Why Pro costs $25
The filings are public. You can search them free on the FCC database or fccid.io, and the big Apple and Samsung leaks get covered free by gadget blogs. Here is what that costs you instead:
- DIY (free): around 100 new filings every weekday, raw. No alerts, no plain-English decoding, no watchlist. You check every day or you miss things. The blogs will not cover your niche.
- FCC Wire Pro ($25/mo): every filing decoded each morning, email alerts the same day a company you track files, exhibit links on every alert, and a Friday deep-dive on the filing that matters most. 83 cents a day to never check the database yourself.
- Enterprise regulatory intel ($15,000+/yr): FiscalNote, Bloomberg Law, patent tools. Built for lawyers and lobbyists, tracking dockets and patents, not unreleased hardware. No seat exists for what you want at any price.
Pro is the only step between doing it yourself and not doing it at all.
Paid starts immediately, cancel anytime by replying to any email. A 7-day free trial is coming with our next backend update.

Frequently asked questions
- What exactly do I get each morning?
- The free daily brief: every new FCC equipment authorization filing from the previous day, with the company behind it and a plain-English description of the product. Pro adds watchlist alerts and the Friday deep-dive on top.
- What is a watchlist alert?
- You give us the companies or keywords you track, like "Apple" or "Wi-Fi 7 router". When one of them files, you get an email that morning with the filing details and links to the exhibits: photos, test reports, manuals. Nothing you track filed, no email.
- What is the weekly deep-dive?
- Every Friday, Pro subscribers get a closer look at the week's most interesting filing: what the product appears to be, based on the actual exhibits, and which documents are worth opening.
- Is there a free trial?
- A 7-day free trial is coming with our next backend update. Right now, subscribing starts paid immediately, and you can cancel anytime by replying to any email.
- How do I cancel?
- Reply to any email and it is done, no login or phone call needed. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- Why trust FCC filings as a signal?
- Companies must get equipment authorization before selling wireless devices in the US, so filings surface hardware months before launch. Filings are public legal records, and the exhibits are primary documents, photos and test reports filed by the manufacturer, not rumors.
- Who is this for?
- Journalists covering hardware, product managers tracking competitors, analysts and investors watching for launches, teardown researchers.
- Can't I just check fccid.io myself?
- You can, and every alert we send links its exhibits through fccid.io so you can verify everything yourself. What you are paying for is never having to check: around a hundred filings land every weekday, most of them curtain motors and remote-control toys. We decode all of them, and Pro emails you only when something you track files. If your time is worth more than 83 cents a day, the math is simple.
