OpenInsider Review, Pricing, and Features
OpenInsider is a free, utilitarian SEC Form 4 insider-trading screener for investors who want to monitor insider buying, insider selling, cluster buys, and transaction reports without paying for a data terminal. It is useful for fast first-pass insider activity research, but the interface is table-heavy and there is no formal paid support, SLA, mobile app, or documented public API.

Key features
- Screening for real-time SEC Form 4 insider purchases and sales using data sourced from sec.gov.
- Prebuilt report pages such as Latest Insider Purchases to start from high-signal insider buying activity.

- Drill into ticker, insider, and industry pages to review related filings and transaction history.

- Flags and legends for context such as amended filings, derivative transactions, officer/director roles, and other transaction annotations.
- Export support for some result pages to CSV through page-level download links or `csv=1` query parameters.
- OpenInsider serves as a free baseline for insider buying, insider selling, and cluster-buy monitoring before comparing paid insider-data tools.
- U.S. SEC Form 4 scope rather than global director-dealing coverage, broad ownership analytics, or institutional-grade data licensing.
- A practical but rough web interface with no published watchlist product, mobile app, commercial SLA, or official API.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
