Cognism vs SalesIntel

Both plans include up to 2,000 exports/views per user per month — but only 25 at a time. Bulk exports beyond 25 contacts require separate bulk export credits, purchased additionally.

1 credit = 1 contact with all associated data. Additional credits $0.33/each. Two user types: Platform Users ($1,200/user/yr) log into SalesIntel directly. Data Only users ($300/user/yr) are licensed to consume exported data pulled by a Platform User — they never log in.

Cognism is negotiable at EOQ/EOY. Volume discounts are structured — push to commit to 6+ seats if you're close to a tier boundary to drop from $3,600 to $2,550/user on Platinum. Teams switching from ZoomInfo or Apollo have leverage. EMEA coverage is a genuine differentiator that limits price competition for internationally-focused teams.

SalesIntel actively positions as a ZoomInfo alternative at lower cost and negotiates aggressively. Multi-year contracts unlock meaningful discounts — $8,000/yr on a 2-year deal, $7,500/yr on a 3-year deal vs $10,000 list. Teams switching from ZoomInfo or Apollo have strong leverage. Ask about Data Only user pricing if some team members only need exports.
