POLITICO Pro covers the news. Legis1 covers what's behind it.

POLITICO Pro is a respected policy newsroom. Legis1 is a congressional data platform. If you need the witness history, lobbying records, and staff networks that don't appear in news coverage, Legis1 is where that data lives.

Congressional Data vs. News Coverage

POLITICO Pro is built around a newsroom: nonpartisan policy coverage across 22 areas. Bill tracking and staff directories are secondary. The congressional data layer (witness history, structured lobbying records, staff network mapping) doesn't appear in news coverage.

With Legis1, you get:

✓30,000+ hearings with searchable witness records spanning 20+ years
✓810,000+ lobbying disclosures queryable by issue, office, and organization
✓140,000+ lawmaker, staff, and lobbyist profiles with relationship mapping

Transparent Pricing, No Demo Required

POLITICO Pro requires a sales conversation before pricing is disclosed. Enterprise bundling across 22 policy area modules makes the cost of the specific data you need difficult to predict without a procurement process.

With Legis1, you get:

✓Clear, upfront monthly pricing with annual pricing discounts
✓No demo required to understand what you'll pay

Drafter's Desk

POLITICO Pro does not offer a legislative drafting workspace. Lobbyists and Hill staff who draft legislation alongside their research have no equivalent inside POLITICO Pro. They work across disconnected tools.

With Legis1, you get:

✓Draft bill language inside the same platform as your research
✓Track language alongside lobbying disclosures and hearing records
✓Unique to Legis1. No equivalent on any competing platform.
