User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Cognism
Cognism works great for startups, scale-ups and large enterprises. It helps us close deals faster because we can very easily find the right people who can move our deal forward fast, and reach them directly instead of having to go through an HQ number/gatekeeper. It also saves us hours and hours on research we'd otherwise have to do manually.

LeadGenius
LeadGenius is great for any company that has very specific, niche leads they need to generate (like we do). If you have a broader audience, I would recommend using a simpler, cheaper platform that simply scrapes LInkedIn for some keywords you've entered. For us, we need specific titles from specific types of companies (i.e. software companies that could use an email API).

Pros
Cognism
  • They give us a headsup if the phone number is direct, mobile, or HQ
  • They advise us if the email is verified - that reduces our bounce rate.
  • They also advise us if our prospect's number is in the DNC list

LeadGenius
  • LeadGenius has gone out of their way to help us find leads for fairly obscure markets. LeadGenius combines AI with personal vetting to find hundreds and thousands of leads for us that other automated lead gen platforms that simply scrape LinkedIn or the web cannot find.
  • If you need any custom work done for you outside of the platform, LeadGenius is willing to help with that where other platforms are not (with other lead gen platforms, either you use the system as-is despite it's shortcomings, or not at all).

Cons
Cognism
  • The mobile number quality needs to improve as the connect rate is lower
  • It should also add sub industries to contract the list and find ICP
  • The AI assistant is not ideal

LeadGenius
  • The platform loads a little slowly and has little quirks. If you create a ton of segments, it can be hard to organize them. If you archive old ones you can't view them anymore (but Leadgenius has access on the backend and can send your data to you).

Usability
Cognism
Cognism's UI is modern and sleek. While some functions like setting up sequences required a few more clicks than I think is necessary, every other feature is intuitive and easy to use. Everything is easy to find and users are able to quickly navigate to where they need to go for different use cases like research, email creation and sequence building

Alternatives Considered
Cognism
Cognism is great as its positioned itself in the middle of the pack from a pricing perspective, as it provides quality data for campaigns. The lower and cheaper options do offer it at a fraction of the cost but that just means that data quality is lower. Cognism is the best allrounder

Growlabs used too many generic search parameters and had too many system bugs - but they're early and I'm confident their product will get stronger.

Return on Investment
Cognism
  • The bounce rate is lower now by 50%
  • The lead quality is improved by 20%
  • We need all in one platform so we dont have to navigate between bundle of tools

LeadGenius
  • LeadGenius has been one of the main sources of leads for us over the past 6 months. There's a longer lead nurture cycle (since they're cold, outbound leads as opposed to inbound), but they do convert to customers for us.
