How Cosmetica compares to
consultants & competitors
Cosmetica is an AI-powered cosmetic regulatory compliance platform with verified citations, automated FDA ESG submissions, and published per-SKU or flat annual pricing across 15 markets. Here's how it stacks up against the alternatives most brands evaluate.
Cosmetica vs. Cosmedesk
EU-focused cosmetic compliance platform with credit-based pricing.

FDA submission service charging per facility and per product.
- Pricing
- $1,449/facility + $799/product
- Best for
- Brands with a handful of products that want a service to file once and forget, or foreign manufacturers who need a U.S. Agent role filled.

Why brands choose Cosmetica
Published pricing, no credit math
$1,000 per SKU a year, or a flat annual plan — both published, with no per-credit math. One analysis covers every market selected for that product in a single run, and an updated formula is a new version of the same SKU, not a new SKU.
Verified citations, not hallucinations
Every finding links to the actual SCCS opinion, CIR review, FDA CFR section, EU Annex, or PubMed study. 250+ verified sources.
Direct FDA ESG submission
SPL XML is generated and submitted through the FDA's ESG NextGen API. No portal clicking, no XML hand-editing.
All 15 markets, one platform
US, EU, UK, Canada, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, Brazil, India, Singapore, Thailand, UAE, Mexico, Taiwan. Re-checked when rules change.
Adverse event automation
Adverse-event intake and the 15-business-day deadline are tracked. Cosmetica produces a non-official preparation worksheet; a qualified reviewer must complete and file the official FDA package outside Cosmetica.
Faster than a consultant call
Compliance reports return in minutes, not weeks. Same regulatory rigour, no scheduling friction.
