Strong compliance positioning, broad industry coverage
Cognism has built a strong reputation around GDPR-compliant B2B data, particularly for teams selling into European markets, along with phone-verified mobile numbers as a core differentiator for outbound calling programs.
NPLUS Global's specialization is different: US-focused healthcare and physician contact data, HIPAA-aware handling, and specialty-level accuracy purpose-built for healthcare marketing, pharma, and medical device outreach.
Geographic and vertical focus
Cognism is strongest for teams running B2B outbound across Europe and North America broadly, across a wide range of industries, with particular strength in compliance-sensitive markets.
NPLUS Global is strongest for teams specifically targeting US healthcare buyers — physicians, hospital administrators, healthcare IT leadership — where specialty accuracy and practice-setting context matter more than broad geographic coverage.
Phone data approach
Cognism markets phone-verified mobile numbers as a core product strength for cold-calling programs. NPLUS Global includes direct and facility phone numbers where available, verified as part of the standard record, with the same emphasis on accuracy as the rest of the contact fields — email, employer, and specialty.
Compliance considerations
Cognism's GDPR positioning is well suited to teams with significant European prospecting needs. NPLUS Global's healthcare data handling is built around HIPAA-aware practices specific to the sensitivities of physician and healthcare provider data in the US market — a different compliance context than general European B2B outreach.
Choosing between them
- Selling broadly across industries into Europe and need strong compliance tooling → Cognism
- Selling specifically to US physicians, hospitals, or healthcare decision-makers and need specialty-level accuracy → NPLUS Global
- Running both types of campaigns → many teams use a horizontal provider for general B2B outbound and a healthcare specialist for anything touching physicians or clinical buyers
