Choose by where your sales work really begins.

Cognism is a strong fit for established EMEA revenue teams that prioritise phone-verified contact data, enterprise integrations, and a mature sales-intelligence suite. Leadbase is designed for teams whose first question is whether an account truly belongs in their ICP.

Use Leadbase when your market definition depends on evidence that does not live in a fixed dropdown: a company signal, a job pattern, a commercial trigger, or an answer researched from public sources. Qualify that account list first, then enrich the people worth contacting.

The fair pilot is one named ICP, one region, the same role requirements, and a shared acceptance rule. Measure accepted accounts, reachable decision makers, manual research time, and total cost instead of comparing a single headline metric.
