Cognism review

Cognism is the pick for teams that phone prospects in Europe and need to stay on the right side of calling rules. The company says it cross-checks data against 16 do-not-call lists globally, and its Pro plan adds phone-verified mobile data and on-demand mobile verification, which matters for teams whose day is spent dialing. Both Standard and Pro include five seats, firmographic, technographic and signal-based filters, AI account research, MCP and API access, and CSV enrichment. Pro adds intent data. Credits are simple: one credit reveals one contact, previously revealed contacts are free to view, and the same credits work in the platform, Enrich and the API. The downsides are price visibility and entry size. Cognism does not publish prices, so we could not verify a figure, and five included seats make it a team purchase. CRM enrichment is sold as an add-on rather than included.
