North Data is a broad European company-intelligence platform: 26 countries, officers and person networks, financial metrics, trademarks, ownership on the top package, with a Data API sold on a 12-month contract from €500 a month (5,000 requests included; a start-up package at €500 for 1,000 requests). Prometiam is narrower and cheaper to start: the official registries of Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway behind one key and one response shape, updated daily, with published prices from a free tier of 1,000 calls a month and no contract.
You need Germany, Austria, Switzerland or the rest of its 26 countries, financial metrics, shareholder data or person networks across borders, and a yearly contract is not a problem.
Your counterparties are in Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland or Norway, you want to start without a sales call or a contract, and you need registry facts, corporate events, monitoring (ES, IE, PL) and sanctions screening (beta) rather than financial statements.
Ireland and Poland are company-level (no officers yet); Norway has no corporate-event stream; insolvency notices are corporate only across nine markets with Spain served by its own concursal index; PEP screening is beta and Spain only.

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
