About GovPing.

A lot of regulation doesn't happen in the Federal Register. It happens on agency websites. A quiet revision to an FDA guidance document. A new enforcement memo from a state insurance commissioner. An updated FAQ on OSHA's site. A policy shift buried in a press release.

This is the kind of change that enterprise regulatory intelligence platforms cover for a fee starting around $50K a year, and that everyone else finds out about through luck or headlines. GovPing indexes all of it and publishes it for free, with structured metadata so it can be read, searched, cited, and integrated.

GovPing is not a newsroom. We don't write regulatory updates. Government agencies write them. We detect the change, classify it, summarize it, and link to the original. Our role is aggregation, enrichment, and distribution, not authorship.

The byline on every record is the agency. The publisher is GovPing. The source URL is always one click away. This provenance chain is deliberate and matters.

GovPing is not a legal database. If the exact wording of a rule matters for your decision, read the rule. We will get you to it faster, but we are not a substitute for it.

GovPing is built and operated by Changeflow , a bootstrapped UK company founded by Steve Butterworth. Changeflow builds change-detection infrastructure used by compliance teams, law firms, and regulated-industry operators.

GovPing is the free, government-focused index built on that same infrastructure. The free index is not a teaser for a paid product. It stands on its own.

GovPing covers government sources only. Changeflow, the paid product, covers any URL: vendor terms, competitor pages, industry body bulletins, internal portals. When a compliance team needs to monitor sources that aren't government websites, that's Changeflow.

The two share a pipeline, a team, and a philosophy: detect, classify, summarize, cite the source. GovPing is free because government data should be. Changeflow is paid because custom monitoring is a real business problem with real infrastructure cost.

Everything published on GovPing is annotated in ORCA (Open Regulatory Change Annotation), an open schema we developed to extend the Federal Register API pattern across all regulatory sources.
