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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
