Cognism alternative when your prospects are local businesses

Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence provider focused on Europe, offering contact and company data, phone-verified mobile numbers, intent data from Bombora, CRM enrichment, an API and integrations such as Salesforce and HubSpot. It also owns Kaspr. Prices are quoted per team: plans include seats and credits, where one credit reveals one contact and re-viewing a revealed contact is free.

LeadsIt does not sell a database of people. Type a business type and a city and it searches public business listings live, then visits each website for the emails, phones and social links the business publishes. That fits local prospecting, where the owner of a shop, practice or trade is reached through the business’s own number and inbox.

Can I use LeadsIt and Cognism together?

Yes. Cognism covers named decision-makers in larger companies; LeadsIt covers local businesses found by trade and city. A team selling to both segments can keep each list separate and export LeadsIt results as CSV or through the API.

Does LeadsIt find mobile numbers of decision-makers?

No. LeadsIt returns the phone numbers, emails and social links a business publishes on its listing or own website. It does not look up personal mobiles or private profiles, only public business contacts.

Is B2B prospecting with LeadsIt GDPR-friendly?

LeadsIt only uses public, professional business data hosted in the EU. In France, the CNIL allows B2B emails to a professional address without prior consent if the message relates to the recipient’s job and includes an easy opt-out. You remain responsible for how you send.
