Enigma vs North Data
Both stand on company databases. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Enigma combines business identity links, observed activity and government records, with access through an API, Console or MCP. A free plan is available, while included credits on paid plans expire each month rather than carrying over.
Visit EnigmaChoose North Data for European company information, flexible search options and an API that queries company, person and publication records. Premium is relevant when deeper information, exports or monitoring are needed. Look elsewhere if your required coverage depends on unregistered businesses or country-specific data that is unavailable.
