--- title: "Which B2B Data Provider for Cold Calling? Free Quiz" description: "Eight questions on your market, buyers, volume and budget: a shortlist of phone data providers (Apollo, Lusha, Kaspr, Cognism…), every point and price explained." url: https://skipcall.io/en/tools/which-data-provider-quiz language: en --- [Free tools](https://skipcall.io/en/tools) # Which data provider for your cold calls? Eight questions, one minute. The quiz scores 15 phone data providers on your market, your buyers, your volume and your budget, and gives you a shortlist of two or three, with every point explained and the trap to know before you sign. We sell none of them. An unbiased shortlist you can check Question 1 of 8 ## Where are most of the people you call? Coverage changes more by country than by provider. Pick the market that holds most of your list. Your answers stay in your browser. No sign-up, nothing sent. How the score works Prices and facts checked November 2026 ## How the quiz picks a provider Every provider has a profile: coverage by market, strength on mobiles, entry price, the workflow it is built for, and its compliance tools. Each of your answers turns that profile into points with one visible rule. Your market weighs the most, because a provider without data in your country is useless at any price. Two filters come before the score: a provider with no data in your market, or one that starts above your budget, is never shortlisted. Below a minimum score, the quiz says that nothing fits rather than recommend a weak option. At equal points, the cheaper one comes first. From 500 numbers a month, the price of a mobile found on each entry plan separates the providers. It comes from the same dated price survey as our phone enrichment pricing tool, so both tools always show the same figures. The profiles are our reading of public information, checked in November 2026. They are not coverage measurements. The only measurement that counts is a test on your own contacts, and the method is below. ### The eight criteria 1. 1 **Market** Where are most of the people you call? 2. 2 **Roles** Who do you call? 3. 3 **Volume** How many contacts do you need a number for each month? 4. 4 **Number type** What kind of number do you need? 5. 5 **Budget** What can you spend on data each month? 6. 6 **Workflow** Where do you look for numbers? 7. 7 **Compliance** Which rule matters most to you? 8. 8 **Dialer** How will you call these numbers? ## 15 phone data providers at a glance Type, strongest markets, strength on mobiles, entry plan and what a mobile costs on it.

Prices come from the dated survey of the phone enrichment pricing tool, assuming every credit goes to mobiles.

Apollo is far cheaper and its US data is broad, but reviewers consistently describe its European mobiles as hit-or-miss. The honest answer depends on budget. With an annual budget and a European list, test Cognism. With a small budget, Apollo plus a waterfall such as FullEnrich on the contacts Apollo misses often beats a single expensive contract. ### Kaspr or Lusha? Both are LinkedIn extensions with a free plan, and they are not from the same group: Kaspr has belonged to Cognism since 2022, Lusha is independent. Kaspr is usually stronger on French and Western European mobiles. Lusha is stronger in North America and has the most documented privacy certifications. Calling France or Benelux from LinkedIn: start with Kaspr. Calling the US, or a legal team asks for ISO 27701: start with Lusha. Mixed list: run both free plans on the same 20 profiles and keep the one that rings. ### What is the best phone number finder for cold calling? The one with the most right-person mobiles on your list, at the lowest cost per conversation. That is why no ranking can answer it for you: Kaspr wins in Paris and loses in Chicago, Apollo the reverse. As a starting point in November 2026: Lusha or Apollo in the US on a small budget, ZoomInfo or Cognism with an annual budget, Kaspr in France, Cognism in the UK and DACH, and a waterfall such as FullEnrich when one database is not enough. Then run the 100-contact test below. ### One provider or a waterfall? No single database covers everyone. A waterfall asks several in turn and stops at the first answer, which lifts match rates, especially on hard roles. The price: less control over where each number came from. Under 500 contacts a month in one market, one good provider is simpler. Above that, or on mixed markets, a waterfall that bills only the numbers found usually costs less per conversation. ## Each provider: strengths, limits, the trap Two lines of strengths, two of limits, and the one thing to check before you sign. Every price is dated and every claim sourced. - ### Apollo.io Own database · US & Canada A very large US-centric database with email, sequences and a dialer in one subscription. Best for: uS-focused teams on a small budget who want data, sequencing and calling in one place. Strengths - Free plan, and paid seats from about $49 a month billed yearly. - Bulk enrichment, CRM sync and API on paid plans. - A dialer is included on paid accounts since January 2026 (advanced features as an add-on). - Flags numbers on do-not-call lists in six countries (US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia); its power and parallel dialers skip them. Limits - Mobile credits are capped per plan and reset each billing cycle. - Reviewers consistently describe European mobiles as hit-or-miss. **The trap.** Count mobile credits, not seats: the number of phone reveals per month is what limits a calling team. **Entry plan:** Free plan. Basic $49 a month per seat billed yearly. 2,500 credits a month, 8 per mobile (312 mobiles). About $0.16 per mobile found. Mobile credits are not refunded, even when the number turns out to be on a do-not-call list. Checked November 6, 2026.

