LobbyScape vs StateNet
A Florida-deep alternative to
StateNet
StateNet (LexisNexis) is the enterprise standard for all-50-states bill tracking. For Florida-focused work, you want a tool built for Florida, not a 50-state data feed.
The honest TL;DR
StateNet is a data feed. LobbyScape is a workflow.
StateNet is excellent at one thing: comprehensive, structured legislative data across all 50 states, sold to enterprises that need that breadth for compliance or multi-state advocacy. The data is solid. The workflow on top of it is enterprise-software-flavored.
For a Florida lobbyist or a Florida-based GR team, StateNet is overkill on coverage and underdone on Florida-specific workflow. No hearing transcripts. No FL Channel video integration. No conference offer/counteroffer trail. No GAA proviso parsing. No principal-aware client portfolios. LobbyScape gives you all of those for Florida at a price you can put on a credit card.

Why Florida-focused teams pick us
When the data feed isn't enough
Workflow, not raw data
StateNet gives you data. LobbyScape gives you a workflow built around how Florida lobbying actually happens: alerts when your bill moves, transcripts when your topic is mentioned, dashboards your clients can see, the conference offer trail you can't get anywhere else. We tell you what to do next, not just what happened.
Florida transcripts and budget depth
No 50-state platform — including StateNet — transcribes Florida committee hearings with click-to-video integration. No 50-state platform parses the FL GAA proviso by proviso. No 50-state platform exposes the conference chair-to-chair offer trail. We do all three because we built LobbyScape for Florida, not for breadth.
Built for working lobbyists, not legal compliance teams
StateNet's sweet spot is the enterprise compliance officer tracking activity across all 50 states. LobbyScape's sweet spot is the FL lobbyist running between hearings, returning client calls, and pulling proviso text on the fly. Native mobile, push alerts, principal-aware client portfolios, read-only client share-links.

Common questions
If you're evaluating StateNet
We need 50-state coverage for compliance. Is LobbyScape a replacement?
For compliance reporting across many states, no — StateNet is built for that and you should keep it. But for the Florida portion of your portfolio, LobbyScape gives you depth and workflow that StateNet doesn't. Many of our customers run both, and the Florida-side spend is small relative to the time saved.
What's included in your published pricing?
Every feature: bills, committees, transcripts, video jumps, the full budget pipeline, proviso analysis, LobbyScape Intelligence, real-time alerts on every channel, mobile apps, watchlists, Teams, Clients (client portfolios + portals), white-glove onboarding, and direct access to the product team. No upsells, no locked features. The price you see is the price you pay.
Can we migrate watchlists from StateNet?
Yes — we map your existing watchlists, saved searches, and alert rules during a one-hour onboarding session and you're live the same day. We'll also import any client/principal notes if you can export them.
