Netstate

Alternatives · Middesk

A Middesk alternative built on the open record.

Middesk is built to verify businesses inside an onboarding flow. Netstate is built for the research around it: search the registries yourself, read cited profiles, watch the companies you care about — with published self-serve pricing.

Where the two differ

If you are embedding KYB checks into a product's signup flow, a verification API like Middesk's is designed for exactly that. Netstate solves the adjacent problem: a person on your team needs to read the record — registration, standing, officers, liens, licenses, federal history — and decide.

The other difference is how you start. Netstate's search and company profiles are open in the browser before you create an account, and both plans are self-serve with published prices. You can evaluate the data on the actual companies you deal with before paying anything.
