What it really isCognism — a B2B sales intelligence platform providing phone-verified contacts, intent signals, and CRM enrichment.
Our takeCognism 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 itCognism's compliance-first approach and verified data quality make it a strong choice for teams prioritizing data accuracy and regulatory adherence.
The catchThere 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.
