Is Prometiam cheaper than Kyckr?

For EU + UK use cases, almost always. Prometiam has public tier pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / custom) with fixed monthly quotas. Kyckr bills per API call and per live document retrieval on quote-based terms, so cost scales with volume and document pulls. For steady EU + UK KYB volume, Prometiam is materially cheaper and predictable.

Does Prometiam cover the same countries as Kyckr?

No. Prometiam covers Spain, France, the United Kingdom and Norway today, plus Ireland (CRO) and Poland (KRS) at company level — Sweden and Finland next. Kyckr connects to 300+ registries across 100+ countries. If you need registry documents outside EU + UK, Kyckr is the right tool.

Does Prometiam do UBO / beneficial ownership like Kyckr?

Only for the UK. Prometiam serves 7.56M UK PSC (Persons with Significant Control) beneficial owners from Companies House. For Spain, France, Ireland, Poland and Norway there is no real beneficial-owner data. Kyckr traces UBO across many countries from official shareholder data, so for cross-border UBO it is stronger.

Can Prometiam replace Kyckr for KYB onboarding?

For EU + UK counterparties, yes. The /companies/search and /sanctions/screen endpoints cover the registry-verification + sanctions-screen leg of KYB, and UK PSC covers UK beneficial ownership. If you need live official filings or UBO documents outside the UK, keep Kyckr for that leg.

Does Prometiam retrieve official registry documents like Kyckr?

No. Prometiam serves normalized, daily-refreshed structured registry data via REST, not on-demand retrieval of stamped official filing documents. If your workflow requires the authoritative source document (e.g. for audit or legal), Kyckr is the better fit.

Is Prometiam GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). Officer data is processed under GDPR Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation of public registries) and Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in fraud prevention).

Kyckr Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing Kyckr against Prometiam for EU + UK company data, KYB, and UBO verification. Kyckr is a global business-register gateway — the right choice if you need live official filings and beneficial-owner documents pulled directly from 300-plus registries across 100-plus countries, or authoritative registry documents in markets outside Europe. Prometiam is a leaner EU + UK-native REST API with public pricing, a free tier, daily-fresh data, and sanctions plus US export-control screening included.

Why teams look for an alternative

Common reasons: pay-per-call pricing that is not published, cost that scales with live document retrieval, enterprise sales-led onboarding, and paying for 100-plus-country registry connectivity when the scope is only EU + UK.

What Prometiam covers

One schema over official registries — Spain (BORME), France (BODACC), the UK (Companies House, with 7.56M PSC beneficial owners), and Norway (Brønnøysundregistrene / Enhetsregisteret, companies and directors), plus Ireland (CRO) and Poland (KRS) at company level only. Daily updates, corporate-event data, and sanctions plus US export-control screening across six sources (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels, and the US Consolidated Screening List) covering 44,000-plus active entities. PEP screening is beta and Spain-only (no relatives or close associates); no adverse-media. UBO is real only for the UK (PSC); ES/FR/IE/PL/NO have no beneficial-owner data.

Honest trade-offs

Prometiam: public pricing (€0 / €9.99 / €29.99 / custom), free tier, monthly on SMB tiers, sanctions included on Professional, EU residency (Frankfurt), daily-fresh normalized data.
Kyckr: 300-plus registries in 100-plus countries, live official filings and documents, and cross-border UBO discovery from official shareholder data. If you need authoritative registry documents outside EU + UK, or on-demand UBO documents in more countries, Kyckr fits better.

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 — Spanish contract awards by supplier, buyer, tax id, 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
