Best B2B databases for Germany and DACH decision-makers
Compare DACH B2B databases by German titles, Mittelstand and regional depth, verified emails, phones, API access, public pricing, and governance.
Reviewed and updated August 20, 2026 by Argorant
Which database understands the local company forms, German-language titles, regional structure, and buying roles in your actual DACH segment?
Use Dealfront for European company and visitor workflows, Cognism or Kaspr for phone-led prospecting, Coresignal for professional-data APIs, and Argorant for transparent verified work-email lists with German, Austrian, and Swiss filters.
Name the thing you need back, and the shortlist gets short.
Coverage, verification and price only become comparable once the output is fixed. A file, a field and an endpoint are three different purchases.
How the shortlist was judged.
A global headline does not prove strong coverage in the buyer's countries, company sizes, or titles.
Practical test: Compare live counts and usable-field rates for the same ICP in each priority country.
Nominal records are irrelevant if the target field is missing, stale, or undeliverable.
Practical test: Run the same 100-record sample and separate deliverable, catch-all, unknown, invalid, and no-result outcomes.
Suppression, permissions, audit logs, overwrite rules, and spending limits prevent operational damage.
Practical test: Test opt-out handling, role permissions, credit caps, data overwrite behavior, and auditability before launch.
API, MCP, and CLI rights determine whether a workflow can run reliably without rep clicks.
Practical test: Confirm plan eligibility, rate limits, authentication, credit behavior, and export permissions in writing.
Seats, credits, lookups, actions, and exports measure different things.
Practical test: Price the exact steps required to produce 1,000 campaign-ready records, including verification and add-ons.
The shortlist.
Discover is €113 monthly or €79 per month billed annually. Activate is €527 monthly or €369 annually. Scale is displayed at €599 per month billed annually.
Identified companies and verified decision-maker contacts remain separate outcomes.
Standard and Pro are quote-led and each includes five seats. CRM enrichment and Data-as-a-Service are separate buying motions or add-ons.
No public dollar pricing and local depth still requires a role-level sample.
Starter is $65 monthly or $49 per user per month billed annually, shown as €59 monthly or €45 annually. Business is $99 monthly or $79 annually.
API access is upon request and coverage depends on LinkedIn profiles.
Starter is $99 monthly or $74 per month billed annually for 4,500 contacts. The agent wallet is $0.035 per credit with no subscription.
Live country and title tests must support any Mittelstand or local-depth claim.
Basic is $65 monthly or $49 per seat per month billed annually. Professional is $99 monthly or $79 annually. Organization is $119 per seat per month billed annually with a three-seat minimum.
English-first title and software-heavy samples can overstate local fit.
Free includes 40 monthly credits. Starter is $49.90 monthly or $37.45 per month billed annually. Pro is $69.90 monthly or $48.95 annually.
Global coverage does not establish German-language title normalization.
Mini is $49 monthly. Starter is $199 monthly or $2,149 annually, equal to $179.08 per month. Higher self-serve tiers run to $5,000 monthly.
Professional profile collection is not the same as verified work-email output.
Side by side.
Published database sizes, accuracy claims and prices use different units, so every vendor statement below stays attributed. The buying test should still be your own sample and your own required fields.
