Best European Sales Intelligence

Looking for a GDPR-compliant alternative to ZoomInfo, Apollo.io or Clearbit? European sales intelligence tools find and enrich the B2B contact and company data a sales team prospects from, whether by identifying companies already visiting your website or by searching a contact database, while keeping the data itself under EU jurisdiction.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect the order in which tools appear; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways

  • Leadfeeder ranks #1 among the European sales intelligence tools in this directory, because Leadfeeder is the only one with a permanent free tier (Lite, up to 100 identified companies a month) next to published prices on every paid plan.
  • Leadinfo, SalesViewer, Albacross and LeadBoxer work by identifying companies already visiting your website, while Cognism, Kaspr, Vainu and Dropcontact supply contact and company data for outbound prospecting, so the two groups answer different questions.
  • LeadBoxer and Leadfeeder are the only two tools here with a free plan that has no time limit on identifying visitors, and Kaspr adds a free plan for contact lookup.
  • Vainu is the only deliberately regional database in the category: its data covers Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden from each country's own registries and news, and it is priced from roughly €3,500 a year.
  • Ten of the eleven tools are established inside the EU, across Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Belgium, France, Sweden and Estonia; Cognism is the exception, a British company covered by an adequacy decision rather than by EU establishment.

European sales intelligence software is software built and operated by companies established in Europe that tells a sales team which companies and people to approach and when, by identifying the organisations visiting a website, supplying company and contact data, or finding and verifying business emails and phone numbers, so that the personal data involved is processed by a European processor under European law.

Every European sales-intelligence-software tool reviewed

#1 Leadfeeder

Karlsruhe, Germany (additional office in Helsinki, Finland) Founded 2022 Free Lite tier; paid plans from €79/month Lite is always free; 14-day full-feature trial on paid tiers

Best for: Small B2B teams that want to read their website traffic before spending

  • Operating company. Dealfront Group GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. EU data hosting
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, Clearbit

Leadfeeder is the current brand of what was marketed as Dealfront from 2022 to 2025, the platform formed when Echobot, a German B2B data company in Karlsruhe, merged with Leadfeeder, a Finnish visitor identification company.

The legal entity remains Dealfront Group GmbH, a German GmbH with offices in Karlsruhe and Helsinki. The core mechanism is website visitor identification: anonymous traffic is decoded into named companies, then layered with real-time alerts, CRM pushes and, on higher tiers, verified contacts and intent filters.

Pricing runs from a genuinely free Lite plan, with unlimited users and up to 100 identified companies a month, through Discover from €79 a month, Activate from €369 and Scale from €599, with a custom Enterprise tier above. All paid tiers include a 14-day full-feature trial. The trade-off is that the value is inbound: Leadfeeder shows who is already looking at your site rather than letting you search a database from a standing start.

What Leadfeeder does well

  • Permanent free Lite tier, not a disguised trial
  • German GmbH with EU data hosting
  • Published prices at every paid tier
  • Catches active buying interest a cold database cannot show
  • Built from two established European data companies

Where Leadfeeder falls short

  • Verified contacts reserved for Activate and above
  • Credit-based pricing climbs with high-volume enrichment
  • The 2022 merger was funded by US private equity
  • Inbound only, no outbound prospect search

Standout feature. The free Lite tier is a real, permanent plan, which makes Leadfeeder the lowest-risk way to start reading website traffic.

#2 Leadinfo

Capelle aan den IJssel, Netherlands From €69/month (annual), published tiers 14-day free trial, no credit card required

Best for: Dutch and Benelux teams that want visitors tied to decision-makers

  • Operating company. Leadinfo (part of teamblue)
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
  • Where the data sits. EU
  • Independent checks. ISO 27001
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, Clearbit

Leadinfo is a Dutch sales intelligence platform headquartered in Capelle aan den IJssel, near Rotterdam, and operated as part of teamblue, a Dutch and Belgian SaaS group. Its core product identifies which companies visit a website and connects that traffic to a database of more than 300 million decision-makers, so a rep sees which company visited and who to contact there without switching to a separate prospecting tool.

Pricing is published and tiered by the number of identified companies rather than seats: Starter is €69 a month billed annually for up to 100 identified companies, Scale is €159 and Pro is €359, rising to higher volume tiers. The company holds ISO 27001 certification alongside GDPR compliance, and every tier includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card. The founding year is not published on the vendor's own site.

