Is there a free alternative to Einforma?

Prometiam has a free tier — 1,000 calls/month, no credit card. It is a real developer tier (full API, same response shape as paid tiers), not a watermarked preview.

Does Prometiam provide DUNS numbers?

No. DUNS numbers are issued by Dun & Bradstreet, of which INFORMA / Einforma is the Spanish partner. If DUNS is a hard requirement, keep Einforma for that. Prometiam exposes BORME registry identifiers (NIF, CIF, registro coordinates).

Can Prometiam replace Einforma for KYB onboarding of Spanish customers?

Yes. The /companies/search?nif= + /companies/{id} + /sanctions/screen flow covers the registry-verification + officer + sanctions legs of KYB. If KYB requires a downloadable bureau-style PDF for the audit file, Prometiam does not generate those.

Is Prometiam cheaper than Einforma?

For automated/API workloads, dramatically — typically 80–95% cheaper at SMB and mid-market scale. For occasional human-driven report purchases at very low volumes, Einforma pay-as-you-go can be cheaper in raw cost per lookup but does not include API integration.

Does Prometiam have BORME data going back as far as Einforma?

Prometiam draws on BORME continuously and exposes events via /company-events/timeline. Earliest filings reach back to 2009 in the live dataset; coverage is published at /coverage.

Einforma Alternative

An honest comparison of Prometiam and Einforma for Spanish company data, KYB, and sanctions screening. Einforma is the right call for ad-hoc bureau-style PDF reports and for teams inside the INFORMA D&B / DUNS ecosystem. Prometiam is built for teams that look up companies via API, monitor for corporate events, and screen against sanctions — with public pricing from €9.99/month, a free developer tier (1,000 calls/month, no credit card), and ES + FR + GB + IE + PL + NO coverage in one REST endpoint.

Why teams look for an alternative

Einforma's per-report pricing (€10–€60) breaks down at automated API scale.
Its real API is reserved for enterprise tiers and quote-based; the free side gives previews, not integration.
If your portfolio only needs Spain, France, or the UK, the D&B global tie-in is overkill.

Where each fits

Prometiam draws on BORME (Spain), BODACC (France), Companies House (UK), and Brønnøysundregistrene (Norway) directly and daily, and includes sanctions plus US export-control screening on the Professional tier across 6 sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List) — 44,000+ active entities. Prometiam does not issue DUNS numbers or generate branded bureau-style PDF reports; keep Einforma for those if procurement requires them.

Beyond the registry record

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 — Spanish contract awards by supplier, buyer, tax id, 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 free tier; a score is a prompt to look, never a finding of wrongdoing. Public-buyer risk · Procurement screening
