Cognism

Last reviewed: 2026-05-23

Our take

Cognism is the right pick if EMEA is your market — phone data quality crushes ZoomInfo for UK/DE/FR. For NA-only SaaS, Apollo's data is now within 10% at 1/3 cost. The compliance angle matters if you sell into regulated industries (banking, healthcare) where GDPR mistakes are existential. Otherwise Apollo or hybrid Apollo+ZoomInfo wins.

Who it's for: EMEA-focused SaaS sales teams. Compliance-sensitive verticals.

Pricing

Custom

Custom quote. Platinum ~$15k-25k/year for small teams. Diamond (premium phone) higher. No SMB self-serve.