What Leadinfo does well

  • Published tiered pricing from €69/month
  • 300M+ decision-maker database tied to visitors
  • ISO 27001 certified
  • 14-day trial on every tier, no card
  • Dutch operator under EU law

Where Leadinfo falls short

  • Only surfaces companies that already visited
  • Mobile numbers and unlimited seats only on Pro
  • Headline price climbs with traffic volume
  • Founding year not published

Standout feature. A decision-maker database wired straight into visitor identification, so the contact appears next to the company.

#3 Vainu

Helsinki, Finland Founded 2013 From roughly €3,500/year, quoted by volume and seats No published free tier

Best for: Sales teams selling into Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden

  • Operating company. Vainu.io Oy
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Finland)
  • Where the data sits. EU data hosting
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, Cognism

Vainu is a Helsinki company and contact database built around a narrow bet: rather than chasing global coverage it goes deep on the four Nordic markets, pulling from local business registries, news, job postings and filings in each country's own language. Vainu.io Oy has built the product since 2013, which makes it one of the longer-established vendors in this category.

Intent signals come from local sources such as news mentions, hiring patterns and public filings that a pan-European or US-built database typically covers more thinly. Pricing is not published as a rate card: it starts from roughly €3,500 a year and scales with data volume and seats, quoted after a sales conversation. For a team outside the Nordics, Vainu offers little, and for a team inside them that focus is the whole point.

What Vainu does well

  • Deep local-language Nordic coverage
  • Finnish company under GDPR with EU hosting
  • Operating since 2013
  • Intent signals from local news, hiring and filings

Where Vainu falls short

  • No published pricing, every deal starts with a call
  • No free tier
  • Nordic only, wrong for any other market
  • Priced for teams with a data budget

Standout feature. Local-language data depth across all four Nordic markets, sourced from each country's own registries and news.

#4 Overloop

Brussels, Belgium Founded 2015 From $69/user/month, published tiers 7-day free trial

Best for: Outbound teams that want prospecting and sequencing in one tool

  • Operating company. Overloop SRL
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Belgium)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Outreach, Apollo.io, Salesloft

Overloop is a Brussels-based sales prospecting and multichannel outreach platform. Vincenzo Ruggiero, still CEO, started it in 2015 as a Chrome extension called Prospect.io; it was later rebranded Overloop and is now operated by Overloop SRL. The product is built around a self-reported database of more than 450 million contacts, with automated email and LinkedIn campaigns, email verification and CRM integrations for HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive.

Pricing is published in three tiers: Starter at $69 per user per month, Growth at $99, and a custom Enterprise tier, with credits per user that make the effective cost per prospect harder to compare against flat per-seat tools. A 7-day free trial is available. Overloop sits closer to sales engagement than to visitor identification, which is why it overlaps with the sales engagement category on this site.

What Overloop does well

  • Longest operating history in the category
  • Self-reported 450M+ contact database built in
  • Published tiered pricing
  • HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive integrations

Where Overloop falls short

  • Credit pricing is hard to compare across tools
  • Only a 7-day free trial
  • Salesforce integration and support reserved for Enterprise
  • Prices in USD despite the Belgian entity

Standout feature. A contact database and outreach sequencer in one product, from a Belgian company that has run since 2015.

#5 SalesViewer

Bochum, Germany Founded 2010 From €99/month, scaling with identified-visitor volume Demo on request

Best for: German and DACH marketing teams that want visitor identification at a modest price

  • Operating company. SalesViewer GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. EU data hosting
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, Clearbit

SalesViewer is a Bochum-based website visitor identification tool built by SalesViewer GmbH since 2010, one of the longer-running vendors in this category. Like Leadinfo and Leadfeeder, it decodes anonymous traffic into named visiting companies rather than searching a pre-built database of contacts.

Once a company is identified, SalesViewer layers on behavioural tracking of pages, duration and frequency, lead scoring and CRM integrations. Plans start from €99 a month and scale with identified visitor volume. There is no published free tier, and evaluation goes through a demo rather than a self-serve trial, which is a step behind Leadfeeder and Leadinfo on ease of trying.

What SalesViewer does well

  • Accessible entry price at €99/month
  • German company under GDPR with EU hosting
  • Operating since 2010
  • Behavioural tracking beyond a company name

Where SalesViewer falls short

  • No published free tier, demo only
  • Identifies only companies already on your site
  • Individual contact details are limited
  • Price rises with identified-visitor volume

Standout feature. A long-established German visitor identification tool with an accessible entry price and behavioural tracking layered on top.

