North Data review
A strong free option for European company financial and ownership research.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
North Data is a company-information platform for researching companies, people, publications, ownership relationships, representatives, events, and corporate networks. It is best suited to analysts, researchers, and businesses that need financial, legal, ownership, and master-data research, particularly across European markets. Search tools cover geographic, legal-form, legal-status, industry, performance-indicator, and event criteria, giving users several ways to narrow company records.
The freemium structure makes core company research accessible through a free plan. The published offering describes premium services that add extended datasets, advanced search, exports, monitoring, and higher usage limits. That makes North Data suitable for starting with individual research and moving toward broader or more frequent workflows when the additional services fit the need. The product focuses on company intelligence rather than presenting itself as a general sales or contact database.
North Data also fits workflows that need structured access or repeatable monitoring. Its web platform supports company and list exports, while the API can query companies, persons, and publications in JSON or XML. Dossiers combine company information and publications, and monitoring provides change notifications. Coverage includes company information from 26 European countries, with feature availability varying by country, so it is a better choice for European corporate research than for globally uniform coverage. Teams seeking financial statements, ownership connections, company networks, and public-register information should consider it; teams primarily seeking contact or intent data should choose a more specialized alternative.