| Provider | Best for | Coverage | Data type | Verification | Integrations | Agent access | Pricing shape | Decisive limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dealfront | European account and visitor intelligence with a strong DACH use case. | European company data and website-visitor identification, with country and market coverage centered on Europe. | Company discovery, visitor identification, contacts, activation, and CRM workflows. | Company identification is distinct from contact-email verification. Enriched contacts should be tested on the intended market and role mix. | CRM integrations, automations, campaigns, exports, and programmatic Leadfeeder access. | No public hosted MCP server was confirmed on the reviewed pricing and product pages. | Discover is €113 monthly or €79 per month billed annually. Activate is €527 monthly or €369 annually. Scale is displayed at €599 per month billed annually. | Identified companies and verified decision-maker contacts remain separate outcomes. |
| Cognism | Enterprise DACH teams prioritizing phone access and managed data. | Global B2B data with a strong EMEA and mobile-number positioning. | Company and person data, work emails, mobile numbers, enrichment, and bulk delivery. | Cognism describes phone verification and quality controls, but buyers should reproduce results on their own countries and roles. | CRM integrations, browser extension, enrichment, API, and Data-as-a-Service delivery. | API access requires a Prospecting seat. No current public hosted MCP offer was confirmed. | Standard and Pro are quote-led and each includes five seats. CRM enrichment and Data-as-a-Service are separate buying motions or add-ons. | No public dollar pricing and local depth still requires a role-level sample. |
| Kaspr | German-language LinkedIn-led email and phone enrichment. | LinkedIn-led B2B email and phone enrichment with a European market focus. | B2B emails, direct emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn capture, and CSV enrichment. | Kaspr describes verified contact data, but email and phone outcomes should be measured independently on a country-specific sample. | Chrome extension, CRM exports, CSV enrichment, and API access upon request. | Limited API access is available on Starter upon request and API access on Business upon request. No hosted MCP was found. | Starter is $65 monthly or $49 per user per month billed annually, shown as €59 monthly or €45 annually. Business is $99 monthly or $79 annually. | API access is upon request and coverage depends on LinkedIn profiles. |
| Argorant | Verified DACH work-email lists, market counts, and agent access. | 565.8M B2B contacts across 184 countries, with country, industry, company-size, seniority, department, and title filters. | Company and person records, verified work emails, company phones, and optional direct or mobile numbers. | Live SMTP verification runs at export. Invalid, unverifiable, and no-email outcomes are not charged as contact credits. | CSV exports, REST API, signed webhooks, CRM and sequencer handoffs. | MCP and API on paid plans; UI, API, CLI, and MCP through the no-subscription agent wallet. | Starter is $99 monthly or $74 per month billed annually for 4,500 contacts. The agent wallet is $0.035 per credit with no subscription. | Live country and title tests must support any Mittelstand or local-depth claim. |
| Apollo | DACH sales teams wanting data and outbound workflow together. | Large global company and contact database combined with sequencing, enrichment, and rep workflows. | Company records, work emails, phones, intent and engagement fields, enrichment, and outbound workflow data. | Apollo says email credits are charged only when it can verify an email, while other data and workflow actions follow their own credit rules. | CRM integrations, browser extension, CSV, workflows, and public API. | Public API and MCP access use the signed-in workspace's normal permissions and credits. | Basic is $65 monthly or $49 per seat per month billed annually. Professional is $99 monthly or $79 annually. Organization is $119 per seat per month billed annually with a three-seat minimum. | English-first title and software-heavy samples can overstate local fit. |
| Lusha | Small teams needing quick contact reveals and API or MCP access. | Global contact and company discovery, enrichment, browser capture, and prospecting workflows. | Work emails, phone numbers, company attributes, intent and enrichment fields. | Lusha publishes action-level credit rules. Email, phone, CSV, and API operations should be costed as separate actions. | CRM integrations, browser extension, API, CSV, and prospecting workflows. | Official MCP documentation is public. Plan limits and the signed-in credit balance still apply. | Free includes 40 monthly credits. Starter is $49.90 monthly or $37.45 per month billed annually. Pro is $69.90 monthly or $48.95 annually. | Global coverage does not establish German-language title normalization. |
| Coresignal | Applications needing DACH company, employee, job, and professional APIs. | Multi-source professional, company, job, and employee data collected from more than 15 public web sources. | Company, employee, job, post, and historical headcount APIs. | Billing is tied to successful API responses, not email deliverability. Contact enrichment is a separate endpoint. | REST APIs, Elasticsearch-style search, webhooks, bulk data, and data feeds. | Agentic Search API is listed across plans. No hosted MCP server was confirmed on the public pricing documentation. | Mini is $49 monthly. Starter is $199 monthly or $2,149 annually, equal to $179.08 per month. Higher self-serve tiers run to $5,000 monthly. | Professional profile collection is not the same as verified work-email output. |
DACH quality appears in the details: Geschäftsführer versus functional leaders, GmbH and AG normalization, regional fields, and real depth outside software hubs. Test Germany, Austria, and Switzerland independently.

Frequently asked
They differ in market size, company structure, language usage, legal forms, data sources, and field availability. One combined DACH result can hide weak countries.
Use German and English synonyms, abbreviations, department terms, and company-size context. Geschäftsführer can be the correct buyer in a small firm but too broad in a large company.
A same-sample test across industrial regions, employee bands, legal forms, and functional roles. A large Germany total is not enough.