#6 Cognism

London, United Kingdom Founded 2015 Quote-based: Standard and Pro plans with 5 seats included, credits per seat Demo on request

Best for: Outbound teams that need compliant mobile numbers across many countries

  • Operating company. Cognism Limited
  • Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
  • Independent checks. ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 2 Type II
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. ZoomInfo, Lusha, Apollo.io

Cognism is a London B2B data company whose product is a searchable database of contacts and companies with firmographic, technographic and signal-based filters. The entity behind it is Cognism Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 09392705, incorporated in 2015. Its privacy policy names Cognism d.o.o. in Croatia as a joint controller. The company also lists an office in Boston, Massachusetts, but the contracting entity named in its privacy policy is the British one.

What Cognism emphasises is compliance. It states that it screens its telephone database against Do Not Call lists in the UK, US, Germany, France and several other countries, holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and SOC 2 Type II, and notifies business contacts of their inclusion in its database. Pricing is not published: Standard and Pro plans include five seats, with credits per seat and CRM enrichment as an add-on, all quoted after a conversation.

The trade-off is the usual one for a data-first vendor: it is built for teams with a budget line for data, and it is the only tool in this category established outside the EU, covered by the UK adequacy decision rather than by EU establishment.

What Cognism does well

  • Do Not Call screening across many countries
  • ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and SOC 2 Type II stated
  • Mobile numbers and intent signals on Pro
  • CRM enrichment, API and MCP access
  • Documented opt-out through a Privacy Centre

Where Cognism falls short

  • Pricing is quote-only
  • British, not EU-established
  • Priced for larger teams with a data budget
  • US office alongside the UK entity

Standout feature. Compliance as the product: phone data screened against Do Not Call lists in several countries, backed by ISO 27701 and SOC 2.

#7 Kaspr

Paris, France Founded 2018 Free plan; Starter from €45/user/month, Business from €79/user/month; Organization (annual, minimum 5 users) and Enterprise on request Free plan with monthly credits

Best for: Individual reps and small teams that need phone numbers from LinkedIn

  • Operating company. KASPR SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Lusha, ZoomInfo, Apollo.io

Kaspr is a Paris contact finder, operated by KASPR SAS, a simplified joint-stock company registered at the Paris trade register under number 843 898 396 since 2018 and part of Cognism.

The product is a Chrome extension that surfaces phone numbers and emails directly on a LinkedIn profile, with a dashboard to manage leads, CSV enrichment and, on paid plans, Sales Navigator support. The company states a database of more than 500 million verified phone numbers and emails drawn from over 150 sources.

Kaspr is the only tool here that combines a free plan with phone numbers: Free gives 15 B2B email, 5 phone and 5 direct email credits a month. Starter is €45 per user per month with unlimited B2B email and 1,200 phone credits a year, and Business is €79 with 2,400 phone credits. The terms are governed by French law, with the courts of Paris holding jurisdiction.

What Kaspr does well

  • Free plan with phone credits
  • Paris entity under French law
  • Unlimited B2B email credits on paid plans
  • Works inside LinkedIn and Sales Navigator
  • Low per-seat entry price

Where Kaspr falls short

  • Phone credits are capped per year
  • Part of Cognism, a UK group
  • No published certification
  • Heavily dependent on LinkedIn access

Standout feature. The cheapest route to LinkedIn phone numbers from a French company, with a free plan to test it.

#8 Dropcontact

Aulnay-sous-Bois, France Founded 2016 Starter €79/month, Growth €120/month, Enterprise on request 50 free credits

Best for: Teams that want clean CRM data without buying a contact database

  • Operating company. Dropcontact SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Hunter, ZoomInfo, Clearbit

Dropcontact is a French email finder and enrichment service operated by Dropcontact SAS, a simplified joint-stock company registered in Bobigny under number 823 752 647 since 2016, with its registered office in Aulnay-sous-Bois. Its pitch is a different data model: it states that it uses proprietary algorithms and test servers to find, verify and validate contact data, and that no personal information is stored or resold, unlike tools built on a personal database.

From a first name, last name and website it returns a verified email address, and it can enrich, deduplicate and update records in HubSpot and Pipedrive, with Salesforce and Zoho listed as coming. It also adds company data such as the SIREN number and the intra-community VAT number. Starter is €79 a month, Growth is €120 a month with credit carry-over and LinkedIn enrichment, and a 20 percent discount applies to yearly billing.

