Cognism

Cognism is a B2B database supplying verified business contact details (email and mobile), buying intent signals and CRM file enrichment. The editor claims strong coverage on Europe and the EMEA region, a differentiator against US vendors often weaker outside North America. The prospecting offer breaks into two plans, Standard and Pro, each including 5 licenses, supplemented by a CRM enrichment module and data delivery (Data-as-a-Service) whose price depends on volume and delivery method. No amounts are published on the pricing page: everything goes through a quote based on a credit model where one credit equals one contact revealed.

The official website exists in French (cognism.com/fr) and the editor puts compliance at the center: it announces alignment with EU data protection rules and automatic deletion of numbers registered on Do-Not-Call or similar opt-out lists, a point rarely handled by US databases and structuring for teams calling prospects in Europe. An API and native connectors link Cognism to Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesloft and Outreach, plus a browser extension for LinkedIn. The limits: no public pricing, annual commitment with a 5-license floor that de facto excludes solo founders, and phone number quality varying by country and sector.
