Alethia

Overview

Alethia combines entity and ownership records with documents, filing-deadline tracking and workflows for deals, funds flow and KYC. That makes it more relevant to teams managing investment structures and their supporting processes than to businesses looking only for a basic company register. It supports multi-country structures, with database records and uploaded files stored in Google Cloud’s London region and application servers running in Vercel’s London region.

Key features

Records, ownership and structure charts

Structure charts are generated from entity and ownership records and can be exported to PDF, PowerPoint or Excel. That gives teams a reusable view of a structure for sharing and reporting, rather than requiring them to reconstruct it separately. CSV import covers entities and key fields, which can ease a move from an existing register, though it is not described as a broader system migration tool.

Deal, funds flow and KYC

The deal pipeline tracks six stages and can create a draft holding entity when a deal reaches Heads of Terms. This connects pipeline progress to entity setup, but does not make Alethia a transaction-execution system. Its Foundation funds-flow workflow checks that sources and uses reconcile, then requires someone other than the preparer to approve release. For incoming KYC requests, it breaks requests into requirements, proposes answers with their sources identified and requires a person to approve each answer. These approval gates suit teams seeking accountability around sensitive work; they also keep people in the decision loop rather than automating sign-off.

Bank mandates, audit and AI

Alethia records bank accounts, signatories and mandate controls, but it neither moves money nor displays live payments. Teams needing treasury execution or payment monitoring will need another system. Two-factor authentication is required for every user on every plan, and material changes enter an append-only audit trail. AI can propose answers or drafts for human approval; workspace data is not used to train third-party models or sent to translation tooling. Alethia does not yet hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, a material consideration for buyers with certification requirements.

API and integrations

Enterprise includes Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID directory sign-in, SCIM provisioning, API keys, webhooks and integrations. Its REST API is limited to 1,000 requests per key per 15 minutes, and properties and fund commitments are read-only through the API. That is a meaningful boundary for teams planning to write those records from connected systems. The API and web access make Alethia usable across a stack, but the read-only fields and Enterprise tier for integrations should be weighed against the intended architecture.

Pricing

Alethia uses a freemium model, with paid plans on 12-month commitments and prices excluding VAT. The Free plan costs 0.00 GBP per free, is free forever and caps management at five entities. It includes two-factor authentication, audit history and the general onboarding, register-migration help and email support available on every plan, making it a small-scale evaluation option rather than a broad portfolio tier. There is no free trial.

Registry costs £1,000 per month on an annual basis (£12,000 billed yearly). It includes 100 active managed entities, with each additional entity costing £10/month. It is the stated-price paid option for teams that fit within that allowance or can budget for overages; the annual commitment makes it less suitable for short-term use.

Governance and Enterprise have custom pricing, each with a 12-month commitment and 100 active managed entities included. Additional entities cost £12.50/month on Governance and £15/month on Enterprise. Governance and Enterprise add dedicated onboarding; Enterprise is the tier that includes the stated directory sign-in, provisioning and integration capabilities. Buyers should match the higher per-entity charges and custom terms to the controls or connectivity they need rather than assume the plan names alone define a fit.

Platforms

Alethia is available on web and through an API. Its London-region hosting and required two-factor authentication may suit teams prioritizing regional data storage and baseline account security, while the absence of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification may rule it out for procurement policies that require either certificate.

Who it's for

Alethia is built for private equity firms, real estate investment managers, fund managers, and corporate services, finance, legal and compliance teams. It is strongest where those groups need a shared record of entities and ownership plus controlled document, KYC and funds-flow processes. It is less suitable for teams that need payment movement, live payment status, API write access to properties or fund commitments, or a certified security posture.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Entity and ownership records feed exportable structure charts, giving teams consistent views for PDF, PowerPoint and Excel sharing.
• Pros: Funds-flow release and KYC answers require human approval, while material changes are preserved in an append-only audit trail.
• Pros: Every plan includes onboarding, register-migration help and email support; Governance and Enterprise add dedicated onboarding.
• Cons: Free is capped at five entities, while paid plans commit for 12 months and include 100 active entities before per-entity charges apply.
• Cons: Alethia records mandates but cannot move money or show live payments, so it cannot replace payment operations tooling.
• Cons: Enterprise API access has a request ceiling and is read-only for properties and fund commitments; the product also lacks SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification.

Alternatives

Legal Entity Management Software is the broader category guide for comparing entity-management options. Choose Inform Direct if a free allowance of up to 10 companies and separately charged transactions better match a smaller company-register need. Diligent Audit is another paid option with Android, iOS, API and web platforms; consider it when those platform choices matter.

Commenda may fit teams seeking defined corporate-tax work items, with a typical first set priced at $9,000 USD per contact: intercompany agreements at $1,500, a benchmarking study at $3,000 and a local file at $4,500. Athennian is worth comparing if a $25,000 USD per year Essentials plan with 100 entities, centralized entity management, secure access, custom reporting, structure charts and supported e-filings is a closer fit.

Corporify is an alternative with a Share Register Center covering digital share registers, STAK and certificate registers, UBO management and encrypted private cloud; pricing is on request. EntityFlo offers a free first entity with full feature access and no credit card required, so it may suit a single-entity starting point; its Starter plan is $199.00 AUD per month for up to 25 entities and five users. CSC Corptax is an enterprise corporate-tax software option with pricing by demo request. GlobalBoards is another paid option available on iOS and web.

Verdict

Alethia is a strong candidate for investment and fund teams that want entity records, ownership, compliance and approval workflows tied to an audit trail. Its clearest reason to choose is that connected operational view; its clearest reasons to look elsewhere are the five-entity free cap, annual paid commitments, payment limitations, API read-only fields and lack of SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. Choose it when those boundaries fit the stack and controls your team needs.
