Cognism pricing, answered.Then compare it with ours.
Cognism is a genuinely strong B2B data platform, phone-verified mobiles and GDPR-grade European coverage, sold as an annual subscription with a platform fee and per-seat charges. Sentrama is a different model: you buy the leads or the data work pay as you go, the platform comes included, and teams run 15+ human connects an hour* on the queue it builds.
* A connect means a live human answering your rep, not a voicemail, not a machine. Counted per rep, per hour, on a dashboard you'll watch during the demo.

Trusted by B2B Brands:
The phone got harder.
Buying verified numbers was always step one. In 2026 the maths past that step changed, and a five-figure data contract does nothing about it.

What Cognism costs, as best as anyone can tell.
Cognism's own pricing page lists two tiers with 5 seats included and a credit system, but no prices: every dollar figure is demo-gated. The numbers below are the best available third-party estimates, attributed inline.
Here is their pricing. Straight answers, no demo wall.
| Plan | Price | Basis | The fine print |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (formerly Platinum / Grow) | ~$15,000/yr platform fee + ~$1,500 per user/yr; ~$22,500/yr for a 5-seat team (est., per salesmotion.io, 11 Jun 2026, and factors.ai, 2 Jul 2026) | Annual contract, prepaid; 5 seats included in the base subscription | The feature list is published on cognism.com/pricing; every dollar figure is demo-gated behind talk-to-sales |
| Pro (formerly Diamond / Elevate) | ~$25,000/yr platform fee + ~$2,500 per user/yr; ~$37,500+/yr for a 5-seat team, ~$50,000/yr for 10 seats (est., per salesmotion.io, Jun 2026, and derrick-app.com, 2026) | Annual contract, prepaid; 5 seats included in the base subscription | Premium mobile filter, mobile verification on demand, job-change signals and intent data sit on this tier only |
| CRM Enrichment / Data-as-a-Service | Quote only; no prices listed (per cognism.com/pricing, checked Jul 2026) | Add-on or standalone; API or bulk delivery | Listed on their own pricing page with no prices attached |
For a 5-rep team, third-party analyses put the realistic all-in figure at roughly $22,500 a year on Standard, or $37,500 and up on Pro, before onboarding fees of $500 to $1,500 and per-topic intent add-ons of $75 to $400 each. Because a fixed five-figure platform fee applies whatever your headcount, a solo user on the lower tier is estimated at about $16,500 a year (salesmotion.io, Jun 2026; factors.ai, Jul 2026; derrick-app.com, 2026).
That buys verified numbers. Verified is not answered.
A number that is right still rings out, hits a screener, or dies on a flagged caller ID. Sentrama validates who picks up and points everything at the number below.

The fine print
No published pricing and no free trial. Quotes come only after a sales demo, a 25-lead sample is the most you get hands-on, and reported negotiation discounts of 28 to 52% mean two similar teams can pay very different prices.

Annual contracts are prepaid up front with no monthly option. Contracts auto-renew unless written notice lands roughly 60 days before expiry, and users report missed renewal notices.

A fixed platform fee, estimated at $15K to $25K per year, applies regardless of team size, so small teams pay disproportionately. A solo user on the lower tier is estimated at ~$16,500 per year.

Unlimited access is effectively view-only: exporting lists larger than ~25 contacts or using the API consumes credits, and a fair-use policy caps usage at roughly 2,000 records per user per month.
Source: salesmotion.io, Jun 2026; factors.ai, Jul 2026
Key data features are paywalled to the top tier: premium mobile filter, on-demand mobile verification, job-change signals and intent data all require Pro. Intent data additionally costs an estimated $75 to $400 per topic, with 8 to 15 topics typical.

Users and 2026 pricing analyses report 10 to 15% price increases at renewal unless actively negotiated, plus onboarding fees of $500 to $1,500.

Cognism sells you verified numbers.Meetings need a machine.
In 2026 the gap between verified numbers and a booked meeting is everything else. Cold-call connect rates have halved to 2.3 percent. iOS 26 screens unknown callers by default. A third of brand-new caller IDs get flagged before the first dial. Verified numbers alone do not survive contact.