The trade-off is scope. Dropcontact finds and cleans, it does not prospect: there is no searchable database of leads, and the CRM integration suite is priced separately on request.

What Dropcontact does well

  • Says it keeps no personal contact database
  • Verifies emails with its own technology
  • CRM cleaning, deduplication and enrichment
  • Adds SIREN and VAT data for French companies
  • French entity under French law

Where Dropcontact falls short

  • No lead search or prospect list building
  • CRM integration plan priced separately on request
  • Credit tier behind each price is not shown
  • Strongest for French and EU companies

Standout feature. Enrichment that states it keeps no contact database, which changes the consent question for European buyers.

#9 Albacross

Stockholm, Sweden Starter €59/month and Professional €149/month billed annually (€84 and €213 month to month); Organisation on request 14-day free trial, no credit card required

Best for: Teams that want visitor identification wired into outreach sequences

  • Operating company. Albacross Nordic AB
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Sweden)
  • Where the data sits. Servers in Ireland
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Leadfeeder, ZoomInfo, Clearbit

Albacross is a Stockholm website visitor identification platform operated by Albacross Nordic AB, organisation number 556942-7338, with its address at Malmskillnadsgatan 42. Its privacy policy states that information is stored on servers located in Ireland, which keeps processing inside the EU. The product identifies companies visiting a site, shows which pages they read, and groups visitors with AI segmentation based on behaviour, engagement and off-site activity.

What separates it from the pure visitor tools is the outreach layer: high-intent prospects can be engaged with email and LinkedIn sequences from the same product. Pricing is published in euros: Starter is €59 a month billed annually (€84 monthly) for up to 100 identified companies, Professional is €149 (€213) for up to 500, and the Organisation plan is quoted. A 14-day free trial needs no credit card, but there is no permanent free plan.

What Albacross does well

  • Published euro pricing on two tiers
  • Data stored on servers in Ireland, stated in privacy policy
  • Visitor identification plus outreach sequences
  • AI segmentation by behaviour and intent
  • 14-day trial without a credit card

Where Albacross falls short

  • No permanent free plan
  • Organisation plan is quote-only
  • Plans cap identified companies per month
  • Founding date and certifications not published

Standout feature. Visitor identification and automated email and LinkedIn outreach in a single Swedish product.

#10 LeadBoxer

Amsterdam, Netherlands Founded 2008 Free plan with 25,000 credits/month; Starter €99/month, Growth €199/month, Scale €399/month billed annually; pay-as-you-go from €0.0025 per credit Free forever plan; 14-day free trial of paid plans, no credit card required

Best for: Technical teams that want usage-based visitor data and an API

  • Operating company. LeadBoxer B.V.
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Leadfeeder, ZoomInfo, Clearbit

LeadBoxer is a B2B signals platform from LeadBoxer B.V., a Dutch company headquartered in Amsterdam whose three founders started it in 2008. It identifies companies and people visiting a website, reads email opens and clicks, enriches the results and scores leads against an ideal customer profile. Alongside the app it sells the platform as a data and API layer, which suits product teams, RevOps and agencies building their own workflows.

Pricing is credit-based and published. A free plan includes 25,000 credits a month forever; Starter is €99 a month billed annually for 100,000 credits, Growth is €199 for 250,000 and Scale is €399 for 1,000,000, and pay-as-you-go runs from €0.0025 per credit. Identifying a visitor IP costs 20 credits and contact enrichment 50. Paid plans include a 14-day free trial without a credit card.

What LeadBoxer does well

  • Free plan with 25,000 credits, no time limit
  • Published pay-as-you-go and plan pricing
  • Platform and API, not only an app
  • Dutch company, Amsterdam headquarters
  • Email open and click tracking included

Where LeadBoxer falls short

  • Credit arithmetic takes work to forecast
  • Less guided than app-first tools
  • Hosting location not stated on the pages checked
  • No published certification

Standout feature. A permanent free tier and per-credit pricing on a platform that doubles as an API for visitor data.

#11 Evaboot

Tallinn, Estonia From $29/month for 400 credits; $49 for 1,000; $99 for 3,000; credits roll over

Best for: Reps who build prospect lists in LinkedIn Sales Navigator

  • Operating company. Nademode OÜ
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Estonia)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Phantombuster, Lusha, Apollo.io

Evaboot is an Estonian Chrome extension and service operated by Nademode OÜ, registered in the Estonian Business Register under number 17128164 at Jõe tn 3-301 in Tallinn.

