CompanyData.com vs Frankfurter: common questions

Which is more reliable, CompanyData.com or Frankfurter?

Only Frankfurter is on our probe schedule so far (—% uptime over 90 days). The other is catalogued but not yet live-checked, so we can't compare measured reliability head-to-head — check the uncovered API's own status page for now.

Do CompanyData.com and Frankfurter need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — CompanyData.com is callable with no signup, and Frankfurter is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call CompanyData.com and Frankfurter from the browser?

Yes — both CompanyData.com and Frankfurter send CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch either directly with no backend proxy. That makes them easy to swap in a client-side app while you compare responses.

Are CompanyData.com and Frankfurter free for commercial use?

CompanyData.com has unclear commercial terms, and Frankfurter allows commercial use on its free tier. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
