Switching off FiscalNote? It's easier than you think.
This is what USLege does that FiscalNote does not.
You already know the frustrations, alerts that lag, search that misses what you actually need, and a platform that feels like it was built for a different era. USLege gives you true 50-state plus federal coverage, live searchable hearing video across the vast majority of states, full transcripts, and an AI-native foundation built from day one, so what you get back is your time.
In January 2026, FiscalNote announced it had completed customer migration from the legacy FiscalNote platform onto PolicyNote, its own rebranded product. Whichever name is on your invoice, this page is for you.
FiscalNote became PolicyNote.
FiscalNote unveiled PolicyNote as its AI policy intelligence product, and in January 2026 announced it had completed customer migration from the legacy FiscalNote platform onto PolicyNote. If your team was moved from FiscalNote to PolicyNote as part of that transition, or you're still deciding whether to make the switch, this page is written for exactly that situation.
Is FiscalNote financially stable right now?
FiscalNote was delisted from the NYSE in April 2026, after its stock fell below the exchange's minimum price requirement, and now trades over the counter. That delisting triggered a default on the company's subordinated notes. FiscalNote has been in forbearance with its creditors since, an agreement extended multiple times as of this writing. In March 2026 the company announced an "organizational transformation," including a roughly 25% workforce reduction and a corresponding cut to cash operating costs. These facts come from FiscalNote's own public SEC filings and press releases, not our characterization of them.

Where USLege and FiscalNote differ
| Capability | USLege | FiscalNote |
|---|---|---|
| AI foundation | AI-native since 2023, built around your workflow from day one | AI features layered onto a public-affairs platform that predates generative AI |
| Live hearing video | Live, searchable hearing video across the vast majority of states, tied to the bill and the exact moment it's discussed | No live hearing video |
| Hearing transcripts | Full transcripts across 50 states plus federal, searchable to the sentence, synced to the video | Document and alert coverage; no hearing transcripts tied to video |
| Government archive | The largest transcribed government video archive in the world, plus 1.4M+ indexed bills | No comparable video archive |
| Pace of development | Constant development. Ships weekly. Customer feedback acted on in real time | Release cadence follows standard enterprise roadmap cycles; not publicly disclosed |
| Support | Your own AI account manager to help build agents for you | Standard enterprise support tiers |
| Vendor stability | Privately held and founder-led, with no public debt covenants | Delisted from the NYSE in April 2026 and now trading over the counter; the delisting triggered a default on subordinated debt, leading to creditor forbearance; announced a roughly 25% workforce reduction in March 2026 (per FiscalNote's public SEC filings) |
We had the broad coverage FiscalNote is known for, but the tool did not move at our pace. With USLege the video is right there next to the bill, it answers questions from live data, and it keeps shipping. It de-risked our whole stack.
