When choosing a B2B data provider, it’s important to understand their processes and the work that goes on behind the scenes to obtain legal, compliant and effective data.
Are they compliant? How do they gather their data, and does this result in effective data? Are there any red flags that should concern you?
Below we’ve looked at some of our individual B2B Data competitors to produce a B2B Data Providers Comparison so that you can make an informed choice. We’ve also got a B2B Data Providers Comparison PDF you can download and more detailed individual comparisons are available here:

We are the only B2B data provider with an in-house research team of native speakers – other data providers use web-spiders and most of the time rely on technology, not real people, which limits accuracy and quality.
We have a greater depth of job roles than our competitors, ranging from decision making CIOs to influencers like IT developers. This is important so you can get your products in front of more potential decision makers rather than guessing which single contact you need in an organisation.
We specialise in providing data for B2B companies. We have data from over 300 vertical markets, covering both enterprise and public sector organisations.
Our B2B database is the only opt-in B2B database available. This makes our B2B data the most GDPR compliant. What’s more, the vast majority of our competitors are not GDPR compliant outside the UK which is a big problem if you’re looking for overseas data.
Our competitors lack European coverage and quality. Most have only offered European data for 5 or 6 years. We’ve been providing EMEA B2B data for over 25 years.
We own all of our own B2B data. A lot of other B2B data providers don’t own 100% of their data as they aggregate other data sources.
We support you by providing an experienced support team who are there when you need them. They have the experience and the knowledge that’s required. They know the data laws so you don’t have to and they can also support you with marketing advice – they know what works. For example they can tell you all about the importance of targeting and segmenting data.

We’ve got individual B2B Data Providers comparisons here:
“98% mobile phone number accuracy.”
This applies only to a specific data set from this company and would have required the manual verification of 6.5k mobile phone numbers per working day or 822 per hour! No mention of how these contacts are kept up-to-date and then there’s the issue of compliance.
“The Best & Most Trusted Data.”
This company acquires their data by scanning online sources, buying data and extracted data from user email software. This means they have no control over the accuracy or compliance of this 3rd party acquired data.
“The freshest data you can find.”
An interesting claim from this company because updates are NOT provided when specific contact records change. This means data quickly becomes outdated & inaccurate.
“Powered by the highest standard of data practices from collection to verification.”
This company primarily acquires data through automated extraction from its 2 million+ users, who must link their business email and calendar to gain full access to the platform. Additionally, they use algorithms to crawl and extract data from public-facing websites at scale, while also purchasing data from third-party providers. Of concern, although they assert that all contacts are notified when added to the database, testing indicates that these notification emails are not being sent as claimed which is a major compliance breach.
You’ll get 30 days full access to our entire EMEA B2B database to look up as many contacts and companies as you want. No credit card is required and no commitment to continue past the 30 days.
