Where they pull apart

Cognism

Stands out: Phone-verified mobile numbers, on-demand verification and Bombora intent data on the Pro package.

Watch out: No published price. CRM enrichment and API or bulk delivery are separate add-ons, and API access needs a prospecting seat.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo SDRs who need a cheap self-serve database
  • Teams that only want a US email finder

Societeinfo

Stands out: Every plan, including free, includes API access. Credits cover company fiches, contact enrichment, and surveillance of French establishments (10 companies on free, 150 on Starter).

Watch out: No USD rate card. Unused subscription credits do not carry over. The file is France-centric (SIRENE-style company data), so it is the wrong tool for US prospecting.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only prospecting teams
  • Buyers who need unused credits to roll over each month

Pros and cons

Cognism

  • Phone-verified mobile numbers
  • Intent data on the Pro package
  • Revealed contacts reusable for the contract
  • No public self-serve price
  • CRM enrichment is a paid add-on
  • API delivery costs extra

Societeinfo

  • Free 25 credits/month with API included
  • Starter €32/mo billed annually for 3,600 credits
  • France-depth company data, not a thin worldwide contact file
  • No USD prices
  • Credits expire on subscription plans
  • US and global coverage is not the point
