Infonif Alternative

A REST-API alternative to Infonif for Spanish NIF + company-registry lookups. Daily-fresh BORME, sanctions screening (beta) on Pro, multi-country coverage. 14-day free trial, card required, nothing charged for 14 days.

TL;DR

Infonif specialises in single-NIF lookups against the Spanish registry. It’s useful for one-off verification but limited if you need to integrate NIF validation, full registry data, director networks, corporate-event monitoring, and sanctions screening into one product workflow. Prometiam wraps the same official BORME data into a single REST API with predictable pricing — and adds the other live registries and sanctions screening (beta) in the same authentication context.

Why teams look for an Infonif alternative

1. NIF-only scope. Infonif is built around the NIF lookup. If your workflow also needs director networks, capital changes, event timeline, or sanctions check, you’re assembling multiple tools.
2. Per-lookup pricing. Costs scale linearly with usage; predictable monthly tiers are harder to budget for.
3. Spain-only. No equivalent endpoint for French SIREN or UK Companies House numbers.
4. Limited developer surface. The product is positioned for compliance-officer browsers, not engineers building integrations.
5. No sanctions screen. KYB workflows usually need it; Infonif doesn’t offer it inline.

Prometiam in one paragraph

A REST API that unifies official company-registry data across Europe, with daily updates, sanctions (beta) and US export-control screening (EU + UN + OFAC + UK + Australia (DFAT) + FR gels, plus the US Consolidated Screening List), director-network expansion, and corporate-event monitoring. Public pricing from €9.99/month, 14-day free trial available, EU data residency in Frankfurt.

NIF validation in practice

The single most common KYB use case is verifying a counterparty’s NIF before opening an account. With Infonif you query each NIF individually and parse the resulting page. With Prometiam:

curl 'https://api.prometiam.com/functions/v1/risk-api/companies/search?company_number=B26906461&country=ES' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

You get back the company record (name, address, registered capital, founding date, current status), the director list, and the link to its corporate-event timeline. One call; the Spain company registry API guide covers the NIF lookup, the administrators and the BORME events in full.

Pricing

• Starter trial — 14 days, 500 credits, card required, nothing charged for 14 days.
• Starter — €9.99/mo, 60 rpm and 1,000 credits/month. Fits SMB integrations.
• Professional — €29.99/mo, 120 rpm and 10,000 credits/month. Includes full sanctions screening.
• Enterprise — custom, for higher volume or custom SLAs.

For most KYB onboarding workflows in Spain, Starter or Pro covers the load. At 100 lookups/day across a year, Prometiam is roughly €120/yr — typically a quarter or less of what NIF-by-NIF pricing costs.

Who should choose Infonif

• You need to do one-off web-based NIF lookups, not integrate into a product
• You don’t need director-network, corporate-event, or sanctions data alongside the NIF
• Your portfolio is exclusively Spanish

Who should choose Prometiam

• You need NIF + full registry record + directors + events + sanctions in a single API surface
• Your portfolio crosses borders beyond Spain
• You want predictable, public pricing rather than per-lookup or quote-based
• Your team builds integrations and values a documented developer experience

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.

Yes — /companies/search?vat_number=…&country=ES returns the matched company plus directors and events.

How does pricing compare?
Infonif is per-lookup; Prometiam is monthly tiers from €9.99 — typically cheaper at production volumes.
