Reviews across the web
Prospeo is a newer email finder with a strong G2 profile (4.6 across ~437 reviews) and a reputation for accuracy and low bounce rates, especially on LinkedIn-based workflows. The main friction points in negative reviews are credit consumption on bulk jobs that return few matches, and slow support on billing issues. Note that Prospeo publishes many comparison pages about competitors, so third-party coverage of the space often traces back to its own content.
Full roundup →Cognism scores well with buyers (4.5 on G2 across ~1,200 reviews, 4.7 on Capterra) and is the community's default recommendation for GDPR-compliant European data and verified mobile numbers. The consistent knocks are expensive, opaque pricing that shuts out small teams, weaker US coverage, and the gap between the headline accuracy claim and the full database. Data-subject privacy complaints drive a much lower Trustpilot score.
