ComplyAdvantage Alternative — Prometiam Risk API

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.

Where ComplyAdvantage still wins

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.

What Prometiam covers

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.

Pricing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is Prometiam a direct replacement for ComplyAdvantage?
Partially. Prometiam covers sanctions-list screening (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, FR gels) plus official EU + UK company-registry verification in one API. ComplyAdvantage is a broader AML platform — if your program needs PEP screening, adverse-media monitoring, or case-management workflows, keep ComplyAdvantage alongside or instead of Prometiam.
Where does ComplyAdvantage still win?
PEP screening, ML-driven adverse-media monitoring, and proprietary entity-risk scoring are ComplyAdvantage’s core strengths — Prometiam provides none of the three. Teams running a full AML program with case management and continuous risk re-scoring should keep ComplyAdvantage.
What sanctions lists does Prometiam screen against?
Six sources in one call — the EU consolidated list, UN sanctions list, OFAC SDN, UK OFSI consolidated list, the French Registre national des gels, plus the full US Consolidated Screening List of export-control lists — 44,000+ active entities, with trigram fuzzy matching and a confidence score per hit.
How much does ComplyAdvantage cost?
Pricing is quote-based and not published. Public reports indicate plans reportedly from about $99/month for smaller teams, scaling into custom enterprise contracts priced on entity volume and modules such as PEP and adverse media.
Does Prometiam include company-registry data?
Yes — official registry data for Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland, and Norway, including directors, filings, and corporate events. ComplyAdvantage is a screening and risk-data platform; it does not source company-registry data.
