Nothing — every check includes the full platform: credit score, background check, financial ratios, Gazette screening, AI news search, and PDF export. The first 3 checks are free; after that you buy credits as you need them, from £10 for 5 analyses down to £1.20 each in the 50-pack. No subscription, and credits never expire.
Yes — a free account (email + password, or Google sign-in) unlocks your 3 free checks, saves your analysis history, and enables PDF export. No credit card is asked for at any point during sign-up.
FinancialInsight sources data from free UK government APIs (Companies House, The Gazette, OFSI, HMRC) rather than purchasing data from commercial bureaus. This eliminates the per-report data cost that forces traditional credit agencies to charge much more per report.
Every new account includes 3 free credit checks. Each check is a full analysis — credit score, ratios, background check, Gazette screening, and AI news search. When you need more, credit packs start at £10 for 5 analyses and go as low as £1.20 per analysis. Credits never expire.
