Competitors

  • Bloomberg Government (BGOV)

    Subscription policy/legislative intelligence platform from Bloomberg L.P. focused on U.S. federal government news, bill tracking, lobbying, and analytics; a primary head-to-head competitor with FiscalNote's CQ Roll Call and core policy products.

  • Quorum

    Public affairs and stakeholder-engagement SaaS for legislative tracking, grassroots advocacy, and PAC/lobbying workflows; widely cited as FiscalNote's most direct public-affairs-software rival.

  • Thomson Reuters

  • LegiStorm

    Congressional and state lobbying intelligence platform combining staff/contact directories, lobbying disclosures, and bill tracking; positioned as a lower-cost U.S.-focused alternative to FiscalNote and BGOV.

  • Plural Policy (formerly OpenStates/Phone2Action lineage)

    Modern legislative tracking and advocacy platform with strong state-level coverage; an emerging competitor in the public affairs SaaS category.

  • POLITICO Pro

FiscalNote Investment FAQ

FiscalNote FAQ

FiscalNote went public on July 29, 2022 through its merger with Duddell Street Acquisition Corp. at a pro forma equity value of about $1.3B and listed on the NYSE as NOTE. The NYSE suspended trading on March 25, 2026 and delisted the stock on April 13, 2026; shares now trade over the counter as NOTE and the company remains SEC-reporting. The delisting triggered defaults on its subordinated convertible notes, held under forbearance agreements through August 22, 2026, and its Q2 2026 10-Q reports substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern while it sells non-core assets (FrontierView, August 2026) and negotiates with lenders.
