UC Alternative

An honest comparison for teams weighing UC against Prometiam for Swedish company data by API. UC AB, part of Enento Group since 2018, describes itself as a leader in business and credit information: company and personal credit reports, a risk class and risk forecast on companies, payment remarks, financial statements, beneficial-owner and compliance data, and APIs. Prometiam is the register-record API: an organisationsnummer, a Swedish VAT number or a name in, the Bolagsverket record out. All UC facts on this page were read on its own sites on 30 September 2026.

Where UC is ahead

Credit risk. UC's risk class runs from 1 (highest risk) to 5 (lowest) and estimates the probability that a company becomes insolvent within a year, calculated from official sources such as Kronofogden, Bolagsverket and Skatteverket; a credit limit is included for limited companies, and payment remarks show for three years from registration. Prometiam has no credit scores and no payment remarks. Company depth: financial statements and key figures, board and group connections, ownership structure and beneficial owners. Personal credit information for companies with a legitimate need. Credit reports on foreign companies. PEP and sanctions lists for AML and KYC. JSON and REST APIs, with CRM and master-data integrations.

Where Prometiam is ahead

A price you can see and start on, without a conversation. Prometiam publishes every tier from a 14-day trial (1,000 API calls, no credit card) through Starter at €9.99 a month (10,000 calls) and Professional at €29.99 (100,000) to Scale at €99.99 (1,000,000), monthly, no contract. UC's integrations are set up as customised solutions with UC, and we do not quote its prices. The official record, validated: the organisationsnummer check digit and third-digit rule, the SE VAT alias and the register's status and dates, in the same response shape as every other registry the API covers.

Sweden on Prometiam

Company records from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket): legal name, legal form, status, registered address, activity code and dates; no officers, no corporate-event stream, no monitoring, no registry-compliance signal and no insolvency notices, and sole traders (enskild näringsverksamhet) are never served.

Built for the API-native workflow

If your workflow is a lookup, resolving a customer's identifier or a few typed letters into a company record for an onboarding form, an invoice or a CRM row: every registry identifier is one parameter — NIF/CIF, SIREN/SIRET, Companies House number, CRO number, KRS number, organisasjonsnummer, Y-tunnus, organisationsnummer and each other registry's own number — and ?name= is a normalised partial match a type-ahead field can call on every keystroke, across one schema for all live countries. Auth is one bearer key; rate limits scale 10 to 600 requests/minute by tier. A TypeScript SDK (prometiam-risk-api on npm) and an MCP server (prometiam-risk-mcp, also at /mcp) are both published; no Python SDK yet. Hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). Free identifier lookup tools, including an organisationsnummer lookup, run the same call without a key.

Frequently asked questions

Does UC have an API?
Yes. UC publishes APIs for business information (company reports) and personal information, built on JSON and REST, with a developer portal at developerportal.uc.se, CRM and master-data integrations, and APIs for monitoring the beneficial-owner register (uc.se, read 30 September 2026). It also builds customised integrations with a customer's own systems. Prometiam is an API from the first call: one bearer key and one response shape across every live country.
What does UC cost?
We do not quote UC prices. Its help pages (uc.se, read 30 September 2026) say some credit reports can be bought directly on the site without a contract, paid by card or by invoice through Klarna, and integrations are set up as customised solutions with UC. Prometiam publishes every tier: a 14-day trial with 1,000 API calls and no credit card, then Starter 9.99 euros, Professional 29.99 euros and Scale 99.99 euros a month.
What is UC risk class?
UC has five risk classes, where 1 is the highest risk and 5 the lowest risk of insolvency (bankruptcy, distraint or business reconstruction) within one year. The risk forecast is calculated from official sources such as Kronofogden, Bolagsverket and Skatteverket, and limited companies, partnerships, limited partnerships and sole proprietorships are classified (uc.se, read 30 September 2026). Prometiam has no credit scores or risk classes.
Does Prometiam have UC-style credit reports, payment remarks or personal credit information?
No. Sweden is company-level: legal name, legal form, status, registered address, activity code and dates, with no officers, no corporate-event stream, no monitoring, no registry-compliance signal and no insolvency notices, and sole traders are never served. There are no credit scores, no payment remarks, no financial statements and no data about individuals. For those, UC is the better tool.
Who owns UC, and how does it relate to Allabolag and Asiakastieto?
UC has been part of Enento Group since July 2018, and Allabolag has been owned by UC since 2013. Enento's own site names its local brands as Asiakastieto in Finland, UC and Allabolag in Sweden, and Proff in Norway and Denmark (uc.se, allabolag.se and enento.com, read 30 September 2026). See our comparisons of Allabolag and Asiakastieto.
Can I use UC and Prometiam together?
Yes, and many teams should: UC for the credit decision and the risk class on a Swedish counterparty, Prometiam for the register record, organisationsnummer and VAT validation and one response shape across the other live countries.
