Trulioo alternative: a self-serve registry API for European company data, not a global identity-verification platform

Trulioo verifies people and businesses across a claimed 195+ countries, with identity documents, biometrics and algorithmic UBO discovery, sold through a sales team. Prometiam is narrower: the official registries of European countries behind one key, with public prices and a 14-day free trial.

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 European countries, updated daily or on weekdays, with corporate events (Spain, France, the UK), monitoring (every live country except France and Chile) and sanctions screening (beta) on the same key, and prices you can read and start on today: free for 500 credits over 14 days, then €9.99, €29.99 and €99.99.

Who should pick Trulioo

• You verify individuals as well as businesses: government identity documents, biometric liveness and full KYC in the same platform as KYB. Prometiam has no consumer-identity capability at all.
• Your counterparties sit outside the European registries Prometiam covers: Trulioo claims business verification across 195+ countries.
• You want ownership reconstructed when a registry does not publish it: UBO Discovery is described as working across a claimed 75+ major markets, not just the UK.
• You want sanctions and adverse-media screening bundled with the KYB check itself, and a single sales-led global contract covering every market is an acceptable trade for a published price.

Who should pick Prometiam

• Your counterparties are on a European registry Prometiam covers and you want the registry record itself, not a verification decision.
• You want to see the price before a sales call: a 14-day free trial, then published monthly tiers, no contract.
• You need corporate-event history and portfolio monitoring (ES, GB, IE, PL, NO, FI, SE, BE, HR, DK, EE, SK, CH, LV, CY, RO, US, LT, CA, AU, JP, IL, SG, CO, TW, BR, CZ, DE, AR, UA, RS, EC, NL) on the same key you use for lookups.
• You are a developer who wants to be live today: sign up, get a key, call the API.

Scope limits, stated plainly

• Ireland, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Latvia, Cyprus, Romania, Croatia, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Colombia, Taiwan, Germany, Ukraine, Serbia, Ecuador, Chile, Mexico, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina and the United States are company-level (no officers); Norway has register-change events only, from 14 Oct 2026 (no gazette).
• Insolvency notices are corporate only, across sixteen markets (FR, DE, GB, AT, CH, NO, FI, US, NL, DK, HR, SE, ES, LV, EE, SG).
• Beneficial ownership is the UK PSC register only; every other registry in scope returns officers and directors, which is not beneficial ownership.
• Sanctions screening is beta; PEP screening is beta and Spain only, with no relatives or close associates. There is no adverse-media product.
• Company monitoring (POST /monitor) covers every live country except France and Chile.

Beyond the registry record

Two derived signals, neither of them a rating. Both are dated facts carrying the source they came from, so whoever reviews your file can check them.

• Companies that stopped filing. A company that quietly stops trading rarely dissolves; the register notices first. The registry_compliance flag returns that state in one shape for Spain (provisional closure of the registry sheet), the United Kingdom (a strike-off proposal, or annual accounts overdue), Ireland (the strike-off list) and Norway (compulsory liquidation). Read it on GET /companies/{id}?include=risk_flags, or list those companies with risk_flag_type=registry_compliance. It is a compliance signal, not an insolvency: read it together with status.
• Public contracts, and the buyer behind them. GET /procurement/awards returns public-contract awards from Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway by supplier, buyer, identifier, CPV code and date, linked to the supplier’s registry record where the identifier resolves. GET /procurement/buyer/{id} scores the contracting body itself: the probability that its next award draws a single bid, and the probability that a supplier it awards to enters insolvency within two years.

Both are ordinary REST calls on the published price and included in the 14-day trial. Procurement awards cover Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland and Norway (Ireland, Poland and Norway above the EU thresholds only), the buyer scores are Spain and France and in beta, and a score is a prompt to look, never a finding of wrongdoing.

FAQ

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 500 credits over 14 days, 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 the European registries Prometiam covers, 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.
