The eCFR is free. Your time isn't.
The government's eCFR is authoritative and costs nothing — we link to it ourselves. RegLogic exists because reading law in a legal database is not the same as answering a compliance question on a jobsite.

eCFR / OSHA.gov vs. RegLogic
Different tools for different moments
For a compliance attorney verifying an official citation at a desk, the eCFR is exactly right. The gap appears at working speed: eCFR search rewards people who already know the citation, its flat text renders dense standards nearly unreadable on a phone, interpretation letters live on a different website entirely, and nothing remembers what your team learned last time. Those aren't flaws in the eCFR — they're the difference between a legal record and a working tool.
RegLogic is the working-tool layer: the same regulatory text, formatted for comprehension, searchable by intent, annotated with your organization's knowledge, and available where the work is — including offline. The honest answer is that many professionals use both; the question is which one they reach for twenty times a day.

Common questions
Is RegLogic's text official?
RegLogic presents the same CFR text, kept current with the Federal Register. For court filings, cite the official eCFR/GPO version — for daily work, RegLogic gets you to the same words faster.
Why pay when the eCFR is free?
You're paying for retrieval speed, readability, LOIs in context, offline access, and team knowledge management — the workflow around the text, not the text itself. Cancel anytime if it doesn't save you time.
Does RegLogic update as fast as the eCFR?
Yes — same-day with Federal Register publication.
