Limitguard vs OpenSanctions

Prices as checked on the dates shown. Limitguard's company, KYB, risk and deep checks query OpenSanctions live for their sanctions and PEP data, so this is a comparison of buying the data directly against buying a bundled check. Lead validation, the sanctions screen and sanctions alerts do not use OpenSanctions: they use the official OFAC, EU and UN lists.

Lead validation for sales teams

Limitguard helps NL and BE B2B teams check whether a lead is a real, active company before outreach. For a comparison focused on sales lists, see contact-data tools and the Apify B2B Lead Verifier. Lead Verify checks one Dutch or Belgian lead per call; see its price. The tables below compare the API company checks.

Where Limitguard is not the cheaper choice

If all you need is sanctions, PEP and watchlist matching, and you can run the matching and scoring yourself, the OpenSanctions API is cheaper per query than a fresh Limitguard check. For non-commercial use, OpenSanctions data is licensed under CC BY-NC.
