Alternative to Spend Network
Arcadium Data compared with Spend Network
Spend Network: A UK company that collects and publishes procurement data and sells API access to it. This page sets what they publish next to what we publish. Every cell on their side links to the public page it comes from and was checked on 2026-10-25. Where we could not find a fact it says "Not published", which means we did not find it on the pages we checked, not that it does not exist. Companies change their pages; if something here is out of date, write to [email protected] and we correct it.

Where we differ
- A free key and a €49 plan to start; the €5,000 a year API entry on their page is about two years of our €199 plan.
- EU-wide plus UK, company domains and register ids on the winners.
- An MCP server and OpenAPI 3.1 contract.
- Company-level data only: no personal data.
What Spend Network offers that we do not
- An established UK procurement dataset. We have not verified their geography or history depth, so we do not compare them on it.
Coverage by country and history depth: coverage. Sources and licences: data sources. Our datasets hold company-level data only, no personal data.
