Last updated 12 November 2026 · by Venu Gopal Reddy Muvva, founder
Choose IndianFirmData if your work is about Indian listed and LEI-registered companies in your own code or AI agent: enrich by CIN, LEI, ISIN, NSE symbol, website or name, search 87 fields or in plain English, check any CIN, GSTIN, PAN or Udyam number for free, and see the source and age of every field. Choose CompanyData.com if you need one schema across many countries, or Indian private companies, LLPs and directors at scale: its MCA page claims 35M+ Indian businesses with directors (DIN) and financials, and its API plans start at $34 a month billed yearly.
CompanyData.com (formerly BoldData) sells company records from official trade registers worldwide through one API, with an "MCA API" page for India. IndianFirmData is an India-only company data API and MCP server with a named source on every field, free for 3 months.

Who IndianFirmData is best for
Pick IndianFirmData if you build for Indian listed companies, LEI holders and market identifiers, want a named source on every field, and want to start today in rupees with no yearly plan.
When CompanyData.com is the better pick
Pick CompanyData.com if you need companies from many countries in one API, or Indian private companies, LLPs, directors and financials in bulk, and a US-dollar yearly plan suits you.
Where CompanyData.com is better
Many countries in one schema, with corporate hierarchy, contact data, bulk registry feeds and reseller licensing. For India it claims private companies, LLPs and proprietorships with DINs and structured financials, which IndianFirmData does not have. It also has an MCP server and a rate limit of 50 requests a second on every plan.
Where IndianFirmData is better
Indian market identifiers it doesn't mention: ISIN, NSE symbol and Nifty index membership, plus free offline checks of any CIN, GSTIN, PAN or Udyam number. Every field names its source, licence and age. You pay in rupees, at cost, only for what you use, with no yearly commitment, and ?dry_run=true shows the cost of any call first.
Where IndianFirmData falls short
IndianFirmData does not hold MCA master data, financial statements, charges or director (DIN) data, so many unlisted private companies and LLPs are missing. It covers India only.

Which one has ISIN and NSE symbol lookup?
IndianFirmData enriches by ISIN and NSE symbol. We did not find either on the CompanyData.com pages we read.
CompanyData.com facts from companydata.com/company-data-api, companydata.com/pricing (API Integration tab, yearly billing) and companydata.com/mca-api, checked 12 Nov 2026. Its own pages give two India counts (35M+ and 38.7M) and two free-start offers; we show both. Not stated means we did not find it on those pages.
