What Cognism publishes, what remains quote-led, how credits work, and how to compare EMEA and mobile-data economics.
Reviewed and updated August 20, 2026 by Argorant
Cognism's Standard and Pro packages are quote-led and each includes five seats. Cognism says one credit reveals, exports, or enriches one contact, and a redeemed record can be reused until that person changes jobs. CRM enrichment and Data-as-a-Service are separate buying motions or add-ons. No reliable universal monthly price can be derived from the public page.
Request separate line items for the prospecting platform, seats, contact credits, phone-verified data, CRM enrichment, API or Data-as-a-Service, onboarding, and renewal. Benchmark the countries and roles you actually sell into, particularly if mobile-connect rate is the purchasing thesis.
Ask Cognism to express the quote as total annual cash, monthly equivalent, included seats, included records, and incremental credit price. Record whether returned work emails, mobiles, exports, and enrichments use the same credit definition.
A five-seat inclusion can be efficient for a team and inefficient for a solo operator. Compare the minimum deployable contract, not the vendor's broadest platform story.
Choose representative countries, industries, and seniority levels. Review company and title accuracy, then measure work-email validity and connectable mobile numbers separately. Do not use one blended accuracy percentage for two channels.
Retain a reason code for no result, invalid email, wrong person, stale role, and unusable phone. Those failure modes imply different fixes and different costs.
Cognism publicly documents API availability tied to a prospecting seat, while no current public hosted MCP product was confirmed in this review. If an agent will query or expose data, confirm endpoints, rate limits, credit events, human approval, and external-product rights in writing.
| Commercial item | Public state | Buyer question |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / Pro | Custom quote; five seats included | What is the minimum annual cash and renewal term? |
| Credits | One reveal, export, or enrichment uses one credit | Which retries, refreshes, and phones consume another credit? |
| CRM enrichment | Separate motion or add-on | Is it included, capped, or metered? |
| API / DaaS | Contract dependent | What can an internal or customer-facing agent do? |
Pricing and product terms can change. Every source links to the public page and shows the review date.
No current universal paid price was confirmed on the official pricing page. Use an itemized quote and show its monthly equivalent beside the annual commitment.
Cognism has global data and emphasizes EMEA and mobile quality. The claim should still be tested on your exact countries, roles, and channels.
565.8M contacts, verified before you export. Free to start — no annual contract.
