What it really is
Cognism — a B2B sales intelligence platform providing phone-verified contacts, intent signals, and CRM enrichment.
Our take
Cognism focuses on accurate, compliance-checked B2B contact data, with particular strength in Europe. Standard covers core prospecting: contact and company data, list building with firmographic, technographic and signal filters, AI account research, CSV enrichment and MCP and API access. Pro adds a premium mobile filter, on-demand mobile verification and intent data. CRM Enrichment is an add-on or a standalone product. All prices are quoted by sales.
Why we rate it
Cognism's compliance-first approach and verified data quality make it a strong choice for teams prioritizing data accuracy and regulatory adherence.
The catch
There is no public price list and no free trial, so you have to go through sales to learn the cost. Usage runs on credits, so heavy list building means buying extra credits.
Moderate: Requires sales engagement and onboarding before full utilization.
Scale breakpoint
Each package includes 5 seats and a credit allocation per seat; larger teams and heavy list builders need more seats or extra credits.
Walled garden
Moderate: Integrates with major CRMs but may have limitations with less common tools.
