FOIAsearch Review, Pricing, and Features
FOIAsearch is a free SEC FOIA log search and alert product for investors, journalists, short sellers, and investor-relations teams watching for regulatory or reporter attention around public companies. It is strongest as an early-warning research signal: SEC FOIA requests, B7A exemption denials, portfolio alerts, IR Watch, and prominent-reporter alerts can prompt deeper due diligence before a story or enforcement signal becomes widely visible. The output is indirect evidence, not proof of wrongdoing, and paid alert pricing is not publicly listed.
Best for
- Investors, journalists, and IR teams who want to monitor SEC FOIA log activity, B7A exemptions, and requests around portfolio companies or issuers.
- Researchers tracking investigations, FOIA requests, short sellers, reporters, or hedge fund inquiries as risk signals.
- Users who need an early-warning prompt to investigate regulatory risk, short reports, or journalistic attention before it becomes widely covered news.
Watch out
- A FOIA request or B7A exemption can point to risk, but it is not proof of wrongdoing and must be verified with primary documents and company context.
- Search is free, but portfolio alerts, IR Watch, and reporter alerts are referenced without a public price list.
