TL;DR. illion is a credit bureau with PPSR layered in. Same shape as CreditorWatch - strong on credit monitoring and scoring; PPSR is bundled. If you primarily need credit data, illion. If you primarily need PPSR + ABN at a workflow layer, Hoist - though Hoist is built for API and MCP workflows (sample data only); live checks and paid plans are handled through API access. See /trust/afsa-b2g/.
When to pick illion
- You need credit reports and consumer/commercial scores.

When to pick Hoist Assets
- You are doing transactional PPSR and ABN diligence without credit-bureau needs.
- You want your AI tool of choice to call the source and get back an Evidence Pack.
- You want MCP, public API, or CLI access.
