When Dealmayker is a Better Alternative to Cognism
You need intelligence about fit, not just contact data
When you have access to millions of contacts but struggle to identify which ones truly match your ICP, semantic matching finds the right prospects that demographic filters miss. Focus on the 400 leads that fit perfectly rather than searching through 400M contacts manually.
Your ICP can't be captured by standard filters
If your ideal customers use non-standard job titles or your value prop targets specific pain points and contexts, semantic understanding beats rigid demographic search. Dealmayker finds prospects based on why they need your solution, not just their job title and company size.
You want to know when prospects are actually in-market
When timing is critical and you need more than website visit data, real-time intent signals (hiring for specific roles, funding rounds, product launches, competitive signals) help you engage when prospects are ready to buy. Dealmayker monitors actual buying triggers, not just engagement.
Do less busywork. Close more deals.
Dealmayker turns your ICP, leads, and accounts into daily activation insights - who to talk to, what to say, and why they’re ready now.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main difference between Cognism and Dealmayker?
Cognism is a B2B contact database with 400M+ profiles focused on providing phone-verified mobile numbers and GDPR-compliant data. Dealmayker is a sales intelligence engine that understands your ICP semantically and automatically finds, qualifies, and monitors the right leads with context. Cognism gives you data; Dealmayker gives you intelligence about who's ready to buy.
Can I use Dealmayker with Cognism?
Yes! Many teams use Dealmayker to intelligently discover and qualify leads, then use Cognism to get verified contact details for those qualified leads. This ensures you only spend Cognism credits on leads that actually fit your ICP and are showing buying signals, saving significant money on data costs.
Does Dealmayker have as many contacts as Cognism?
Dealmayker isn't a contact database - we focus on finding the right leads, not the most leads. We use semantic matching to discover highly relevant prospects that traditional demographic filters miss, then provide rich context about why they fit and when to reach out. Quality over quantity.
Is Dealmayker GDPR compliant like Cognism?
Yes. Dealmayker uses publicly available data and doesn't store personal contact information. We focus on intelligence (ICP fit, buying signals, conversation starters) rather than data collection. For actual contact details, you can use Cognism or other compliant data providers on the leads we qualify.
How does semantic search compare to Cognism's filters?
Cognism uses rigid demographic filters (job title, company size, industry, location). Dealmayker understands meaning and context - if you're looking for 'companies scaling their sales team,' we find leads even if they say 'expanding revenue operations' or 'hiring SDRs.' You discover opportunities Cognism's filters miss.
Why is Dealmayker so much cheaper than Cognism?
Cognism charges premium prices ($1,000+/month) for maintaining a massive proprietary contact database with phone verification. Dealmayker focuses on intelligence and qualification rather than data collection, allowing us to offer powerful sales intelligence starting at $29/month with no annual commitments or minimums.
Can Dealmayker replace Cognism for European teams?
It depends on your needs. If you need phone-verified mobile numbers at scale, keep Cognism for data but add Dealmayker for intelligence. Many European teams use Dealmayker to qualify leads, then get contact details only for qualified prospects, dramatically reducing their Cognism spend while improving targeting.
How does Dealmayker's intent data compare to Cognism's?
Cognism's intent data focuses on website visits and technographic changes. Dealmayker monitors hiring patterns, funding announcements, product launches, competitive moves, and pain point signals from multiple sources. This gives you deeper context about when leads are actually ready to engage, not just when they visited a website.
