Sayari review
By Jan Suski. I go deep on every review, checking every number against its source and digging up details other coverage misses, a habit from six years of SEO and link building for tech companies. Bylines at Surfer, Brand24, and Senuto. How the scoring works.

Sayari builds a graph. A registry source hands back a filing; Sayari resolves entities across ownership layers and trade records and returns the network; the company's own example is automated traversal through "20+ shell companies across 15 jurisdictions" (sayari.com).
Its published scale is 1.5 billion resolved entities, of which 500 million or more are companies, drawn from 12 billion primary-source records across 250-plus jurisdictions, plus 1.8 billion trade and shipment records. Sanctions lists refresh within four hours of a change.
Note the entity count and the company count are different numbers on Sayari's own pages: the rest of the 1.5 billion are people, addresses and other node types. The buyers are compliance, risk, supply-chain & procurement teams, plus government. Sayari claims one in four of the largest global banks and 15-plus US federal agencies (sayari.com/platform).
There is no rate card. sayari.com/pricing/ returns a 404, and the platform page states pricing is "priced to the program, not the token" with a demo request as the only route. Supply Chain Mapping is described as a premium add-on inside Graph with no published figure attached.
Buy it when the question is the ultimate owner of a counterparty across borders. Skip it when you need the registry document itself in one jurisdiction; that is what OpenCorporates is for.
This review is in progress. When published, it will score Sayari against our four-pillar methodology, fit, signal quality, workflow depth, and buyer caution, with hands-on findings, pricing notes, buyer checks, and a clear read on who should shortlist it and who should skip it.
Until then, our company data providers ranking covers Sayari against the other tools in the category. Reviews of D&B Hoovers and Crunchbase are published already.
