Detailed Review

Zeotap is a Berlin-registered company (zeotap GmbH, HRB 158127 B, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg) founded in 2014, and its Composable CDP is the purest CDP-first product among the European options on this page: the company builds identity resolution, audience enrichment and cross-channel activation, and little else.

Its most distinctive move is architectural rather than featural — the product is now available as a Snowflake Native App, so the CDP logic can run directly inside a customer's own Snowflake warehouse rather than requiring customer data to be copied into a separate vendor-hosted profile store.

That matters for exactly the buyer who is usually skeptical of packaged CDPs: a data team that has already invested in modelling customer tables in a warehouse and does not want a second system of record.

Zeotap's public materials cite recognition as a G2 High Performer in the Enterprise CDP category for 2026 and a Google Cloud Partner designation, alongside a June 2025 corporate restructuring that spun off a separate entity, zeotap Data GmbH, and a September 2025 change in chief executive.

The trade-off is transparency of a different kind: Zeotap publishes no pricing anywhere on its site, and no free trial is advertised, so a buyer cannot size the cost of a deployment without a sales conversation.

For a European consumer brand or publisher that already runs Snowflake and wants identity resolution without a second data store, that is a reasonable price for architectural fit; for a small team wanting to self-serve a plan and see a number first, it is a real gap.

What Zeotap does well

  • Genuinely CDP-first: identity resolution, enrichment and activation are the whole product, not a module inside a larger suite
  • Available as a Snowflake Native App, running inside a customer's own warehouse rather than a separate vendor-hosted store
  • Genuinely EU-based (Berlin) with EU (Germany) jurisdiction
  • G2 High Performer, Enterprise CDP category, 2026 (vendor-reported recognition)

Where Zeotap falls short

  • No published pricing anywhere — every deployment starts with a sales call
  • No free trial advertised, unlike Piwik PRO in this same category
  • Went through a corporate restructuring (a June 2025 spin-off of zeotap Data GmbH) and a CEO change in September 2025 — worth asking about directly during procurement
  • Historically strongest in Europe and India; reference customers elsewhere are harder to find

Standout feature. Running as a Snowflake Native App: for a data team that already models customer tables in its own warehouse, Zeotap's identity resolution and activation layer can sit inside that same environment instead of becoming a second, vendor-controlled copy of the data.
