AI-native · live hearing video · transparent $250 / $499 · no multi-year lock-in · SOC 2
State Net is the incumbent enterprise system of record: deep legislation and regulation coverage across 50 states and Congress, with genuinely strong forecasting. USLege is the modern, AI-native alternative built for how teams work now: live searchable hearing video across the vast majority of states tied to the bill, full transcripts, transparent pricing on the page, and no multi-year lock-in.
A factual comparison of where the two platforms land today. State Net has real depth in regulatory tracking and forecasting; the differences below are the ones teams tell us decide the switch.
| Capability | USLege | LexisNexis State Net |
|---|---|---|
| AI foundation | AI-native from day one, so you can ask questions in plain language and put USLege inside the AI you already use | A legacy enterprise compliance database with AI added on top |
| Live hearing video | Live searchable hearing video across the vast majority of states, tied to the bill and jumpable to the moment a member speaks | No live hearing video |
| Transcripts | Full hearing transcripts across 50 states plus federal, searchable to the sentence and linked to the bill | Document and bill text without hearing transcripts tied to video |
| Regulatory tracking and forecasting | Live legislative and regulatory data with AI answers; forecasting on the roadmap | Deep, mature regulatory tracking with a genuine forecasting and bill-timeline strength |
| Pricing | Transparent and published: $250/mo for one state, $499/mo for all states | Opaque, quote-only enterprise pricing with no public rates |
| Contract terms | No multi-year lock-in, with easy on and off ramps | Multi-year enterprise contracts |
| Platform and service | Modern, fast-shipping UI, founder-led and SOC 2, with a dedicated account manager and unlimited training | Legacy enterprise UX with standard enterprise support tiers |
State Net is a mature enterprise system of record, and its AI sits on top of a legacy compliance database. USLege was built AI-native from day one, so you can ask about bills, hearings, and sponsors in plain language and get answers from live legislative and regulatory data. You can also put USLege inside the AI you already use, so the intelligence comes to your workflow instead of forcing you into a separate legacy console.
State Net gives you bill text, regulatory documents, and forecasting across broad coverage. USLege adds what it does not have: live searchable hearing video across the vast majority of states, linked to the bill and jumpable to the exact moment a member speaks, with full transcripts across 50 states plus federal. You watch the testimony instead of reconstructing it from documents after the fact.
State Net is quote-only enterprise pricing on multi-year contracts, so you negotiate before you ever see a number and commit for years. USLege is $250 a month for a single state and $499 a month for all states, published on the page, with no multi-year lock-in and easy on and off ramps. USLege is founder-led and SOC 2, with a dedicated account manager and unlimited training, so switching is a low-risk decision.
State Net had the regulatory depth and the forecasting, but we were locked into a multi-year contract we could never see a straight price on, and there was no way to actually watch a hearing. With USLege the video is right next to the bill, we ask questions in plain language, the price is on the page, and we are not tied down for years.
Watch live hearing video next to the bill, ask questions from live legislative and regulatory data, and read your price off the page, with no multi-year lock-in. If you are still under contract with State Net, ask about the contract buyout.
