Trulioo alternative: a self-serve registry API for six countries, not a global identity-verification platform

TL;DR

Trulioo is a global identity-verification platform: business verification (KYB) claimed across 195+ countries, with company search, UBO discovery reconstructed across a claimed 75+ markets, business watchlist screening (6,000+ lists plus 20,000+ adverse-media sources) and registry-document retrieval, alongside full person KYC with identity documents and biometrics — sold through a sales team, with no published price. Prometiam is a queryable registry API for six European countries — Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway — updated daily, with corporate events, monitoring (Spain, Ireland, Poland) and sanctions screening (beta), and prices you can read and start on today: free for 1,000 calls a month, then €9.99, €29.99 and €99.99.

Pick Trulioo if

You need to verify individuals as well as businesses in the same platform — government identity documents, biometric liveness and full KYC — want algorithmic UBO discovery or on-demand registry-document retrieval outside Europe, and a sales-led global contract with no published price is not a problem.

Pick Prometiam if

Your counterparties are in Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland or Norway, you want to see the exact price before a sales call, and you need registry facts, corporate events, portfolio monitoring and sanctions screening rather than identity verification or document retrieval.

Scope limits on the Prometiam side

Beneficial ownership is the UK PSC register only; Ireland and Poland are company-level with no officers yet; Norway has no corporate-event stream; sanctions screening is beta with no adverse-media product; 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 Trulioo cost?
Not published. trulioo.com/pricing names no figures for identity or business verification and directs every visitor to book a demo or contact sales, as read on 15 September 2026. Prometiam publishes every tier: free for 1,000 calls a month, then €9.99, €29.99 and €99.99, with no contract.
Does Prometiam verify individuals like Trulioo?
No. Trulioo's Person Verification checks government identity documents and biometric liveness. Prometiam has no consumer-identity capability at all — it only returns company-registry data: search, officers where published, corporate events, insolvency notices and sanctions screening.
Does Prometiam do UBO discovery like Trulioo?
Not in the way Trulioo describes it. Trulioo's UBO Discovery is described as reconstructing ownership across a claimed 75+ markets when a registry does not expose it. Prometiam's beneficial-ownership data is the UK PSC register only; every other registry in scope returns officers and directors, which is not beneficial ownership.
Can I switch from Trulioo to Prometiam?
Only for the registry-lookup leg inside Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway, and only where you do not need identity-document verification, algorithmic UBO reconstruction or registry-document retrieval. Many teams keep Trulioo for KYC and global KYB, and add Prometiam for European registry data, corporate-event monitoring and sanctions screening at a published price. Sign up and read the documentation to compare the fields directly.
Does Prometiam screen sanctions and adverse media like Trulioo's Business Watchlist?
Partly. Sanctions screening is on the same key, beta. There is no adverse-media product, which is part of Trulioo's Business Watchlist alongside its sanctions lists.
