Purehelp alternative: a six-country company data API, not a Norwegian sales and credit tool

TL;DR

Purehelp is a Norwegian company-information site: board and role search, Creditsafe credit reports, sales-prospecting lists, monitoring, valuation estimates and lien analysis, sold through a free Standard tier and PRO / PRO+ subscriptions at NOK 6,900 and NOK 10,900 a year. Prometiam adds Norway to a six-country registry API — companies and officers from Bronnoysundregistrene under the same key as Spain, France, the UK, Ireland and Poland, with public prices from a free tier — but has no accounts, credit reports, prospecting lists or monitoring for Norway.

Pick Purehelp if

You want a browsable site rather than only an API, need Norwegian credit reports through Creditsafe Norge AS, run sales prospecting with daily-updated email, address and phone lists, or need company monitoring, valuation estimates, lien (Pant) analysis or 15-year board and leadership history, bundled into PRO or PRO+.

Pick Prometiam if

Your counterparties span Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland or Norway and you want one response shape and one key, public prices you can read today with no annual subscription, and Norwegian corporate insolvency notices cross-referenced to the company record.

Being clear about Norway

Bronnoysundregistrene publishes Enhetsregisteret as free open data with no registration. If Norway is the only market you need, querying Brreg directly costs nothing — Prometiam's value there is the shared response shape with five other countries, not exclusive access.

Scope limits on the Prometiam side

Norway has no corporate-event stream, no credit reports, no prospecting lists, no monitoring alarms and no ownership data beyond GLEIF Level-2 relationships for LEI holders. Company monitoring covers Spain, Ireland and Poland only, not Norway. Sanctions screening is beta; PEP screening is beta and Spain only.

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

Frequently asked questions

How much does Purehelp cost?
As published on purehelp.no on 16 September 2026: the Standard tier is free (0 kr/year) and covers registering board experience, pulling credit reports and managing a company profile through MinSide. PRO is NOK 6,900 a year (one licence included) and adds prospecting lists, accounting and competitor analysis, and company and role search. PRO+ is NOK 10,900 a year (one licence included) and adds monitoring alarms, valuation estimates, lien (Pant) analysis and management CV search. Credit reports are invoiced per report after use, delivered under a partnership with Creditsafe Norge AS; bulk pricing for a larger number of reports is available on request through a contact form.
Does Purehelp have an API?
Purehelp advertises a bulk data feed called API-Datakontroll for updating a customer's own registries, described on purehelp.no as drawing on more than 20 years of Norwegian business history with a change archive and risk-classified fields, downloadable daily. The page carries no endpoint documentation, authentication details or published price: it is a contact form that leads to a sales conversation, not a self-serve API.
Does Prometiam cover Norwegian credit reports and prospecting lists like Purehelp?
No. Prometiam serves Norwegian companies and officers from Bronnoysundregistrene. There are no credit reports, credit ratings, prospecting lists, valuation estimates or lien (Pant) analysis for Norway, and no corporate-event stream, because Norway publishes no gazette equivalent to Spain's BORME or France's BODACC. Ownership is limited to GLEIF Level-2 relationships for entities that hold an LEI.
Is Norwegian company data free without either vendor?
Yes. Bronnoysundregistrene publishes Enhetsregisteret as free open data with no registration required. If Norway is the only market you need, querying Brreg directly costs nothing. Prometiam's value for Norway is not exclusive access to that data — it is the same response shape, id format and endpoints as Spain, France, the UK, Ireland and Poland, plus Norwegian corporate insolvency notices and sanctions screening on the same key.
Can I switch from Purehelp to Prometiam?
For what overlaps — company name, organisation number, address, industry code and roles — yes, through GET /companies/search?country=NO. Prometiam has no equivalent to Purehelp's credit reports, prospecting lists, monitoring alarms, valuation estimates or lien analysis, so keep Purehelp for those and use Prometiam for Spain, France, the UK, Ireland and Poland and the sanctions and insolvency endpoints.