Best for: reps who find people one by one on LinkedIn, in the US and Western Europe. Strengths - Free plan and a low entry price. - ISO 27701 certified (2022), SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA programs announced publicly. - Can hide numbers on the US and UK (TPS, CTPS) do-not-call lists, once an admin turns it on. Limits - Credit cost per phone number changed in 2026: check it on the live pricing page. - Thinner on mobiles outside North America and Western Europe. **The trap.** The credits listed are not phone numbers: a phone reveal costs 5 credits, 8 when Lusha falls back to its own waterfall. **Entry plan:** Free plan. Pro $69.90 a month. 600 credits a month, 5 per mobile (120 mobiles). About $0.58 per mobile found. A phone reveal costs 5 credits, 8 when found through Lusha’s waterfall. Pro includes 2 seats; about $52 a month billed yearly. Checked November 6, 2026.

Best for: sDRs and small teams calling France and Western Europe, one profile at a time. Strengths - Mobile coverage in France and Western Europe, its home market. - Free plan with a few phone credits, low entry price. - Part of Cognism since 2022, while keeping its own plans and free tier. Limits - Built around the LinkedIn extension, not bulk lists. - Thinner in North America. - No do-not-call screening documented publicly: screen TPS or DNC yourself. **The trap.** Phone credits are counted separately from email credits: the monthly phone allowance is what you will run out of. **Entry plan:** Free plan. Starter $49 a month per seat billed yearly ($65 monthly). 100 credits a month, 1 per mobile (100 mobiles). About $0.49 per mobile found. The free plan gives 5 phone credits a month. Phone credits are a separate pool from email credits. Checked November 6, 2026.

Cognism also owns Kaspr, bought in 2022. Best for: funded teams calling the UK, DACH and the rest of Europe at scale, with a legal team that asks questions. Strengths - “Diamond” mobiles, which Cognism says are verified by phone by its research team. - TPS and DNC screening across 15 countries, according to Cognism. - Strong GDPR documentation and EMEA coverage. Limits - No public prices: quote and annual contract. - Too expensive for a single rep or a test. **The trap.** Accuracy and connect-rate figures come from Cognism’s own marketing: ask for a trial on your own 100 contacts. **Entry plan:** Quote only, annual contract. An older Cognism article quoted packages from $12,750 a year with 5 seats; current Grow prices are on quote only. Checked November 6, 2026.

Best for: mid-size and large US teams that will use more than phone numbers. Strengths - Depth of US company and contact data. - Bulk, CRM and API built for large teams. - Do Not Call suppression included in every subscription (admin setting), according to ZoomInfo. Limits - 12-month minimum contract, no public prices. - Weaker outside the US than European specialists. **The trap.** Renewal increases are frequently reported by buyers: negotiate the renewal cap when you sign. **Entry plan:** Free plan. Quote only, annual contract. Buyers report entry contracts around $15,000 a year; no figure is published by ZoomInfo. Checked November 6, 2026.

Best for: teams enriching lists in bulk who want the best match rate without several contracts. Strengths - 10 credits per mobile found, nothing when it misses. - Several sources in one query, which lifts match rates on hard roles. - CSV, CRM and API. Limits - No LinkedIn extension: FullEnrich retired it, so you work from lists, your CRM or the API. - No database of its own to browse or build lists from. **The trap.** The provider that answered differs per contact: keep that source for your GDPR records. **Entry plan:** Free trial. Pro 500 $29 a month. 500 credits a month, 10 per mobile (50 mobiles). About $0.58 per mobile found. Billed only for numbers found; landlines are free. Checked November 6, 2026.