Recurring themes in public reviews of Cognism, 2024 to 2026. Paraphrased themes, not quotes.
Data accuracy gaps
A recurring share of phone numbers and contact records are reported as outdated or wrong. The most-cited cons relate to inaccurate data, stale records and incorrect phone numbers, with some reviewers putting usable data well under advertised rates.
Seen across G2 and Capterra, 2024 to 2026
Coverage skews EMEA
Multiple reviews flag thin or lower-accuracy data for US mid-market companies, and especially for APAC contacts.

Auto-renewal and cancellation friction
Customers report being auto-renewed without effective notice, needing 60-day written notice to leave, and lacking self-serve control over billing and renewals.
Seen across Trustpilot, Reddit and third-party review roundups
Price versus value for small teams
Frequent complaints that the platform-fee-plus-seat model is expensive relative to alternatives, especially for small teams where the fixed platform fee dominates the bill.
Seen across G2, Reddit and 2026 pricing analyses
Unlimited is not unlimited
Frustration that bulk exports and API use burn credits, and that a roughly 2,000 records per user per month fair-use cap sits behind the unlimited-access marketing.
Seen across Reddit and third-party pricing reviews
Renewal price hikes
Price increases of 10 to 15% are reported at renewal unless customers push back hard during negotiation.

Where Cognism genuinely wins.
- Phone-verified mobiles (Diamond Data): human and callback-verified numbers are genuinely strong for cold calling, particularly across Europe. Reviewers consistently rate connect quality on verified mobiles as the standout feature.
- GDPR-compliant EMEA coverage that is hard to match: a European database with Do-Not-Call list screening across multiple countries, a real advantage for teams calling into the UK and EU compliantly.
- A mature enterprise data platform: intent data, hiring, funding and job-change signals, a 30-day data refresh, solid Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive enrichment, and high overall review scores (4.6/5 on G2, 4.7/5 on Capterra).
Stay with Cognism if you are a mid-market or enterprise org cold-calling into EMEA, need GDPR-compliant, DNC-screened, phone-verified data at scale, already own a dialer and engagement stack you like, and have budget for a five-figure annual contract. Data and ops teams that value CRM enrichment and intent signals over an all-in-one calling workflow are well served there. It is the calling-led teams, and the smaller ones where the fixed platform fee dominates the bill, who feel the model.

The questions Cognism comparers ask.
- How much does Cognism cost?
- Cognism does not publish prices. Its pricing page lists two tiers, Standard and Pro, with 5 seats included and a credit system, but every dollar figure is demo-gated. Third-party 2026 analyses estimate a platform fee of roughly $15K per year on the lower tier or $25K per year on the top tier, plus about $1,500 to $2,500 per user per year, annual prepay only. A 5-rep team is typically quoted around $22,500 per year on Standard and $37,500 or more on Pro, before onboarding fees and per-topic intent add-ons. Figures are estimates from salesmotion.io and factors.ai, checked July 2026.
- Can I use Sentrama alongside my Cognism subscription?
- Yes. Bring your Cognism exports and we run them through any step of our pipeline per record: qualification, reachability scoring, pickup validation. Full platform access comes with the work, so your existing data spend is not wasted.
- Do I have to cancel Cognism to try Sentrama?
- No. Many teams keep their Cognism subscription running and test Sentrama side by side during the 200-lead proof of concept, then let the dashboard pick the winner. There is nothing to rip out and no contract to break.
- How is Sentrama's pricing different from Cognism's?
- Cognism sells an annual, prepaid subscription: third-party 2026 analyses estimate a platform fee of roughly $15K to $25K per year plus per-seat charges, with prices quoted only after a demo. Sentrama charges per record, pay as you go, with every price on the page. The dialer, coaching, CRM and reporting are included with the leads or the data work. The full platform is free when you buy our data. No per-seat fees, no seat minimums, no multi-year contracts.
- Where does Sentrama's data come from, and is it GDPR and TPS compliant?
- We supply pickup-scored UK, EU and US B2B data, sourced and verified through our own pipeline. UK numbers are screened against TPS before any dial, and dialing is designed for PECR in the UK and TCPA in the US. Real human reps make every call, no AI voices, ever.
- What happens on the demo?
- We show you the platform on your target market and how human connects land on the dashboard. Bring your Cognism exports if you have them and we will run those too. Your exact per-lead and per-record prices are on the page.
