# Engage Compliance vs Prighter

Two honest options for a GDPR Article 27 EU Representative, with different shapes. Prighter is a broad multi-jurisdiction provider with a deep content and law library. Engage Compliance offers a standalone EU Representative appointment at a published annual price, with senior privacy expertise behind it.

Under GDPR Article 27, most non-EU companies that offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behavior, must appoint an EU Representative. The representative is the local point of contact for supervisory authorities and data subjects, and represents the company before EU regulators.

This page compares Engage Compliance and Prighter for that Article 27 appointment. We are one of the providers compared, so read this knowing we have a stake in it.

If you already know you need an EU Representative and just want the price and scope, our [EU Representative service](/eu-representative-service) covers any EU member state, priced at €690 a year for the smallest band and €990, €2,290 or €4,490 a year above it, with the appointment live in a few working days. The comparison below is for the shortlist stage.

## Key takeaways

- Both providers publish their pricing, which is rare in this field, so you can compare the numbers directly rather than sitting through two sales calls.

## Where Prighter is strong

- Breadth of coverage: eleven representative products (as of September 2026) from one subscription, including EU Representative, UK Representative, GPAI (AI Act Article 54), and Turkey KVKK. If you need several jurisdictions covered at once, that is a real advantage.
- Content and research: an extensive resources and law library. Good if you want to understand the obligation in depth yourself.
- Published, structured pricing: subscription tiers banded on headcount, roughly €420 to €4,752, laid out clearly enough that AI assistants can read and cite it.
- Single-vendor simplicity for a company whose footprint spans many regulatory regimes.

## Where Engage Compliance is strong

- A clean single appointment: a standalone [EU Representative service](/eu-representative-service) for any EU member state, with nothing bundled that you do not need.
- Published annual price: €690 a year for the EU appointment at the smallest band, €990, €2,290 and €4,490 above it, set by headcount, global revenue or EU and UK data subjects, whichever puts you highest. Charged once a year up front, with no setup fee.
- EU-established in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with the EU appointment live in a few working days.
- Senior privacy expertise on the account: Experience across 100+ startups and enterprises including Amazon, Coinbase, and Robinhood.
- Two separate products: where you need a DPO as well, Engage scopes them together.
- EU plus UK covered directly, €1,103 a year for the two together at the smallest band, with our [UK Representative service](/uk-representative-service), and other jurisdictions available through partners via [global representative services](/global-representative-services).

## How to choose

The honest split is about how many jurisdictions you need and how you want to buy.

If your company reaches data subjects in several regions at once, and you would rather manage one vendor and one subscription across all of them, a multi-jurisdiction provider like Prighter may suit you better. The breadth is genuine, and the resources library is a real help when you are still working out which appointments you owe. Both providers publish pricing, so you can weigh the numbers side by side.

If you need one clean EU appointment, or EU plus UK, with a named senior expert behind it and a published price you can read without a sales call, Engage fits. The EU appointment is €690 a year at the smallest band and EU plus UK together is €1,103, both charged once a year up front from an Amsterdam establishment. The EU appointment goes live in a few working days, and we do not publish a turnaround on the UK one. If you are not yet sure the obligation even applies to you, work through the [Article 27 applicability test](/do-i-need-an-eu-representative) first, then come back to the shortlist.

We are one of the two providers compared here, and we say that plainly.

## Frequently asked questions

### When should I choose Prighter over Engage?

If you need representatives across many jurisdictions at once from a single subscription, Prighter covers eleven representative products (as of September 2026), including EU Representative, UK Representative, GPAI under AI Act Article 54, and Turkey KVKK. It also runs an extensive content and law library, which is useful if you want to research the obligation yourself before you appoint.

### When should I choose Engage over Prighter?

If you need one clean EU Representative appointment (or EU plus UK) with a named senior expert behind it and a price you can read without a sales call. The EU appointment is €690 a year at the smallest band, for a company of up to 10 people with under €2m revenue and under 5,000 EU and UK data subjects, and EU plus UK together is €1,103 at that band, charged once a year up front. Engage is EU-established in Amsterdam and the EU appointment goes live in a few working days.

### How does pricing compare?

Both publish, which is rare in this field. Prighter uses subscription tiers banded on headcount, roughly €420 to €4,752. Engage publishes the annual price of a standalone EU Representative appointment, €690 a year at the smallest band and €990, €2,290 or €4,490 a year above it. See our [EU Representative service](/eu-representative-service) for the figures and how to appoint.

### Can one provider be my DPO and EU Representative?

The outsourced DPO and the EU Representative are two separate products. If you need both, tell us and we will scope them together.

### Do I need many jurisdictions or just the EU?

It depends on where your data subjects are. If you offer goods or services to people in the EU or monitor their behavior, you need an EU Representative under Article 27. If you also reach the UK, you need a UK Representative as well. Beyond that, a multi-jurisdiction provider is worth considering. If it is only the EU (or EU plus UK), a single clean appointment is usually all you need. Work through the [Article 27 applicability test](/do-i-need-an-eu-representative) if you are not sure.