It exports a LinkedIn Sales Navigator search in one click, cleans the result and finds and verifies the email address of each lead, so a rep leaves with a tidy list rather than a raw scrape. It also offers URL enrichment, a standalone email finder and verifier, bulk upload, an API, Zapier and n8n integrations and an MCP connection for AI agents.

Pricing is credit-based and published in US dollars: $29 a month for 400 credits, $49 for 1,000 and $99 for 3,000, with unused credits rolling over and unlimited seats sharing one balance. One exported lead costs one credit with the verified email included, and a lead with no email found still costs a credit. Evaboot does not find phone numbers, and it needs a LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription of its own.

What Evaboot does well

  • One-click Sales Navigator export
  • Verified email included in each credit
  • Credits roll over, unlimited seats
  • Estonian entity with register number stated
  • API and MCP for automation

Where Evaboot falls short

  • Needs a separate Sales Navigator subscription
  • No phone number search
  • Prices in US dollars
  • Leads with no email found still cost a credit

Standout feature. A narrow tool done well: turns a Sales Navigator search into a verified lead list in one click, from an Estonian company.

What is the difference between visitor identification and a contact database?

Visitor identification tells you who is already looking at you. Leadfeeder, Leadinfo, SalesViewer, Albacross and LeadBoxer decode traffic on your own website into named companies, then show which pages they read and how often. The signal is inbound, so it is strong, but it only exists for companies that found you.

A contact database answers the opposite question: who should we call that has never heard of us. Cognism, Kaspr, Vainu and Dropcontact sit on that side, supplying contacts, mobile numbers and verified emails for accounts you pick. The signal is weaker per record, and the volume is bigger.

Most teams end up wanting both, and several vendors now bundle a database into the visitor tool. Leadinfo, for instance, attaches a decision-maker database to each identified visitor, so a rep sees who to contact at the company that just visited.

How does the jurisdiction of a sales intelligence vendor matter for GDPR?

Sales intelligence is unusual because the vendor processes personal data about people who are not its customers. A contact database holds names, job titles and phone numbers of individuals who never signed up, and a visitor tool maps IP addresses to organisations. Under the GDPR the vendor must have a lawful basis, normally legitimate interest, and must inform the individuals.

A vendor established in the EU is supervised by an EU authority and processes inside the EEA, so the customer does not need a transfer assessment. Cognism is British, which sits under the UK adequacy decision. Kaspr belongs to Cognism but is a separate French company, and its terms are governed by French law with the courts of Paris holding jurisdiction.

Where the vendor also exposes an opt-out route, as Cognism does through its Privacy Centre, a data subject can exercise their rights without going through the customer. That is a practical point to check before buying.

Which tool fits a team with a small budget?

Start with the free tiers. LeadBoxer gives 25,000 credits a month at no cost, enough to identify around 1,250 visitor IPs at 20 credits each, and Leadfeeder Lite covers up to 100 identified companies a month with unlimited users. Kaspr has a free plan for contact lookup with a small monthly credit allowance.

For paid entry, Albacross starts at €59 a month on an annual plan, Leadinfo at €69 and Leadfeeder Discover at €79, while SalesViewer starts at €99 and scales with visitor volume. Evaboot starts at $29 a month for 400 credits and is the cheapest route to a clean LinkedIn Sales Navigator export with verified emails.

Cognism and Vainu are priced for teams with a budget line for data: Cognism on quote with five seats included, and Vainu from roughly €3,500 a year.

When is a regional database better than a pan-European one?

A regional database wins when the market you sell into is the market it was built for. Vainu goes deep on Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, using local registries, news, job postings and filings in each language, which a global database typically covers more thinly.

Cognism takes the opposite approach: broad coverage, mobile numbers and phone numbers screened against Do Not Call lists in the UK, US and several EU countries, so it suits a team prospecting across many markets.

The honest limit is that Vainu is close to useless outside the Nordics, and Cognism is weaker on the long tail of small local companies than a local register-fed tool is. Pick on where your accounts are.

What does it cost to enrich a CRM, and which tool does it?

Enrichment is priced per credit. Dropcontact charges €79 a month for the Starter plan and €120 for Growth, which adds credit carry-over and LinkedIn enrichment, and it states that it does not rely on third-party verification services or keep a personal contact database. Cognism sells CRM enrichment as an add-on to its prospecting plans.

Evaboot and Kaspr sit upstream of the CRM: they extract and verify contacts from LinkedIn, then push them on. Evaboot charges one credit per exported lead with the verified email included, and does not find phone numbers.

