How Dutiful compares

Company Reports: reliable checks, fast, and open to agents over x402. Here is how that compares to the bureaus and to doing it yourself.

Dutiful Company Report - ready in minutes

• One report, one-off payment. No account, no subscription, no sales call.
• Official public sources only: company registries, the OFAC SDN and UK sanctions lists, and public news and web.
• Free coverage check before payment - you are only asked to pay once we confirm we can cover the company.
• Ready in minutes. People use the form; AI agents use the documented x402 API.
• Coverage: 12 countries across Europe, Israel and North America (partial in the US and Canada) - full list on Sources, always shown before payment. No refunds.

Business-information bureaus

(Dun & Bradstreet, Creditsafe, Moody's Orbis and similar)

• Deeper data: financial statements, credit scores and limits, group structures, ongoing monitoring and alerts.
• Sold mostly as annual subscriptions, often through a sales process; single-report prices are rarely published.
• The right tool for credit decisions, ongoing compliance and portfolio monitoring.

Do it yourself

• The registries and sanctions lists we use are free to search.
• The cost is your time: every country's register works differently, some publish in other languages or scripts, and you assemble and cross-check the picture yourself.

Bottom line. If you need credit scores, financial statements or monitoring, use a bureau. If you want to know who you are dealing with before you sign, that is the check we do. See a real sample report.
