Cognism's pricing is essentially the same as ZoomInfo's (mid five figures per year, annual lock-in, sales-led). fetchcraft turns the same workflow (email finder, intent signals, technographic data) into pay-per-result with no contract.
Cognism markets itself as a ZoomInfo alternative but uses the same enterprise-sales motion underneath. Annual contracts starting around $15k, seat-based pricing, rep-gated demos. Their differentiator is GDPR-compliant European data, which is real but doesn't change the buying motion. You still can't self-serve.
$0.02 per resolved email, no annual contract, no seat fees, self-serve.