The hidden cost in all of them is credit consumption at volume. Check how a credit is spent before comparing headline prices.

How we selected and ranked these 11 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

Leadfeeder holds #1 among the European sales intelligence tools in this directory, because Leadfeeder is the only one with a permanent free tier alongside published prices on every paid plan. The right answer depends on the job: Leadinfo for a Dutch visitor tool with a decision-maker database, Vainu for the Nordic markets, Cognism for mobile numbers across many countries, Dropcontact for CRM enrichment, and Evaboot for exporting LinkedIn Sales Navigator lists.

Leadfeeder offers the Lite plan with unlimited users and up to 100 identified companies a month. LeadBoxer has a free plan with 25,000 credits a month. Kaspr has a free plan with 15 B2B email, 5 phone and 5 direct email credits a month. Dropcontact gives 50 free credits to test, and Albacross and Leadinfo offer a 14-day free trial without a credit card.

It can be, because these tools identify companies from IP addresses rather than individuals, and the lawful basis is usually legitimate interest. Whether it is lawful for you depends on how you use the data, what your cookie consent allows and whether you can honour an objection. A European vendor removes the international transfer question, but not your own accountability as controller.

Only Cognism, which is a British company registered in England and Wales and covered by the UK adequacy decision. The other ten tools are established in Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Belgium, France, Sweden and Estonia. Kaspr is French, though it is part of Cognism.

Cognism and Kaspr are the two built around mobile and direct phone numbers. Cognism states that it screens its telephone data against Do Not Call lists in the UK, US and several European countries, while Kaspr states a database of over 500 million phone numbers and emails and sells phone credits on top of unlimited B2B email credits in its paid plans.

Yes. Leadfeeder Lite, LeadBoxer, Kaspr, Dropcontact and Evaboot can all be started without speaking to sales. Cognism and Vainu are quote-based and require a conversation, and SalesViewer offers a demo rather than a self-serve trial.

Leadfeeder is the current brand of the platform that was marketed as Dealfront from 2022 to 2025, formed by merging Echobot in Germany and Leadfeeder in Finland. The legal entity is still Dealfront Group GmbH in Karlsruhe, and the 2022 merger was funded by the US private equity firm Great Hill Partners.

Evaboot and Kaspr both work from LinkedIn. Evaboot exports Sales Navigator searches with verified emails in one click, and Kaspr adds a Chrome extension that finds contact data on profiles and supports Sales Navigator on its paid plans. Both require your own LinkedIn account, and extracting data from LinkedIn is a point to check against LinkedIn's own terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Leadfeeder ranks #1 in this directory because it is the only tool in the category with a genuine, permanent free tier alongside published pricing on every paid plan. The right answer still depends on the job: Leadinfo for a straightforward Dutch visitor-ID tool, Vainu for deep Nordic-only data no pan-European database matches, Overloop for outbound multichannel sequencing on top of contact data, and SalesViewer for the most accessible entry price.

All eleven tools in this category are built as European alternatives to ZoomInfo, Apollo.io and Clearbit. Three of them — Leadfeeder, Leadinfo and SalesViewer — work by identifying companies already visiting your website rather than searching a pre-built outbound database, which is a genuinely different workflow worth understanding before switching. Vainu and Overloop are closer to the outbound-database model, with Vainu focused specifically on the Nordics.

Leadfeeder starts with a genuinely free Lite plan and moves to paid plans from €79/month. Leadinfo starts from €69/month, SalesViewer from €99/month, and Overloop from $69/user/month, all with published tiers. Vainu is the outlier: pricing starts from roughly €3,500 a year and is quoted rather than published as a self-serve rate card.

Leadfeeder is the only tool here with a genuine, permanent free tier — unlimited users and up to 100 identified companies a month, not a time-limited trial. Leadinfo, Overloop and SalesViewer all offer free trials instead of a permanent free plan; Vainu has no free tier or trial stated.

Website-visitor identification — used by Leadfeeder, Leadinfo and SalesViewer — decodes anonymous traffic on your own website back into named visiting companies, telling you who is already showing interest. A contact database, closer to how Vainu and Overloop work, is searched from a standing start by job title, industry or company size to find people who have not necessarily shown any interest yet. They answer different questions and often get used together rather than as substitutes.

Vainu, built specifically around Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, pulling from each country's own business registries, news and job postings in the local language — coverage a pan-European or US-built database typically cannot match in depth, though it comes at the cost of being useless outside those four markets.
