A Modern Public Affairs Platform Should Work the Way Your Team Does
In public-affairs software, there’s Quorum — the proven, unified, AI-powered platform trusted by more than 1,800 top public-affairs teams and supporting over 50 percent of Fortune 100 corporations — and then there are tools still trying to catch up.
Your software should be a force multiplier, not a source of frustration or silos. It should connect all the pieces of your work — policy tracking, stakeholder engagement, advocacy, and PAC management — into one clear picture.
That’s where the difference between Quorum and FiscalNote becomes clear. While FiscalNote rebuilds its legacy systems under a new name, Quorum continues to deliver a stable, intelligent, all-in-one platform built for performance today and innovation tomorrow.
Some vendors are only beginning to connect their tools to surface partial views of advocacy and policy data. Quorum was built for full unification from day one — not integration by afterthought.
FiscalNote is rebuilding its platform. Quorum is refining one that already works.
FiscalNote’s repositioning as PolicyNote represents a rebuild effort designed to force-fit several older, separate tools under an umbrella of basic AI capabilities. While that process plays out, users navigate migrations, missing features, and ongoing product disruptions.
Meanwhile, Quorum delivers a unified platform that seamlessly connects the most advanced AI-driven legislative-tracking technology on the market, stakeholder engagement, grassroots advocacy, and PAC management — all in one place, with one login.

1. A Platform Built for How Public Affairs Works Today
With Quorum, every function of your government affairs operation — legislative tracking, stakeholder engagement, grassroots advocacy, and PAC management — is integrated. Users can identify a bill, see which lawmakers it affects, and launch an advocacy campaign in one workflow.
FiscalNote, by contrast, has disparate systems that were acquired separately. Even under PolicyNote, its core advocacy tools remain outside the main product, meaning users have to switch between logins and interfaces.
That difference isn’t just technical — it’s operational. Quorum’s single-platform design helps teams save time, reduce friction, and deliver results faster.
2. Proven Stability, Not a Platform in Transition
FiscalNote’s customers have been complaining that they are being forced to migrate to PolicyNote, as they’re rebuilding the product. They have reported experiencing slow innovation, significant functionality gaps, and retraining and data migration burdens.
Quorum, meanwhile, was built thoughtfully and strategically from the beginning, layering on capabilities and enhancing existing workflows with advancing technology. Its data infrastructure, integrations, and API ecosystem have been stable and expanding for over a decade. While FiscalNote is catching up to 2023 functionality, Quorum continues to advance — releasing new AI capabilities and workflow automation that push the industry forward.
3. Purpose-Built AI That Multiplies Your Impact
Quorum Intelligence is deeply embedded into the platform — powering everything from automated personalized bill summaries to stakeholder outreach and grassroots campaign optimization. It’s trained on 10+ years of Quorum’s proprietary legislative data, making its insights uniquely reliable and domain-specific.
Meanwhile, FiscalNote’s AI relies on generic GPT integrations for summarization and text generation — a flashy but surface-level capability that lacks workflow integration and domain accuracy.
The difference: Quorum’s AI is designed for government affairs, not retrofitted onto it.
4. Grassroots Advocacy That’s Truly Connected
Quorum Grassroots gives advocacy teams everything they need in one place — campaign creation, supporter engagement, and performance tracking, all unified with policy and stakeholder data. Users can identify a bill, segment lawmakers by role, and launch personalized campaigns within minutes, without ever leaving the platform. Campaigns are faster to launch, easier to personalize, and directly tied to legislative outcomes. Interactive Campaigns, video messaging, and AI-generated outreach help organizations scale authentic engagement across every channel — while all results flow back into one unified workspace.
By contrast, FiscalNote’s VoterVoice operates as a separate tool. Even with recent updates that allow users to view advocacy data inside PolicyNote, campaign creation and reporting still happen elsewhere. Teams must navigate between two systems, slowing response time and fragmenting insights.
The result: Quorum empowers advocacy teams to act in real time, not wait on integrations. It’s true unification, not connection by workaround.
5. The Human Factor: Support You Can Count On
Customers consistently rate Quorum’s support higher than FiscalNote’s. With dedicated onboarding, tailored training, and responsive customer success teams, Quorum’s 8.5/10 support rating reflects a culture of partnership.
FiscalNote’s 6.7/10 support rating and user reports of delayed help and added fees tell a different story. And while FiscalNote navigates leadership transitions and financial instability, Quorum remains a privately held, profitable company focused squarely on serving its customers.
The Takeaway: Built for Today, Ready for Tomorrow
