Different tools for different jobs
Cognism is built for gdpr-compliant eu prospecting with phone-verified data. Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence platform specializing in GDPR-compliant phone-verified contact data for UK and European markets.
Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) serves a different purpose: crm enrichment inside hubspot enterprise. Clearbit was acquired by HubSpot and rebranded as Breeze Intelligence. It now exclusively enriches HubSpot contacts within Marketing Hub Pro/Enterprise tiers.
💶 Pricing comparison
Cognism ($200–$1,000+/month (negotiated)) is significantly more accessible than Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) at Bundled in HubSpot Pro ($890/month+).
20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year. Neither Cognism nor Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) is designed to continuously monitor your existing CRM for job changes and update records automatically — that's a different tool category.
🇪🇺 GDPR and data compliance

For European teams or those with EU customers requiring documented sub-processor chains, the compliance posture of your enrichment vendor matters. Make sure to request a DPA and sub-processor list before committing.
