SoloCheck alternative: one API across six registries, not a per-document Irish shop

TL;DR

SoloCheck is a pay-per-report shop for Irish and UK company data: free brief searches for every Irish company, then a fixed price per item (its pricing page and FAQ, read 16 September 2026: Basic Company Report EUR3, Directors Report EUR4, any document filed in the CRO EUR6, a five-in-one Credit Report EUR9, Full UK Company Report EUR3, any UK document EUR8, Full UK Directors Report EUR8), no subscription, no set-up fee. Prometiam's Irish data, from the CRO, is company-level only — status, registered address, Eircode, NACE code, incorporation and dissolution dates — with no Irish officers, documents, judgments or credit reports. What Prometiam adds is breadth and a published API: the same registry shape for Spain, France, the UK, Poland and Norway under one key, self-serve pricing from a free tier, webhook monitoring for Ireland, and sanctions screening in beta. For an Ireland-only document, judgment or credit-report need, SoloCheck is the right tool.

Pick SoloCheck if

You need the scanned CRO document itself, an Irish credit report, a director's judgment history, or a free email alert the day a company files something new. SoloCheck sells all of these per item; Prometiam has none of them, for any country.

Pick Prometiam if

Your counterparties are not only in Ireland, you build against a REST API rather than a shopping basket, you want published self-serve pricing (free, then EUR9.99, EUR29.99 or EUR99.99 a month) instead of buying one report at a time, and you also need UK officers and PSC beneficial ownership behind the same key.

Scope limits on the Prometiam side

Ireland is company-level only, with no officers, documents, judgments, credit reports or beneficial ownership yet. Corporate insolvency notices cover nine other markets and do not include Ireland. Monitoring covers Spain, Ireland and Poland; sanctions screening is beta, and 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 SoloCheck cost?
As published on solocheck.ie (pricing page and FAQ, read 16 September 2026): free brief reports and free searching on every Irish company, then per-report prices with no set-up fee, no subscription and no annual fee — Basic Company Report €3, Directors Report €4, any document filed in the CRO €6, a five-in-one Credit Report €9 (credit score, bad-debt judgments, directors history, mortgages and charges, and company owners), Irish Business Report €3; for the UK, Full UK Company Report €3, any UK document €8, Full UK Directors Report €8.
Does Prometiam sell the scanned CRO document, like SoloCheck?
No, for any country. Prometiam returns structured fields only and never the filed document itself. SoloCheck sells any document filed in the CRO since 1998, from €6, in PDF.
Does Prometiam offer Irish credit reports or judgment history, like SoloCheck?
No. Prometiam has no credit scores, credit reports or judgment records, for any country. SoloCheck's €9 Credit Report bundles a credit score, a bad-debt judgments report, a directors history report, a mortgages and charges report and a company owners report into one purchase.
Does SoloCheck have an API?
Not on its own product pages. SoloCheck is a per-report web shop; its footer lists a separate "API" brand pointing to api.vision-net.ie, part of its sister service Vision-net, which is a distinct product from SoloCheck's own reports. Prometiam is API-only: every field is returned as JSON from one key.
Can I use Prometiam for the UK, Spain, France, Poland and Norway, and SoloCheck for Irish documents?
Yes — a common split. Prometiam's single key covers company data for six countries including UK officers and PSC beneficial ownership; SoloCheck stays the Irish-specific source for the scanned document, the credit report or the judgment search Prometiam does not carry.
