Cognism is a UK-headquartered contact data platform, strongest in the UK, DACH, Benelux, the Nordics, France and Spain according to third-party summaries. Its pricing page lists Standard, Pro and CRM Enrichment plans, with five seats on Standard and Pro and no published prices. One credit reveals one contact, and re-accessing a revealed contact is free. Pro adds on-demand mobile verification and Bombora Company Surge intent data, and Cognism says it screens against do-not-call registries in 15 countries, including the UK's TPS and CTPS.
Third-party estimates, which are not list prices, put its annual cost from around $15,000 plus a per-user fee. That puts it firmly in the enterprise segment, with the data quality and compliance features to match. If you run an outbound sales team that depends on mobile numbers for decision-makers at established companies, it is built for that.
NewcoSignal is the other end of the funnel. We do not sell contact data. We find newly registered UK companies, by sector and region, from the Companies House register, which we ingest daily. A saved search sends you the new matches by email daily or weekly. The free plan has unlimited company search and a daily email of the top 5 new matches for one saved search, and every account gets a 14-day Pro trial with no card.
For new companies the fields we have are the registered address (around 99.98%) and a named director (around 99%), with formation-agent addresses and likely shell companies filtered out and a reachable-by-post filter. We do not claim emails or phone numbers for brand-new companies, because a company incorporated last week seldom has them. Pro is £39 per month + VAT or £348 a year + VAT and covers every match, up to 625 new companies a week, with 10 saved searches, CSV and Excel export and Zapier, webhooks, Slack and Teams. Instant alerts are hourly delivery of daily data, not real time.
Used together, the two cover different stages. NewcoSignal tells you which companies registered this week in your sector and area. Once an account matures and has people to find, a contact platform can supply the numbers. For a small team, the free NewcoSignal plan is a low-risk way to see how many new companies match your market before you invest further.
