How much does the Prometiam Risk API cost?

Pricing is public and self-serve: Free (1,000 calls/month, no credit card), Starter (€9.99/month, 10,000 calls), Professional (€29.99/month, 100,000 calls with full sanctions screening), Scale (€99.99/month, 1,000,000 calls), and Enterprise (custom). All six countries are included in every tier at no upcharge.

Six sources in one trigram-fuzzy call with confidence scoring: EU consolidated, UN, US OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, the French Registre des gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List (export-control lists including the BIS Entity List and Denied Persons). Refreshed daily, with optional watchlist webhooks on the Professional tier and above.

Is Prometiam cheaper than HitHorizons?

HitHorizons does not publish pricing — its API documentation names Starter, Grow and Pro tiers but states no price, and access requires contacting their team even for a time-limited trial capped at 300 requests per day. Prometiam publishes every tier: Free (1,000 calls/month), Starter €9.99, Professional €29.99, Scale €99.99, Enterprise custom. You can compare cost directly only after a HitHorizons sales conversation.

Does Prometiam cover as many countries as HitHorizons?

No. HitHorizons documents 48 European countries in its API reference, including DACH, the Baltics, the Balkans and offshore jurisdictions. Prometiam covers six registries — Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway — plus corporate insolvency in eight markets. If you need firmographics across dozens of countries, HitHorizons is broader.

Where does each source its data?

Prometiam ingests official registries and gazettes directly — BORME, BODACC, Companies House, CRO, KRS and Brønnøysundregistrene — and refreshes daily. HitHorizons states it sources from various commercial providers and updates monthly; its API reference does not name upstream registries for its core company database.

Does HitHorizons provide directors and beneficial owners?

Not as structured API fields. Reading their published API reference end to end, there is no officer, director or beneficial-ownership field. Director names appear inside paid per-company credit reports ordered through a third-party marketplace (Coface, Kyckr, Propartner). Prometiam serves officers and appointment history as core endpoints, plus UK PSC beneficial owners.

Does HitHorizons include sanctions screening in its API?

No sanctions-screening endpoint appears in its published API reference. Prometiam includes screening against five sanctions lists (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels) plus 11 US export-control lists — 44,000+ active designations, refreshed daily, with trigram fuzzy matching and confidence scores.

Can I get a HitHorizons API key without talking to sales?

Not according to their documentation, which directs you to contact their team to obtain a subscription key, including for the free time-limited trial. Prometiam issues a key at signup with no credit card and no sales call.

HitHorizons Alternative

Q: How is Prometiam different from Pappers, Societe.com, or Creditsafe?

Prometiam is API-first, EU + UK-native, and transparent: pricing is public (Free, €9.99, €29.99, €99.99, Enterprise), and data covers Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), Poland (KRS), and Norway (Enhetsregisteret) under one unified schema and a single API key. No per-user seat fees, no 'contact sales' for a quote.

An honest comparison for teams weighing HitHorizons against Prometiam for European company data. HitHorizons is a broad firmographic aggregator — its published API reference documents 48 European countries, with sales figures, employee counts, industry codes, DUNS cross-reference and sector benchmarking. Prometiam is a narrower, deeper API built directly on six official registries: Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House), Ireland (CRO), Poland (KRS) and Norway (Brønnøysundregistrene).

The core difference

Provenance and freshness. HitHorizons states it sources data from commercial providers and updates monthly. Prometiam ingests official registries and gazettes daily, and publishes what each record came from. If you need firmographics across dozens of countries, breadth wins. If you need current registry truth — who the directors are today, what changed this week, whether a counterparty just entered insolvency — depth and daily updates win.

What the HitHorizons API does not document

Reading their published API reference end to end, there is no officer or director field, no beneficial-ownership field, no corporate-event or insolvency endpoint, and no sanctions-screening endpoint. Director names appear only inside paid per-company reports ordered through a third-party marketplace (Coface, Kyckr, Propartner). Prometiam serves officers, appointment history, normalized corporate events, corporate insolvency across eight markets, and sanctions plus US export-control screening as first-class API endpoints.

Honest trade-offs

HitHorizons: far broader geography (48 countries documented, including DACH, the Baltics, the Balkans and offshore jurisdictions), native sector benchmarking, DUNS cross-reference, and one-stop ordering of third-party credit reports.
Prometiam: official-registry provenance, daily updates, officers and beneficial ownership (UK PSC), corporate events, insolvency, sanctions screening, public pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / €99.99) and an instant self-serve key. HitHorizons does not publish pricing and requires contacting sales even for a trial.
