— FAQ

Common questions

If you're evaluating Nordic Data against Proff Premium, these are the answers most teams ask first.

How does Nordic Data differ from Proff API?

Proff API requires a sales call, contract and enterprise pricing. Nordic Data is self-serve: API key in 60 seconds, from €0 free to €499/month for production. We also include EU R&D funding, all public-contract awards, sanctions screening, LEI codes, logos and descriptions, and a native MCP server — none of which Proff delivers.

What does it cost compared to Proff?

Nordic Data starts at €0 (5,000 requests/month). Starter is €29/month, Builder €99, Pro €149, Business €499. Proff API is enterprise-priced — typically €500+/month with an annual contract and a sales call required.

What's the best alternative to Proff.no for company data?

Nordic Data is an open, self-serve alternative to Proff. Same Norwegian company foundation from Brønnøysund, but delivered as a developer API with no sales call, with native MCP support for AI agents. Free tier from minute one.

Does Nordic Data include credit rating and payment remarks like Proff?

No. Credit rating, payment remarks and PEP screening require commercial data licences from Bisnode/Experian/OpenSanctions that we don't carry yet. If you need those specifically, Proff Premium covers them. For everything else — identity, accounts, officers, ownership, sanctions, public contracts — Nordic Data is faster, more open, and dramatically cheaper.

Why does Nordic Data have public-contract data Proff doesn't?

We index Doffin directly — including all Norwegian municipal tenders below the EU threshold that don't appear on TED. Most providers expose only the EU-threshold subset. We expose both.

Can AI agents subscribe and pay autonomously?

Yes. Our /agent/subscribe endpoint lets an agent enrol, select a plan, and pay via Stripe — without a human in the loop. Combined with the MCP server, an agent can discover, subscribe, and start enriching companies in under a minute.
