When to choose Disclosed Capitol

You want to build with the data — there's a clean REST API with a free tier (/developers).
You want AI-assisted analysis on top of the raw filings — Chad answers questions like “which committee chairs are buying defense names this quarter?” directly.
You want committee-level views, not just individual member pages — every committee (House Armed Services, Senate Banking, etc.) has its own aggregated portfolio.
You want performance metrics (CAGR, alpha vs. the S&P 500, win rate) computed per-member, not just trade lists.

When Capitol Trades might fit

Capitol Trades has been around longer and is a fine option if you only need the trade-feed view and don't care about API access, AI analysis, or aggregated committee portfolios. Both surfaces are pulling from the same primary STOCK Act filings, so the underlying data is the same — the differentiation is in what each platform layers on top.
