Does Prometiam offer credit scores like Ellisphere?

No. Prometiam has no credit score, no default-probability rating, and no financial-statement data. The API returns registry facts — identity, status, directors, events — and, on the sanctions endpoint only, a match_score for name matches. If you need a credit score, Ellisphere's ELLIPRO product is built for that.

How much does Ellisphere cost?

Not published. Every Ellisphere solution page we read (SHARE, ELLIPRO Credit Risk Management, KYC / bénéficiaires effectifs, Compliance for Business) ends in "request a demo" or "contact an expert," with no price on the page. Prometiam publishes its pricing: free up to 1,000 calls a month, then €9.99, €29.99 and €99.99 a month.

Can Prometiam replace Ellisphere for French company checks?

For registry facts and French insolvency notices, yes — GET /companies/search?country=FR and GET /insolvency/search?country=FR cover that. Prometiam has no equivalent to Ellisphere's credit score, financial-statement access, or French beneficial-ownership product.

Does Prometiam identify beneficial owners like Ellisphere's KYC product?

Only for the United Kingdom, via the PSC register. Officer and director data returned for France, Spain and Norway is not beneficial-ownership data. Ellisphere's KYC / bénéficiaires effectifs solution is built specifically to identify beneficial owners for French companies, with ownership-tree mapping.

Does Prometiam screen sanctions like Ellisphere's CFB platform?

Yes, on GET/POST /sanctions/screen — EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels and the US Consolidated Screening List, fuzzy-matched with a threshold you set — but it is a beta feature. PEP screening is also beta and Spain only, with no relatives or close associates. Ellisphere's CFB bundles sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening as part of its compliance platform.

Ellisphere alternative: registry facts by API, not credit scores on a contract

TL;DR

Ellisphere is a French business-information provider: credit scores and default-probability ratings, financial-statement and annual-accounts access, and a compliance suite (CFB) covering sanctions, PEP, adverse media and beneficial-ownership checks, sold through a demo-led, quote-based contract with no published price. Prometiam is a REST API for the official company-registry record — Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland and Norway in one response shape — with public pricing from a free tier. Prometiam carries no credit score, no financial statements and no French beneficial-ownership product; its beneficial-ownership coverage is the UK PSC register only.

Pick Ellisphere if

You need a credit score or default-probability rating, access to a French company's filed financial statements, French beneficial-ownership identification with ownership-tree mapping, or a single compliance platform (CFB) bundling sanctions, PEP, adverse-media and Sapin II anti-corruption screening — and you can work through a demo and a quote-based contract rather than public self-serve pricing.

Pick Prometiam if

You want registry facts — company identity, status, directors, corporate events, French insolvency notices — as JSON, across six countries in one schema, starting from a free API key with no sales call. Sanctions and US export-control screening are included on paid tiers (beta); company monitoring covers Spain, Ireland and Poland.

Scope limits

Prometiam has no credit score, no financial statements, no shareholder register beyond the UK PSC and GLEIF Level-2 parents. Insolvency notices are corporate only, across nine markets (FR, DE, GB, AT, CH, NO, FI, US, NL); Spain's concursal proceedings are on a separate search endpoint. Monitoring is Spain, Ireland and Poland. Sanctions screening is beta; PEP screening is beta and Spain only, with no relatives or close associates.

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
