RecoupIQ vs Red Flag Alert.
Same signals. Different finish line.
Red Flag Alert spots distress. RecoupIQ spots distress and finishes the job, explaining the evidence behind the public evidence sources, making the evidence boundary clear, and helping the accountable person decide. If you have a credit-control team that reads dashboards, Red Flag’s portfolio depth is real. If you’re a founder or finance lead who needs a verdict in 90 seconds and the evidence explained for you, RecoupIQ is built for that.

- you can’t justify an annual sales-call subscription
Frequently asked
What does Red Flag Alert do?
Red Flag Alert is a UK distress-signal monitoring platform: it watches Companies House, the London Gazette, the disqualification register and related public sources for early warnings on UK Ltd counterparties, then surfaces them in a dashboard for credit-control teams to action. It is widely used by lenders, insurers, and large corporates.
What does RecoupIQ do that Red Flag Alert doesn't?
Decision context. RecoupIQ links the signal to the underlying public evidence, makes uncertainty visible, and gives the accountable person clear questions to verify. Red Flag Alert focuses on the alert; RecoupIQ helps the person decide what to investigate next.
What does Red Flag Alert do that RecoupIQ doesn't?
Portfolio-scale monitoring optimised for credit-control teams. If you have hundreds of UK Ltd counterparties on watch and a team of analysts reviewing them daily, Red Flag's dashboard depth is mature. RecoupIQ is built for the founder or finance lead who needs a verdict on a small number of counterparties before signing, not a full portfolio view.
How does pricing compare?
Red Flag Alert pricing is not published and is quoted as an annual subscription via a sales call. RecoupIQ is published and self-serve: £29 for a Quick Check on one counterparty, £167 for a Forensic Report. For an agency or finance lead running a handful of checks a month, RecoupIQ is meaningfully cheaper and faster to start using.
Are they reading the same data?
Largely yes, Companies House filings, the London Gazette, the disqualification register, and HMRC defaulter signals are public UK registers that both platforms ingest. The differentiation is what each does with those signals: Red Flag Alert ranks and dashboards; RecoupIQ links the evidence to a human decision and monitoring plan.
