Honest comparison

    LemReveal vs the Companies House follow service

    Companies House lets you follow a UK company for free and emails you when new filings appear. It is the most direct alternative for UK-only monitoring — and for a single UK company it may be all you need.

    When the Companies House follow service is the better choice

    • Monitoring a small number of UK companies at no cost
    • Filing notifications straight from the register itself

    What LemReveal adds

    • Countries beyond the UK in one watchlist
    • Field-level diffs — name, status, registered address, legal form, officers — not just 'a filing appeared'
    • A stored history you can look back through and export
    • Webhooks and a shared workspace rather than one inbox

    Questions

    Why pay when Companies House follow is free?

    For one or two UK companies, don't. LemReveal is worth it when you watch companies in more than one country, need to see exactly which field changed, or need that history stored and exportable for an audit file.
