Direct & Verified Lusha prioritizes getting you in touch with your contacts directly.

Actionable Warm up your outbound by layering excellent data and buyer intent WITH proactive job change alerts for maximum actionability.
Excellent GDPR compliant and ISO 27701 accredited, CCPA compliant. We don't cut corners with trust.
European Coverage Strong coverage in Europe, though sometimes direct contact information is lacking. APAC contact data seems to not be as robust.
Includes HQ & other unverified numbers Not all of Cognism s profiles contain direct phone numbers; often, they settle for HQ numbers (or none at all). Their database includes unverified and incomplete data, and on-demand verification is an expensive add on.
Average Cognism claims daily database updates, but faces freshness issues: users complain that data is still not up-to-date.
Sufficient Data and buyer intent are actionable, but job change information is not as dynamic.
Good on the surface Self-declared GDPR Compliant. Not ISO 27701 certified by an accredited body..
