kompany Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing kompany against Prometiam. kompany — 360kompany AG of Vienna, which joined Moody's in March 2022 and still trades under its own name inside the Moody's KYC portfolio — is a real-time registry gateway. It retrieves company data and documents from the primary source at request time as a time-stamped true copy, across 200+ jurisdictions. For most of what it does, it is bigger than us.

Where kompany is ahead

Reach: 200+ jurisdictions against our six. Audit-proof documents — register extracts, annual accounts and articles of association as time-stamped true copies positioned for AMLD evidencing, including sourcing from non-digitised registries with translation. A dedicated UBO discovery feature analysing indirect, control and circular ownership, where ours is UK PSC only. And an enterprise compliance suite with case management and perpetual monitoring, which is a different product category from a data API.

Where Prometiam is ahead

Published pricing — kompany publishes none, every path is a demo request. Corporate events and corporate insolvency across nine markets, neither of which appears in kompany's published product. Sanctions and US export-control screening in the same API, where kompany delivers screening through separate Moody's products. And freely queryable data rather than per-applicant retrieval.

On coverage figures

If you compare numbers, check which one: kompany's own pages state 115 million, 328 million and 348 million companies in different places. Their 200+ jurisdictions figure is consistent. Our per-country counts come from a live /coverage endpoint you can call yourself.

Built for the API-native workflow

If your workflow is querying, not requesting a case file: every registry identifier is one parameter — NIF/CIF (Spain), SIREN/SIRET (France), company number (UK), CRO number (Ireland), KRS number (Poland), organisasjonsnummer (Norway) — and ?name= is a normalised partial match a type-ahead field can call on every keystroke, across one schema for all six countries. Auth is one bearer key; rate limits scale 10 to 600 requests/minute by tier. A TypeScript SDK (prometiam-risk-api on npm) and an MCP server (prometiam-risk-mcp, also at /mcp) are both published; no Python SDK yet. Pricing is monthly or annual (ten months' price for twelve), with a 14-day free trial (1,000 calls/month, no card — not an ongoing plan). Free identifier lookup tools run the same call without a key.

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 — contract awards from Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway by supplier, buyer, identifier, 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

Frequently asked questions

Is kompany still a separate product after the Moody's acquisition?
Yes. 360kompany AG joined Moody's in March 2022 and the product still trades under its own name - Kompany KYC API and Kompany live search - within the Moody's KYC portfolio. It is a distinct product from Orbis, which is a separate Moody's offering.
What does kompany cost?
Its pricing is not published (kompany.com, read 2026-09-27: a "Documents & Prices" link exists but no figure appears). Every conversion path on the site is a demo request, so no like-for-like price comparison is possible from public information. Prometiam publishes every tier, monthly or annual: a 14-day free trial (1,000 calls a month, no card, not an ongoing plan), Starter 9.99 euros, Professional 29.99 euros, Scale 99.99 euros.
Does kompany include sanctions screening?
Not within the kompany product itself. Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening are delivered through separate Moody's products. Prometiam includes screening against five sanctions lists plus 11 US export-control lists in the same API.
Can Prometiam produce an audit-proof register extract?
No. Prometiam serves structured, daily-refreshed registry data over REST, not time-stamped true copies of official documents. kompany positions exactly that as its strength, including sourcing documents from non-digitised registries.
Which has better beneficial-ownership data?
kompany, across many jurisdictions, via a dedicated UBO discovery feature that analyses indirect, control and circular ownership. Prometiam has beneficial ownership only for the UK, from the Companies House PSC register.
