Grow vs. Elevate: what each plan actually includes

The key difference is access to verified mobile numbers, intent data, and buying signals. Here is what matters for each team type.

Grow / reported ~$22,500 per year
For teams that need contact data and company intelligence
  • Business emails and mobile numbers (not Diamond-verified)
  • Company intelligence: revenue, headcount, industry, HQ
  • CRM integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and sales tools
  • Best for teams focused on email outreach with standard data
Elevate / reported ~$37,500 per year
For teams that need verified mobiles and intent signals
  • Diamond Data phone-verified mobile numbers included
  • Intent data covering 12 topics for account prioritization
  • Buying signals: job changes, funding rounds, hiring, M&A
  • Best for teams running phone-heavy outreach into EMEA
Diamond Data context: Cognism claims 98% accuracy on Diamond-verified mobile numbers. This rate applies only to the phone-verified subset, not the full 440M+ contact database. Independent testing found 62.5% of overall mobile numbers and direct dials were incomplete across the full database. The Diamond on Demand service (manual phone verification) is capped at roughly 50 contacts per month with a 48-hour turnaround.

Cognism pricing: frequently asked questions

Cognism does not publish pricing. Users report the Grow tier at approximately $22,500/year for 5 users and the Elevate tier at approximately $37,500/year for 5 users. Both require annual contracts. Pricing varies by team size, geography requirements, and negotiation. The Elevate tier costs roughly 67% more than Grow, primarily for Diamond Data verified mobiles, intent data, and technographic filters.
Grow includes business emails, mobile numbers (not phone-verified), company intelligence, CRM integrations, and basic list exports. Elevate adds Diamond Data verified mobile numbers, intent data covering 12 topics, technographic data for 12 technologies, buying signals (job changes, funding, hiring, M&A), and larger list exports. Teams that need verified direct dials for cold calling or intent-based account prioritization need Elevate.
No. Cognism requires annual contracts for both Grow and Elevate tiers. There is no monthly billing option and no free plan. Teams that want to evaluate the platform before committing to an annual contract should request a trial period during the sales process.
Diamond Data is Cognism's phone-verified contact data. Each Diamond contact's mobile number has been verified by a phone call confirming the correct person answers. Cognism claims 98% accuracy for Diamond-verified numbers. This rate applies only to the verified subset, not the full 440M+ contact database. Diamond on Demand (manual verification requests) is capped at roughly 50 contacts per month with a 48-hour turnaround.
Cognism's strongest coverage is in the UK and Continental Europe. US and APAC data coverage is weaker, with users reporting lower match rates, more outdated records, and higher bounce rates on US contacts compared to EMEA. Teams with majority US pipeline should evaluate ZoomInfo or Apollo alongside Cognism and run test enrichments on their ICP before committing.
No. Cognism is a data and intelligence platform. It does not include email sequencing, calling, or multi-channel outreach automation. Teams using Cognism will need a separate tool like Salesloft, Outreach, or Apollo for outreach execution. Factor this into the total cost of ownership alongside the Cognism license.
Users report aggressive renewal practices, including upselling and limited backend account management controls. Cancellation terms and pricing lock guarantees are not publicly documented. Ask specifically whether pricing is locked at renewal, what the cancellation window is, and whether your credit or data allocations can change. Get renewal terms in writing before signing.
