Does Societe.com have an API?

Yes, via two paths: a self-serve credit-based API where credits can be bought directly, and an older enterprise API that is quote-only and requires contacting their team. Prometiam has a single self-serve REST API with published per-tier pricing.

Does Societe.com cover countries outside France?

No. Its data sources are all French - SIRENE, INPI and BODACC - covering around 12 million French companies. Prometiam covers Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway under one schema.

Does Societe.com do sanctions screening?

No sanctions or PEP screening product appears on their site. Prometiam includes screening against five sanctions lists (EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI, French gels) plus 11 US export-control lists, 44,000+ active designations refreshed daily.

Can Prometiam provide a KBIS extract?

No. Prometiam serves structured registry data over REST, not legally recognised official documents. Societe.com does provide KBIS extracts and statuts, which is a genuine advantage where the document itself is required.

Which has better French financial data?

Societe.com. It serves multi-year filed accounts (bilans) with ratios from documents deposited at the greffe, plus French beneficial ownership with voting rights. Prometiam serves registry facts and has no financial statements for any country.

Societe.com Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing Societe.com against Prometiam. Societe.com is the best-known French company-data site: around 12 million French companies from SIRENE, INPI and BODACC, refreshed daily, with directors, beneficial owners, filed financial accounts, insolvency proceedings and official documents such as a KBIS extract. For France alone it is deeper than we are.

Where Societe.com is ahead

Filed financial accounts (multi-year bilans with ratios), legally recognised official documents like the KBIS, and French beneficial-ownership detail including voting rights and control mechanisms. Prometiam has no financial statements for any country and no French UBO data — our beneficial ownership is UK PSC only. They also run a free public website that millions already use, so a one-off French lookup needs no integration.

Where Prometiam is ahead

Five more countries — Spain (BORME), the UK (Companies House with PSC), Ireland (CRO), Poland (KRS) and Norway (Brønnøysundregistrene) — under one schema and one key. Sanctions and US export-control screening across 44,000+ active designations, which Societe.com does not offer. Corporate insolvency across eight markets rather than France alone. Public per-call pricing from €0 to €99.99.

Which to choose

Societe.com for French depth, accounts and documents. Prometiam for multi-country coverage and screening. Many teams should use both — France is deep on one side, Europe is wide on the other.
