Frequently asked questions
- What tools does Pachand compare against?
- Pachand comparisons cover FEC Notify (official filing alerts), OpenSecrets and FEC.gov (free public research), ISPolitical (compliance CRM), and NGP VAN (campaign CRM and compliance). Each page explains a different job — not a single replacement for every tool.
- Does Pachand replace compliance software like ISPolitical or NGP VAN?
- No. Pachand does not prepare FEC reports or manage your committee's donor CRM. It monitors public filings for committees on your watchlist and turns them into alerts, maps, and cash scoreboards — alongside compliance software, not instead of it.
- Should campaigns still use free FEC tools?
- Yes. FEC Notify, FEC.gov, and OpenSecrets are valuable free resources. Pachand layers operative workflows — watchlist alerts, Slack delivery, aggregate ZIP maps, and scoreboards — on the same public FEC data.
