Cognism, the sales intelligence platform built for European revenue teams, holds the highest G2 Score of any product on G2's Europe Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence Software for Autumn 2026.

G2's scoring is based on verified user reviews and market presence data, according to G2's methodology. To qualify, a product needs at least 10 reviews from users in the Europe region, collected as of 28 July 2026. Cognism's 759 European reviews – more than any other product in the category – contributed to a G2 Score of 88 and a Satisfaction score of 100, the maximum G2 awards.

What this means for Cognism

"Our ambition is clear: to lead the mid-market and enterprise sales data and intelligence market in Europe. Being ranked highest by G2 Score in the category is an important validation of the progress we're making.

"What makes it especially meaningful is that it comes from customers – 759 verified European reviews and the highest possible Satisfaction score. Mid-market and enterprise revenue teams need more than access to data; they need accurate, compliant intelligence they can trust and confidently put to work. That's the standard we're building Cognism around."

— Dominic Allon, CEO at Cognism

* Products are ordered by G2 Score. Satisfaction score is used as a tiebreaker if two products have the same G2 Score.

The comparison highlights a distinction in G2's Europe category results: Market Presence and customer satisfaction are separate measures within G2's methodology. In this report, Cognism received the maximum Satisfaction score awarded by G2.

For Cognism, that distinction supports the idea of being fluent in data. Fluency in data is not about claiming to have the largest database or the broadest market footprint. It is about helping European revenue teams understand which data they can trust, where it drives the most value, and how it fits into the workflows they already rely on.

In practical terms, that means accurate, compliant data that sellers and revenue teams can act on with confidence.