Best for: small teams in Western Europe and North America on a tight budget. Strengths - Low entry price. - Several seats included in plans, according to Datagma. Limits - A mobile costs 30 credits, so the credit count looks bigger than it is. - Tiny free tier. **The trap.** Convert credits to mobiles before you compare: 3,000 credits buy about 100 mobiles. **Entry plan:** Free plan. Regular $49 a month. 3,000 credits a month, 30 per mobile (100 mobiles). About $0.49 per mobile found.

Best for: technical teams and Clay users enriching US lists at volume. Strengths - 5 credits per mobile, only when found. - Built for API and Clay workflows.

Only a test tells you what you will get. One afternoon is enough. 1. 1 ### Take 100 real contacts From your next campaign, same market and roles. Not the provider’s demo list. 2. 2 ### Run the same 100 through each provider Free plans and trials are enough. Note how many numbers each returns, and how many are mobiles. 3. 3 ### Call them The match rate means nothing until a number rings the right person. Count right person, wrong person, dead line. 4. 4 ### Compute the cost per right person Price paid divided by right-person numbers. That is the figure to compare, not the price per credit.

Compare the price per mobile found, then per right person reached. - ### Trusting the vendor’s match rate Match rates are measured on someone else’s list, often on emails. Your market, your roles, your 100 contacts: that is the only rate that matters. - ### Buying for the wrong country Most providers are strongest at home. A tool excellent in Chicago can be mediocre in Milan. - ### Signing a year before testing Quote-only providers offer trials when asked. Ask for one on your own contacts before the annual contract. - ### Forgetting that numbers die People change jobs and numbers.

We do not resell, rank for money or take commissions from any provider in this quiz, and none of them paid to appear. Skipcall also sells phone enrichment credits inside its own app; we left it out of the quiz on purpose, so the shortlist only contains tools we have no stake in. The score is the sum of the points shown under “Why this pick”: nothing is weighted after the fact. Profiles come from vendors’ pricing pages and help centers, completed by third-party reviews when a vendor publishes nothing. Several of those reviews are written by competing vendors: we used them for prices only when no better source existed, and say so on each card. Prices change often. Everything here was checked in November 2026. If you spot an error, tell us through the chat and we will fix it. ## A calendar full of meetings starts with a call.

Coverage depends on the country, the role and the industry. Cognism is strong on European mobiles, Apollo and ZoomInfo on the US, Kaspr on France, and waterfalls such as FullEnrich lift match rates by asking several providers. Test two or three on the same 100 contacts. **Is Cognism or Apollo better for Europe?** For European mobiles, Cognism: Europe is its home market and it phone-verifies part of its mobile data. Apollo is far cheaper and strong in the US, but reviewers describe its European mobiles as hit-or-miss. On a small budget, Apollo plus a waterfall on the misses is a reasonable alternative. **Kaspr or Lusha: which one should I choose?** Kaspr for France and Western Europe from LinkedIn; Lusha for North America and for teams that need documented privacy certifications. Both have free plans, so run them on the same 20 profiles and keep the one whose numbers ring. **What is the cheapest way to find phone numbers for cold calling?** Start with free plans (Apollo, Lusha, Kaspr, Prospeo) to test quality on your market. At volume, compare the cost per mobile found on each entry plan: in November 2026 it ranges from about $0.10 to more than $1. Then compare the cost per right person reached, which is what you really pay for. **What is waterfall enrichment?** A tool that queries several data providers one after another and stops at the first that returns a number. Because databases only partly overlap, it finds more numbers than any single provider, and the best ones bill only the numbers found. **Is it legal to call mobile numbers bought from a data provider?** It depends on the country. In the EU, B2B calls usually rely on legitimate interest, with the obligation to tell people where their data came from and to honor objections. In the US, autodialed calls to mobiles fall under the TCPA, and personal numbers can be on the Do Not Call Registry. Check each country before you call. **Which data providers screen do-not-call lists?** Cognism says it screens do-not-call lists in 15 countries. Apollo flags numbers on the lists of six countries, the US and UK included, and its power and parallel dialers skip them. Lusha and ZoomInfo can hide numbers on the US and UK lists once an admin turns the setting on. A flag is not legal clearance: you still decide whether you may call. **Why is Skipcall not in the results?** Skipcall is a dialer that also sells enrichment credits. We left it out so the quiz only recommends tools we have no stake in.
