An honest comparison for teams evaluating a ComplyAdvantage alternative. ComplyAdvantage is a purpose-built AML platform: real-time sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media data assembled into a proprietary ML-driven risk database, with case management and ongoing monitoring on top. Its pricing is quote-based and not published (public reports indicate plans reportedly from about $99/month, scaling to custom enterprise contracts). Prometiam covers a narrower surface — official EU + UK company-registry verification plus sanctions-list screening — with public pricing and no sales call.
PEP screening, ML-driven adverse-media monitoring, and proprietary entity-risk scoring are ComplyAdvantage's core strengths. Prometiam provides none of the three, and has no case-management workflow. Teams running a full AML program measured on watchlist / PEP / adverse-media breadth should keep ComplyAdvantage.
A REST API over official registry data for Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House) — directors, filings, and corporate events — and Norway (Brønnøysundregistrene, companies and directors), plus Ireland (CRO) and Poland (KRS) at company level only. It bundles sanctions and US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List / BIS Entity List, Denied Persons, ITAR) — 44,000+ active entities with fuzzy matching and a confidence score per hit. PEP screening is beta and Spain-only (no relatives or close associates); no adverse media, no ML risk score.
The comparison only holds for the registry-verification-plus-sanctions-list use case; Prometiam’s beta, Spain-only PEP set does not replace full PEP or adverse-media coverage. EU data residency in Frankfurt by default.
