How much does Cognism cost?

Cognism does not publish its prices. Pricing is quoted on request, across 2 plans (Standard and Pro), so the figure depends on your seat count and requirements. We record this as a pricing-transparency signal rather than guessing a number. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.

What platforms does Cognism support?

We have confirmed browser-based access to Cognism. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.

Can Cognism be self-hosted?

We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for Cognism, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.

What does Cognism integrate with?

We have confirmed 7 integrations for Cognism, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Salesloft, Outreach, Snowflake, S3 and BigQuery. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Source: https://www.cognism.com/apollo-io-pricing

What security certifications does Cognism have?

We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR for Cognism. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Cognism not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Cognism, not the verdict.
