

Is Capitol Trades free?

Its home page says it offers a free service and shows no price or plan, as of 2 November 2026. OQRO is free too: every Congress trade since January 2021, each member's and each company's page and the page of each disclosure are open, with no card. Only its AI features (OQRO Pro) are paid. The reports themselves are free on the House Clerk's site and the Senate's disclosure site, for anyone who prefers the filings.

How far back does each one go?

Capitol Trades' home page carries a note that the historical data available on its website is limited to the past three years. OQRO holds the House and Senate reports filed since January 2021, close to six years on the day this was written, and its yearly Congress figures start in 2021. For older reports, the official sites are the place to look.

What does OQRO add beside Congress trades?

A company's page in OQRO shows the trades members reported next to what its own officers and directors filed on SEC Form 4, the holdings large funds reported on Form 13F, 5% stakes and the federal contracts it won, each line linked to the official document. Each insider purchase is compared with the company's own record of open-market trades since 2006, so a first purchase in years stands out. Capitol Trades' home page covers politicians and the companies they trade; we did not see insider or fund filings on it.

Which one fits which reader?

For a free view of who in Congress traded what recently, with party and state on every row, Capitol Trades' home page shows it. For more than three years of reports, or a member's trade read next to the company's insider and fund filings, OQRO is built for that, at a price. Either way the official report is the authority, and checking a line there takes a minute.

What this does not tell you

This page compares what Capitol Trades' home page says with what OQRO offers. It does not measure which one lists a new report first, which has fewer errors, or how each matches a report's asset to a company. Capitol Trades may offer things on pages we did not open. A Congress trade is a disclosure, not an allegation, and neither product can show a trade before the member files the report, which the STOCK Act allows up to 45 days after the trade.
