Book the most amount of sales meetings by speaking to as many humans as possible.
15+ human connects per rep-hour.
Some teams convert that into up to 6 booked meetings an hour.
A connect means a live human answering your rep. Not a voicemail, not a machine. Counted per rep, per hour, on a dashboard you can watch during the demo.
“Sentrama has become our go to strategic partner”
“Approachable, easy to work with, and always deliver on commitments.”
“Great meetings. It's incredibly rare for results to soar this high above expectations”
“The calibre of your callers…and the success rate…. was more than what our team would've done”
“The volume of sales meetings that were booked... they far exceeded the target, and they were good quality meetings.”
“Lots of the appointments we've had have been really positive and have led to further conversations and proposals going out.”

“We've getting to the right people at the right times and we've been able to have the right level of conversation and it we haven't gone in cold”
“the quality of the appointments was something I was prepared to be disappointed with... but no I every single appointment that I've joined there's been a real interest in what we do”
“we really enjoy working with Sentrama....for me one of the things that's really struck me is the professionalism, from the team and as a service, we found it to be very thorough and then that genuine sort of care and motivation really comes through”
“The meetings that you delivered have all been really high quality… I think that's always one of the fears when you work with a Agency and that you know meetings could be just booked just to hit a certain number but that definitely hasn't been the case”
“We used Sentrama for a 3 month period and seen good quality meetings booked which met or exceeded their contractual obligations, some of which have progressed into our pipeline. The team are great to work with and strive to learn/adapt to any feedback we gave them during the time we worked together.”
“It's been really great working with the Sentrama team. From my initial conversations with Robbie, discussing what we're looking to achieve, to working with Ben and the SDRs, it's been a very smooth process. In fact they have overdelivered what we forecast for the PoC, so we're very happy. The key is constant communication both ways, which Sentrama do really well. I'd recommend them to any business looking for quality outbound outreach.”

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 (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 |
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.
Our platform optimises one number
A connect means a live human answering your rep. Counted on a dashboard you will watch during the demo.
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.

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

A model picks the calls.A human makes them.
Every word your prospects hear comes from your reps, in their own voice. AI call screeners are identified and stripped before your rep ever dials, they never make the list. Dialing is designed around TCPA (US) and PECR (UK) from the start.
Cognism sells you the numbers.Nobody answers a number.
If you typed "Cognism alternative", you already know the data was never the finish line. Here is what sends teams looking, drawn from public reviews and 2026 pricing analyses. Paraphrased themes, not quotes.
The data was never the finish line
Cognism sells verified numbers, then hands the dialing to a separate tool you buy and run yourself. Teams realise the meetings were never going to book themselves. A number that is right still rings out, hits a screener or dies on a flagged caller ID.
Cognism has no calling layer (cognism.com, checked Jul 2026)
The platform fee dominates the bill
A fixed platform fee, estimated at $15K to $25K a year, applies regardless of team size, so small teams pay disproportionately. A solo user on the lower tier is estimated at around $16,500 a year before add-ons.
Seen across G2, Reddit and 2026 pricing analyses
Locked in by auto-renewal
Annual contracts are prepaid up front with no monthly option and auto-renew unless written notice lands roughly 60 days before expiry. Customers report renewal emails caught in spam and no self-serve control over billing.
Seen across Trustpilot, Reddit and review roundups
Unlimited is not unlimited
Bulk exports and API use burn credits, and a roughly 2,000 records per user per month fair-use cap sits behind the unlimited-access marketing. Exporting a list larger than about 25 contacts spends credits.
Seen across Reddit and third-party pricing reviews
Data accuracy gaps
A recurring share of phone numbers and contact records are reported as outdated or wrong. Coverage skews EMEA, with reviews flagging thinner, lower-accuracy data for US mid-market and especially APAC contacts.
Seen across G2 and Capterra, 2024 to 2026
The best features hide on the top tier
Premium mobile filter, on-demand mobile verification, job-change signals and intent data all require the Pro tier, and intent data costs an estimated $75 to $400 per topic on top.

In fairness, Cognism genuinely wins in places. Its phone-verified mobiles are strong for cold calling into Europe, its GDPR-compliant, DNC-screened EMEA coverage is hard to match, and it is a mature enterprise data platform with intent, hiring and funding signals. If you are a mid-market or enterprise team calling into EMEA that already owns a dialer you like and has budget for a five-figure annual contract, stay there. If your reps have the numbers and still are not booking, the missing piece is the calling machine, and that is us.

The questions Cognism switchers ask.
- What is the best alternative to Cognism for cold calling?
- It depends what you are missing. Cognism is a data platform: it sells verified contacts, then leaves the dialing to a separate tool. If your reps have the numbers but still are not booking meetings, the gap is the calling system, not more data. Sentrama supplies pickup-scored leads and the whole calling machine together: a parallel dialer, AI-screener removal, coaching and reporting, with teams running 15+ human connects an hour on the queue it builds.
- Do I have to cancel Cognism to switch to Sentrama?
- No. Keep your Cognism subscription running and test Sentrama side by side during the 200-lead proof of concept, or bring your Cognism exports and we run them through our pipeline per record. Nothing to rip out, no contract to break, and you let the dashboard pick the winner before you decide anything.
- How is Sentrama cheaper than Cognism for a small team?
- Cognism charges a fixed platform fee, estimated at $15K to $25K a year by third-party analyses, regardless of team size, plus per-seat charges on annual prepay, so small teams pay disproportionately. Sentrama charges per record, pay as you go, with no platform fee, no per-seat fees, no seat minimums and no multi-year contracts. You buy the leads or the data work, and the platform is included with it.
- Is Sentrama's data GDPR and TPS compliant for calling into the UK and EU?
- Yes. 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, with no AI voices, ever.
- Can I bring the Cognism data I already paid for?
- Yes. Bring your Cognism exports and we run them through any step of our pipeline per record: qualification, reachability scoring, pickup validation, and AI-screener removal. Full platform access, including the dialer, coaching and reporting, comes with the work, so your existing data spend is not wasted.
