The most practical European-native option for a Germany-focused searcher who wants to build a filtered target list with owner contact details, though the platform’s primary focus has shifted back toward website visitor identification.
Leadfeeder is a European B2B intelligence platform operating at leadfeeder.com, previously branded as Dealfront between 2023 and 2025 following the merger of Echobot and Leadfeeder. The platform now operates under the original Leadfeeder name. Its Target module provides access to a database of over 60 million companies and 400 million contacts globally, with strongest data depth in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Nordic countries. Data is collected from national trade registries, chambers of commerce and commercial sources, and processed for GDPR compliance. The platform is built and hosted in the EU.
Why searchers use it
The key distinction between Leadfeeder’s Target module and other tools in this section is direction of use. Northdata and Unternehmensregister are tools for researching companies already identified. Target works the other way: a searcher describes their acquisition criteria using over 100 filters including sector, employee count, revenue range, ownership type and region, and the platform returns a filtered list of matching companies with contact data for owners and senior managers. For a Germany-focused searcher building a proprietary outreach list from scratch, this is a faster path from acquisition criteria to a qualified target list with contacts ready for outreach.

Honest limitations
Leadfeeder’s pricing is structured for B2B sales and marketing teams, not individual searchers. The Target module is not sold separately at a disclosed price and requires a sales conversation for a quote. Based on market reports, entry pricing for the prospecting module is estimated at $500 to $1,000 per month, which is significant for a search fund budget. The recent rebrand back to Leadfeeder signals that website visitor identification, not company prospecting, is the platform’s primary product focus going forward. Pricing and packaging decisions are likely to reflect this. Data coverage outside DACH is weaker than within it.
