How we're different: Cognism Vs Apollo

AI-powered signals

AI-powered signal data and smart contact suggestions remove the guesswork for your reps - helping them reach the right decision-makers at the right time, with the right context.

Enterprise-ready

Cognism is best for Mid-Market and Enterprise sales, marketing, RevOps and GTMOps teams operating across Europe. Trusted thanks to SOC 2 accreditations, TPS & DNC screening across 15 countries.

50%

increase in team performance

“In the evaluation process, we compared Cognism against five other competitors. We naturally expected Cognism’s data not to perform as well as the others, as it is a UK-based company. However, our results showed that the coverage of US mobile data far outperformed the others.”
