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.

Seamless.AI serves a different purpose: ai-powered contact finding and email verification. Seamless.AI is a B2B sales intelligence platform using AI to provide real-time contact data, verified emails, and direct dials for sales teams.

💶 Pricing comparison

Both Cognism ($200–$1,000+/month (negotiated)) and Seamless.AI (From $147/month) are in a similar pricing tier.

20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year. Neither Cognism nor Seamless.AI 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. Seamless.AI claims GDPR compliance but relies on US infrastructure.

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
