BikeRegister vs Stop Heling

Compare features and find the best bike registration service for you

Stop Heling is operated by Dutch National Police as a database of reported stolen goods, including bicycles. Its main use case is verifying whether a second-hand item has been reported stolen — a useful tool for buyers and police, but not a proactive registration platform.

Because Stop Heling only applies after theft has been reported, it offers no pre-registration or ownership documentation. BikeGuard takes a proactive approach: register before theft, attach a visible QR sticker to deter thieves, and automatically alert a global database the moment your bike is stolen.
