Where Cognism fits

GDPR-compliant phone-verified contacts, strongest in EMEA. First pick when you need mobile numbers for EMEA campaigns.

Limitations to account for

Coverage varies by geography, company size and persona. A database record is not evidence of buying intent or permission to contact.

Compare the full operating cost

Include seats, credits, exports, integration work and the time your team spends resolving exceptions. Compare the same workload across options; a starting subscription price is not a complete budget.

Who this guide is for

  • Founders building an in-house outbound motion
  • RevOps evaluating data vendors
  • SDR leaders auditing an existing stack
  • Agencies standardising delivery tooling
