Tracefour Review, Pricing, and Features
Tracefour
Tracefour provides free insider-trade heatmaps, filing email alerts, and a read-only API covering U.S. filings, selected European director dealings, and U.S. Congress disclosures.
Best for
- Investors who want a free heatmap for US insider filings, four European registers, and US Congress trades.
- OpenInsider users who also need director-dealing coverage outside US Form 4 filings.
- Research workflows that use cluster and freshness tags to prioritize which insider trades deserve source-filing verification.
Watch out
- The API allows 60 requests per hour per IP without a key, or 600 per hour with a free API key. Static JSON exports cover trackers and Congress members.
- The API documentation licenses the Tracefour compilation under CC BY 4.0 and requires attribution. It says upstream publication terms for European filings have not been verified.

Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
