What is Cognism?

Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence platform from a London-based vendor. It gives sales, marketing and RevOps teams verified contact and company data, buying signals and CRM enrichment, with AI search and AI company research inside the prospecting tool.

Cognism combines a prospecting database for contact and company search with phone-verified mobile numbers, signals such as hiring, funding, job changes and intent data, CSV enrichment and a CRM Enrichment product that keeps records in Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Microsoft Dynamics current. A Chrome extension works alongside these CRMs and sales engagement tools such as Outreach and Salesloft, and an MCP server and API pass the data to AI assistants and internal workflows.

The operating company is Cognism Ltd in London. The vendor states that more than 4,000 revenue teams use the platform and addresses small, mid-market and enterprise sales teams. A team of five sellers is the smallest plan size.

Cognism AI features and use cases

  • Searches prospects in plain languageAI Search in the Prospector turns a typed or spoken request into search filters for contacts and companies. The help center marks the feature as beta. New users reach relevant lists without learning every filter, and experienced reps build target lists faster.
  • Researches target accountsAI company research shows recent news, funding activity, key competitors, hiring trends, technology stack and firmographic details for a company inside the platform. Reps prepare calls and emails without switching between websites, databases and news searches.
  • Feeds data into AI assistantsThrough the MCP server and API, AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT and internal tools query Cognism data directly. Revenue teams can enrich or research contacts from the assistant they already use, while credits count the revealed contacts.

What sets Cognism apart

  • Phone data is screened against several Do Not Call registries, including the UK TPS and CTPS and lists in Germany and France.
  • Plans include five seats; one credit reveals one contact and works across prospecting, CRM enrichment and the API.
  • Certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701, with a SOC 2 Type II report covering security and availability.

Where Cognism is strongest

United Kingdom Available internationally

The operating company Cognism Ltd is based in London. The vendor sells the platform internationally and, by its own account, centers it on European contact data.

Questions to ask before you buy Cognism

Prices are only quoted on request, and plans start at five seats. Cognism processes business contact data under legitimate interest and notifies contacts itself, but your own outreach still needs a lawful basis under UK GDPR and PECR or the EU GDPR. The DPA is part of the terms for enrichment services. Ask where your account data is hosted, since the security page names AWS without a region.
