The whole map, not just the Hill

State plus federal in one platform

Bloomberg Government was built federal-first, and its state coverage is a newer addition to that core product. If your team only watches Congress, that may be enough. If your team also watches state legislatures, USLege covers all 50 states plus federal in one platform, at the same depth everywhere.

Live, not filed later

Live while it's happening, not after

Bloomberg Government reports the news and files transcripts of congressional hearings after the fact. Those transcripts are federal-only and arrive once the hearing is over. USLege transcribes hearings live, as they happen, across all 50 states and federal, searchable to the sentence in real time, with live searchable hearing video tied directly to the bill.

We started in the states

Every state is its own country

Built by a founder who worked in DC and in the states. Washington is one building. Every state is its own country, its own calendar, its own committee rules. USLege was built state by state first, with federal layered on top. USLege is a government affairs suite, legislative hearing intelligence, bill tracking, and the surrounding workflow, built for 19 different types of teams.

Built to keep building

Constant development, shipped weekly

USLege has been AI-native since 2023, backed by the largest government archive in the world, including video. Bloomberg Government's release cadence is not publicly disclosed. USLege is in constant development: shipped weekly, driven by what partners ask for.

Pricing without the guesswork

Published pricing, no quote process

Bloomberg Government is quote-only. It is expensive. USLege publishes its pricing, and it is typically cheaper than a Bloomberg Government seat.

Common questions

Switching from Bloomberg Government

Is USLege a real alternative to Bloomberg Government? +
Bloomberg Government is a federal-first platform built around news and documents. If your team only watches Congress, that may be enough. Teams that also track the states switch to USLege for true 50-state depth alongside federal, live searchable hearing video, AI-native search, and a dedicated AI account manager.
How does USLege pricing compare to Bloomberg Government? +
USLege pricing is transparent and published. Bloomberg Government is quote-only and expensive.
What can USLege do that Bloomberg Government does not? +
All 50 states plus federal in one platform, not a federal product with a newer state add-on. Live searchable hearing video, tied to the bill and jumpable to the moment. Live transcripts across all 50 states plus federal, delivered as the hearing happens. And the ability to put USLege inside the AI you already use, so answers come straight from the full live legislative dataset.
What about Bloomberg Government's federal coverage? +
USLege covers Congress too. Federal bills, hearings, and searchable transcripts, delivered together with true 50-state coverage, live hearing video, and AI-native search, all in one platform at a transparent price. If you are locked into a contract, USLege buys out the remainder.
