Why pay for Belgian company data that is public
The registers are free and they are the source of everything Addrly shows. What you pay for is the time they cost you: one place instead of four, figures you can compare, acts you do not have to read, and alerts when something changes.
Addrly and the free official registers
The official portals are the reference, and every Addrly dossier links back to them. They answer one question at a time.
| What you need | With the free registers | With Addrly |
|---|---|---|
| Find a company and its status | Public Search of the BCE/KBO, one company at a time | Search by name, number, city or activity, with lists and saved searches |
| Read its annual accounts | One filing per year to download from the National Bank | Several years side by side, with an explained health score |
| Follow its Official Gazette acts | Scanned PDFs to open one by one | Acts read into dated events you can filter |
| Know when something changes | Check again yourself | A daily digest by e-mail or webhook |
| Use the data in your own tools | Open data files and separate APIs to assemble | One REST API and a Python SDK, on the same plan |
Addrly and the Belgian risk platforms
Established platforms cover more countries and add services such as KYC screening. Addrly goes deeper on Belgium: an explained score, the Official Gazette read into events, an API included in the plan and a free plan that renews every month.
For addresses: Addrly or a global geocoder
A global geocoder is built for maps. Addrly is built on the official Belgian address reference and knows which companies sit at each address.
| Criterion | Addrly | Global geocoders |
|---|---|---|
| Built on the official BOSA BeSt Address reference | ||
| Linked to the Belgian company register (BCE/KBO) | ||
| Address and companies at that address in one call | ||
| Company dossier: accounts, score, directors | ||
| Reverse geocoding and routing |
