Iberinform Alternative

A modern, REST-first alternative to Iberinform for Spanish company data — with French and UK coverage included, sanctions screening, and public pricing.

TL;DR

Iberinform is the right pick if you're already a Crédito y Caución / Atradius credit-insurance customer and want bundled claims data with your company file. If your need is registry data + corporate events + sanctions screening (beta) as a REST API — and you also touch French or UK companies — Prometiam is a smaller, faster, and substantially cheaper alternative with public pricing.

Why teams look for an Iberinform alternative

1. You don't need bundled credit insurance. Iberinform's strength is its tie-in to Crédito y Caución claims data — useful if you're insuring receivables, overkill if you're just verifying or monitoring counterparties.
2. Quote-based pricing and annual contracts are a poor fit for SMB / mid-market integrations.
3. You need more than Spain. Iberinform is Spain-centric; coverage outside ES is partial and priced separately.

At a glance

What Iberinform does well

Iberinform's underlying value is the connection to the Crédito y Caución / Atradius group. If you're insuring trade receivables and want claims-experience data and credit-limit recommendations bundled with your company file, Iberinform is genuinely strong and Prometiam doesn't replicate that.

• Crédito y Caución claims-data signal — companies with deteriorating payment behavior under insurance contracts
• Recommended credit limits derived from claims experience
• Sectorial reports informed by Atradius's risk underwriting

If those are your core need, this comparison probably ends here. Iberinform is the right tool.

Where Prometiam is a better fit

For teams whose actual need is "look up a company by NIF, get registry data + officers + corporate events, screen against sanctions, monitor for new filings" — i.e. the integration leg of KYB, counterparty monitoring, supplier verification — Iberinform is overkill and overpriced.

• Public pricing beats quote-based pricing for any team that wants to estimate cost before engaging sales
• 14-day free trial beats no free access for evaluators
• Single REST endpoint covering every live registry beats Spain-only coverage if any part of your portfolio touches another European country
• Sanctions screening (beta) included on Professional beats partner-provided sanctions on Iberinform
• Modern bearer-token + JSON + cursor pagination beats portal-first delivery

Coverage and freshness

Both draw on BORME daily. Prometiam additionally draws on BODACC (France), Companies House (UK), Brønnøysundregistrene (Norway) and the other live registries on the same endpoints with the same response shape. If your team currently uses Iberinform for Spain and a separate tool for France or the UK, consolidating to Prometiam reduces vendor count.

Pricing

Iberinform is quote-based; public reports indicate annual subscriptions in the €1,500–€5,000 range for SMB tiers, with API access often a separate add-on. Bundled with Crédito y Caución insurance, the cost can be effectively zero on the margin — but only if you're already insured.

Prometiam:

• Starter trial: 14 days, 500 credits
• Starter: €9.99/month, 1,000 credits/month
• Professional: €29.99/month, 10,000 credits/month with full sanctions screening

For multi-country registry-data integrations at SMB scale, the math typically lands at 80–95% lower spend.

Who should choose Iberinform

• You're a Crédito y Caución / Atradius customer (or want to be) and value bundled claims data
• You need recommended credit limits informed by trade-credit insurance underwriting
• Your portfolio is Spain-only and your buying process favors annual contracts with sales engagement
• Your team wants Spanish-language sales and account management

Who should choose Prometiam

• Your scope crosses Spain and other European countries
• You want to integrate via REST API with a free trial that doesn't need a sales call
• Public pricing matters — for budgeting, internal sign-off, or simply because procurement is small
• Sanctions screening alongside registry data is a core requirement
• The shape of your work is "API consumer", not "credit-insurance customer"

Migrating from Iberinform

1. Sign up free at prometiam.com/signup — rk_live_* key in your inbox
2. Map endpoints. Iberinform's company-search and report endpoints map to /companies/search (with ?nif= for exact match) and /companies/{id} (full profile incl. officers)
3. Add the multi-country consolidation. If you previously paid for FR or UK coverage separately, point those flows at the same endpoints with ?country=FR or ?country=GB
4. Verify sanctions parity — call /sanctions/screen?name=… for representative names
5. Decision point: Are you using claims data anywhere? If yes, you'll need to keep Iberinform (or find an alternative claims-data source). Prometiam doesn't replicate that.

Beyond the registry record

Two derived signals, neither of them a rating. Both are dated facts carrying the source they came from, so whoever reviews your file can check them.

• Companies that stopped filing. A company that quietly stops trading rarely dissolves; the register notices first. The registry_compliance flag returns that state in one shape for Spain (provisional closure of the registry sheet), the United Kingdom (a strike-off proposal, or annual accounts overdue), Ireland (the strike-off list) and Norway (compulsory liquidation). Read it on GET /companies/{id}?include=risk_flags, or list those companies with risk_flag_type=registry_compliance. It is a compliance signal, not an insolvency: read it together with status.
• Public contracts, and the buyer behind them. GET /procurement/awards returns public-contract awards from Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway by supplier, buyer, identifier, CPV code and date, linked to the supplier’s registry record where the identifier resolves. GET /procurement/buyer/{id} scores the contracting body itself: the probability that its next award draws a single bid, and the probability that a supplier it awards to enters insolvency within two years.

Both are ordinary REST calls on the published price and included in the 14-day trial. Procurement awards cover Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway (Ireland, Poland and Norway above the EU thresholds only), the buyer scores are Spain and France and in beta, and a score is a prompt to look, never a finding of wrongdoing.

FAQ

What is the best Iberinform alternative?
For Spain-only credit-insurance use cases, no direct alternative exists — Iberinform's tie to Crédito y Caución claims data is unique. For registry data, sanctions screening, and corporate-event monitoring as a REST API, Prometiam covers Spain, France, the UK, Norway, Poland and the Czech Republic (Polish natural persons are masked by the register itself; Czech natural persons are the name and the month and year of birth only) with officers, plus Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Croatia, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Germany and Brazil at company level, with public pricing from €9.99/month.

Is Prometiam cheaper than Iberinform?
For SMB and mid-market API integrations, yes — usually 80–95% cheaper.

Does Prometiam include credit scoring like Iberinform does?
No. Prometiam exposes registry data, corporate events, and sanctions screening — not a modeled credit score.

Can Prometiam handle Spanish KYB onboarding for a fintech?
Yes. The /companies/search?nif= + /companies/{id} + /sanctions/screen flow covers the registry-verification + officer + sanctions legs of KYB.

Does Prometiam have data on French or UK companies?
Yes. Same endpoints, with ?country=FR or ?country=GB.
