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.

Datagma serves a different purpose: email and phone finder via api and chrome extension. Datagma is a B2B contact data platform providing email and phone number lookups via API and Chrome extension, with European data processing.

💶 Pricing comparison

Datagma (From $59/month) is priced lower than Cognism at $200–$1,000+/month (negotiated).

20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year. Neither Cognism nor Datagma 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

Cognism has a stronger GDPR posture — GDPR-first, TPS/CTPS verified. Datagma claims GDPR compliance but has limited documentation available.

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.

Neither fits perfectly? A third option worth knowing
