Same Brønnøysund foundation, no annual contract, no sales call. Self-serve from €0/month. Nordic Data delivers the company-data signals Norwegian B2B teams actually use — plus sanctions screening, public-contract awards, EU R&D grants, AI summaries, and native MCP support that Bisnode doesn't offer.
Bisnode (now part of Dun & Bradstreet) sells enterprise contracts starting at €12,000–€500,000/year. Nordic Data delivers the same Norwegian company foundation as a self-serve API from €0/mo, with broader Nordic-public-data coverage on top.

If you're evaluating Nordic Data against Bisnode, these are the answers most teams ask first.
Bisnode (now D&B) sells enterprise contracts with annual commitments, sales calls, and procurement cycles. Nordic Data is self-serve: API key in 60 seconds, free tier from €0/mo, all data exposed as REST + native MCP. We also include sanctions screening, all Norwegian public-contract awards (including sub-EU threshold), EU R&D grants, and AI summaries — none of which Bisnode ships.
Nordic Data starts at €0 (5,000 requests/month). Pro €149/mo, Business €499/mo. Bisnode's cheapest credit-risk subscriptions start at €12,000/year, require annual contracts, and scale to €500,000+ for enterprise deployments. For most KYB, sales-ops, and research use cases, Nordic Data is 90–99% cheaper at equivalent data depth.
No, not yet. Credit rating and payment remarks require commercial data licences from Experian/Bisnode/Creditreform that we don't carry. Everything else — identity, accounts, officers, shareholders, sanctions, public-contracts, R&D funding, LEI codes — Nordic Data delivers, often more comprehensively than Bisnode.
No procurement cycle. Sign up with email, get a key in 60 seconds, paste it as X-API-Key header, hit the REST endpoints. Or install the MCP server in Claude Desktop with one click — your AI agent calls the same data without writing client code. Most teams have us in production same-day.
If your Bisnode use is identity + accounts + officers + shareholders, you can replace the API surface in a day. We provide a migration script that maps Bisnode field names to ours. If you depend on Bisnode's credit rating or payment-remarks data specifically, keep them for that and use Nordic Data for everything else — most teams end up halving their Bisnode bill within a quarter.
Yes. The /companies/{orgnr}/contact snapshot returns identity, officers, beneficial owners (from Aksjonærregisteret), sanctions hits across OFAC SDN + EU consolidated + UN, and LEI codes in one sub-200 ms call. Production-ready for AML5/6 onboarding flows.
5,000 requests/month, all read endpoints, native MCP, no card. Cancel any time via the API or customer portal.
