Cognism
Mark's hot take
“One of the more expensive B2B databases, but the data is very accurate. As it's marketed for more enterprise buyers is best suited for those with larger teams that need to have a more consistent and strict usage policy. In recent years, they've rolled out AI sales companions and buyer signals, and their data enrichment is very good. I've seen that many people have commented that Cognism is strong in EMEA, but there are other tools if you are targeting outside of EMEA. ”
