What is Cognism?
Cognism is a B2B contact data provider sold by quote in two plans, Standard and Pro, each including five seats. It emphasises verified mobile numbers, which it describes as phone-verified contact numbers designed to improve connect rates, and what it calls “compliance-first data”. The Pro plan adds intent data, on-demand mobile verification and prioritisation features.
Who should use Cognism?
- Sales teams that call prospects and need mobile numbers with better connect rates.
- Teams of five or more, since both plans include five seats.
- Organisations that put data compliance first; review Cognism’s compliance documentation with your legal team.

Cognism pricing
Cognism does not publish prices; its pricing page invites you to request a personalised quote for your team. No free trial is mentioned. Cognism offers a free data sample and demo bookings.
Buying tip: request the free data sample for your actual target accounts and regions, and ask how many verified mobiles it contains. Mobile coverage is the main reason to choose Cognism.
Ease of use and implementation
SoftPilot has not tested Cognism hands-on. If calling is central to your process, measure connect rates during a pilot rather than relying on the sample alone.
