OpenInsider Review, Pricing, and Features
OpenInsider
OpenInsider is a free SEC Form 4 screener for insider buying, selling, cluster buys, and transaction reports. It is useful for quick table-based research, but there is no formal support SLA, mobile app, or documented public API.
Best for
- Investors who want a free Form 4 transaction screen before paying for an insider-data service.
- Investors researching insider buying, insider selling, cluster buys, and Form 4 filings.
- Power users who can work with table filters and occasional CSV downloads instead of polished portfolio alerts.
Watch out
- The site is table-heavy and has no mobile app, watchlist, or guided workflow.
- Coverage centers on SEC Form 4 insider filings and does not solve global director-dealing coverage.

- OpenInsider is a free baseline for insider buying, insider selling, and cluster-buy monitoring before comparing paid insider-data tools.
