Honest comparison

    LemReveal vs searching the official register yourself

    Every record LemReveal returns comes from a national register that you can also search directly, for free, on the registry's own website. The difference is not the data — it is what happens around it.

    When searching the official register yourself is the better choice

    • A one-off check on a single company in a country whose register you already know
    • Filings, accounts and documents that only the register itself publishes
    • Anything with a legal effect, where the register's own certified extract is required

    What LemReveal adds

    • One search box across 40+ countries instead of 40+ registry interfaces and languages
    • A dated snapshot of what the register said, kept as evidence with the source URL on it
    • Field-level diffs and email alerts when the record later changes
    • Bulk lookup by list, and machine-readable JSON for the same record

    Questions

    Is LemReveal data different from the register's data?

    No. LemReveal queries the official register and shows what it returns, with the source register named on every record. Where a live official connector is not available for a country, the record is labelled as coming from a mirrored dataset or from GLEIF rather than from the register directly.

    Should I still use the register directly?

    Yes, for filings, accounts and anything requiring a certified extract. LemReveal is for the repeated part: checking many companies across many countries and keeping those checks current.
