Grand vs Dun & Bradstreet: which fits modern credit risk?
Whether you're scaling credit operations or tightening risk controls, find out why credit teams are choosing Grand over D&B for continuous, AI-explained intelligence.
How Grand compares to Dun & Bradstreet
Everything you'd expect plus deep corporate structure, full director history and behaviour, and business momentum signals across finance, operations, commerce, digital and social analysis.
Vast global coverage anchored on the DUNS Number, with strong corporate-linkage data. Director-behaviour and momentum layers are limited compared to a modern intelligence platform.
Every assessment ships with plain-English reasoning, source-cited evidence, and confidence labels per output — buyers see exactly which filings, signals and events drove the assessment, and how confident Grand is in each one.
PAYDEX, Failure Score and Delinquency Predictor scores with limited customer-facing reasoning.
60-second profile refresh, plus daily early-signal alerts that catch profile changes before they hit Companies House.
Daily to multi-day batch refresh on monitored accounts. No early-signal feed for data outside of Companies-House, Gazette and Courts.
Report bad profiles to the Grand network so others monitoring the same business get alerted. Step-up requests for financial, commerce and declarative data when the signal decisioning isn't strong enough — Grand verifies what's returned before it lands in the file.
Data-provider model — no equivalent bad-profile reporting network among customers, and no in-product step-up workflow for financial, commerce or declarative data.
KYB, director ID verification, beneficial-ownership discovery, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media, approval workflows — bundled free with every paid Grand plan.
Sold as separate D&B products (Compliance, Onboarding, Third-Party Risk Management) on top of the base credit intelligence subscription.
Ask any question of a profile and get an analyst-style answer with the affected blocks, suggested next questions, and a recommended action. Grand AI never invents facts and never makes the credit decision — it interprets data and helps humans decide.
Recent generative-AI features gated to enterprise tiers. No conversational analyst layer that lets buyers ask questions of a profile and get bounded answers.
60-second signup. Full product available with no sales call. Upgrades and downgrades self-managed inside the app.
Heavily sales-led. Most product access requires speaking to an account executive.
Published online: Pay as you go is free, Core £49/mo, Team £169/mo, Growth £699/mo, Scale £2,329/mo.
Quote-based enterprise contracts, typically annual or multi-year. No published price points for new buyers.

Dun & Bradstreet is the default for large enterprises that need global corporate-linkage data and the DUNS Number as a vendor identifier. Grand is built differently — richer signal layers (network, momentum, director behaviour) verified at source, AI that explains every assessment, and onboarding and compliance bundled in. If you need a global ID layer across thousands of subsidiaries, D&B is still the standard. If you want continuous portfolio intelligence built on data the bureaus don't capture, plus AI you can interrogate, Grand is the modern alternative.
