An honest comparison for teams weighing Asiakastieto against Prometiam for Finnish company data by API. Asiakastieto (Suomen Asiakastieto Oy, part of Enento Group) describes itself as one of Finland's leading providers of digital business and consumer information services: credit ratings, payment defaults, company reports, monitoring, compliance data and consumer credit information, sold through an online shop, service baskets, contracts and integrations. Prometiam is the register-record API: a Y-tunnus, a Finnish VAT number or a name in, the Finnish Trade Register record and the linked insolvency notices out. All Asiakastieto facts on this page were read on its own sites on 30 September 2026.
Credit risk data. Its Rating Alfa report is a real-time credit rating (AAA to C) that estimates the probability of a payment default within three years, with payment defaults, payment history and creditors alongside; Prometiam has no credit scores and no payment-default data. Company depth: financial statements and key figures, owner information and responsible persons, where the Finnish record on Prometiam is the register record only. Personal credit information: consumer credit information and credit classifications for lawful credit purposes, which Prometiam does not hold at all. Compliance: PEP and sanctions data from its own sanctions database, where Prometiam's sanctions screening is beta and its PEP data is beta and Spain only. Monitoring of customers' payment ability, and integrations for automated credit decisions.
A price you can see and start on. Prometiam publishes every tier from a 14-day trial (1,000 API calls, no credit card) through Starter at €9.99 a month (10,000 calls) and Professional at €29.99 (100,000) to Scale at €99.99 (1,000,000), monthly, no contract. Asiakastieto's service baskets start at 55 EUR a month excluding VAT for 20 queries, with a three-month initial contract, and its API integrations start with a contact form. The official record: the Y-tunnus check digit, the FI VAT alias, the register's status and dates, and corporate insolvency notices linked by business ID, in the same response shape as every other registry the API covers.
Company records from the Finnish Trade Register: legal name, legal form, status, registered address, activity code and dates; no officers, no corporate-event stream, no monitoring. Corporate insolvency notices are linked by business ID.
If your workflow is a lookup, resolving a customer's identifier or a few typed letters into a company record for an onboarding form, an invoice or a CRM row: every registry identifier is one parameter — NIF/CIF, SIREN/SIRET, Companies House number, CRO number, KRS number, organisasjonsnummer, Y-tunnus and each other registry's own number — and ?name= is a normalised partial match a type-ahead field can call on every keystroke, across one schema for all live countries. Auth is one bearer key; rate limits scale 10 to 600 requests/minute by tier. A TypeScript SDK (prometiam-risk-api on npm) and an MCP server (prometiam-risk-mcp, also at /mcp) are both published; no Python SDK yet. Hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). Free identifier lookup tools, including a Y-tunnus lookup, run the same call without a key.
