Kompass review

A broad B2B data and prospecting toolkit, but the core EasyBusiness price is custom—so compare quotes before switching.

The bottom line

Strong breadth for global B2B prospecting; unclear EasyBusiness pricing makes value hard to judge upfront.

Kompass brings company and executive data, EasyBusiness search across 60-plus criteria, sales alerts, email campaigns, directory profiles and tender monitoring together. The pricing page lists a 14-day EasyBusiness trial with no credit card required, but the service itself is custom-quoted. The $3.33 monthly starting price is for Basic Web Presence, not prospecting software; EasyList starts at $13 per list.

That makes Kompass worth considering for teams that need international company data and several marketing tools in one platform, but not an automatic bargain. The Reddit threads we read discuss other uses of “Kompass,” not this platform, so they do not establish customer sentiment. Support details are not published on the vendor's site.

01What Kompass actually does

Kompass combines a global B2B company directory with tools for finding prospects, promoting a company and monitoring public tenders. Its directory covers verified company information in more than 70 countries and over 25 languages, alongside company and executive data.

EasyBusiness lets users filter business data using more than 60 criteria and build lead lists. Its sales-intelligence features track business signals and send automated alerts. For outreach, Kompass offers email campaigns with delivery analytics, with a stated limit of up to 1,000 contacts per day.

The platform also sells multilingual company profiles intended to support SEO and track return on investment, plus tools to monitor domestic and international procurement opportunities. That is a broad mix: prospecting data, outreach, directory visibility and tender monitoring sit under one vendor. But the pricing model differs by product, so a low-cost directory listing should not be mistaken for the price of EasyBusiness.

02Where Kompass is strong

The clearest strength is breadth for companies selling across borders. Kompass says its directory spans more than 70 countries and 25 languages, while EasyBusiness offers more than 60 search criteria. That gives buyers a way to build targeted lists from company data rather than relying only on a general directory search.

The product also covers several steps after list-building: business-signal alerts, email campaigns with delivery analytics, multilingual company profiles and public-tender monitoring. For a team that needs those functions, keeping prospect discovery and basic outreach in one platform may be simpler than buying each capability separately. The published feature details do not establish how these tools compare with specialist alternatives, though.

There are lower-commitment ways to buy. EasyBusiness has a 14-day trial with no credit card required, according to the listed terms. EasyList is a one-time list purchase with a $13 minimum, so a buyer seeking a defined set of companies need not start with an EasyBusiness subscription. For visibility rather than prospecting, Basic Web Presence is listed at $40 for 12 months, or $60 for 24 months. Those are distinct products, not interchangeable tiers of the same lead-data plan.

03Where it falls short

The main purchasing problem is that EasyBusiness has no published price. Its quote depends on users, countries and data volume, so teams cannot judge the subscription cost before speaking with Kompass. The 14-day trial helps with evaluation, but does not resolve the longer-term budget question.

The advertised $3.33 monthly starting figure applies to Basic Web Presence, based on its $40 12-month listing; it is not an EasyBusiness price. That basic listing includes one product post and excludes advertising and backlinks. Kompass Booster is listed at $1,100 for 12 months ($91.67 per month), with unlimited product posts, SEO in 26 languages, backlinks and one free blog post. Buyers should compare those visibility products separately from prospecting data.

EasyList has a $13 minimum per list, but the final cost varies with selected criteria and volume. Email campaigns are capped at 1,000 contacts per day. Those limits, plus custom-quoted EasyBusiness pricing, make it hard to estimate total cost from the published figures alone. We would ask for a quote that specifies users, countries, data volume and any relevant campaign limits before comparing Kompass with a fixed-price alternative.

04Kompass pricing: what you'll actually pay

Kompass lists a free plan and a 14-day EasyBusiness trial, but the published pricing details don’t explain what the free plan includes. EasyBusiness is custom-quoted based on users, countries and data volume; you’ll need a quote to judge its cost. The trial requires no credit card, according to the published pricing details.

EasyList is a one-time purchase, with a minimum of $13 per list. The price varies by criteria and volume. For directory visibility, Basic Web Presence costs $40 for 12 months ($3.33 per month) or $60 for 24 months. It includes one product post, but no advertising or backlinks. Kompass Booster costs $1,100 for 12 months ($91.67 per month), about 27.5 times the monthly equivalent of Basic. It adds unlimited product posts, SEO in 26 languages, backlinks and one free blog post.

The main billing catch: those listed monthly figures are annual-term equivalents, not monthly prices. No add-ons are listed, and cancellation terms aren’t provided.

05Switching to (or from) Kompass

Switching to Kompass may mean rebuilding company lists, search criteria, alerts and campaign workflows around its directory and EasyBusiness tools. The published details don’t say whether Kompass imports data from another platform, or what exports are available for lists, campaign records or alert settings. Confirm those points before buying, especially if your team needs to move data out later.

If you leave, plan to preserve any prospect lists, contact records and campaign reporting you need before access ends. That’s a precaution, not a claim about Kompass’s export tools: export and cancellation terms aren’t stated in the published material. Basic Web Presence and Booster are listed for 12 months, while EasyList is a one-time purchase; the details don’t explain early cancellation or refunds. We weren’t given Reddit posts or comments about why customers leave, so we can’t attribute switching complaints to users. Ask sales for written answers on data portability, renewal and cancellation before committing to an annual listing.

From the threadsWhat users say

The Reddit threads we read do not review Kompass.com: they discuss a German football league reform and a Ghent nightclub called Kompass. The club gets mixed comments on crowding, sound, toilets and water prices, so these posts do not establish how buyers rate Kompass’s B2B platform.
