Pachand vs FEC Notify

FEC Notify is the commission's free email alert when watched committees file. Pachand runs on the same public data — and adds operative-grade summaries, Slack, heatmaps, and a command desk.

We recommend every campaign sign up for FEC Notify — it is free and authoritative. Pachand is for teams that need more than a filing receipt: financial context, team channels, and aggregate donor geography in one place.
