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 (beta) — 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 has only a beta, Spain-only PEP set and neither of the other two, and 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 across Europe: directors, filings, and corporate events for Spain, France and the UK, plus register-change events for Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Brazil and the United States, directors for Norway, and company records only for Ireland, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Croatia, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Brazil and the United States. It bundles sanctions (beta) and US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List / BIS Entity List, Denied Persons, ITAR) 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.

Two derived signals on the Prometiam side, neither of them a rating: registry_compliance, which marks companies still on the register that stopped meeting their filing duties (Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway), and public procurement — contract awards from Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway by supplier, buyer, identifier, CPV code and date, plus a beta score for the contracting body itself in Spain and France. Both are dated facts with their source, on the published price and in the 14-day free trial; a score is a prompt to look, never a finding of wrongdoing. Public-buyer risk · Procurement screening
