Comparison

PitchWhip vs Cognism

Cognism sells by quote: “Get a personalised quote for your team” on every button, the allowance set inside it, and customer terms that are not public. So we can tell you what is on their site, and what is not.

Same profile. Two tools.

Right personStrong fit

VP Revenue Operations owns the sales stack. The functional buyer, named cleanly on the page.

Right nowStrong timing

Closed a $42M Series B on 14 Jan and has opened three SDR reqs in five weeks. Headcount is outrunning onboarding. Source: trade press, this week

Say this first

“Dana, this is a cold call. You can hang up. I noticed you have had three SDR roles open since the Series B. Usually when a team scales that fast, ramp is what quietly breaks. Worth sixty seconds?”

She will probably say

“We already use Gong for this.”

Answer · Most RevOps teams your size do. Gong tells you what happened on the call. We are upstream of that, in the first ten seconds before there is a call worth recording.

and the number

and the email

Same profile. The difference is that you already know what to say, and the number is the footnote rather than the product.

An illustration of the panel. Dana, Pellucid Metrics and the round are invented.

PitchWhip

Entry price, monthly
On request. Two Sales Prospecting packages, five seats included, no figure published
$49 a seat, or $490 a year
What arrives with the number
Research by Cognism AI ships “Suggested conversation starters” and “Outreach talking points”, written before anyone dials. No script for the one person you are about to ring, and no objection with its answer
Included. The fit verdict with the evidence quoted, why now, the opener in your phrasing, the objection with its answer, one-tap logging
Help while they are talking
Not covered in the pages we read, so we make no claim
Live call mode uses your computer’s microphone and Chrome’s speech recognition when you turn it on. It suggests responses as the conversation moves. The microphone must hear the conversation; otherwise, type what they said. No audio file is ever made or saved
The dialler
Not covered in the pages we read, so we make no claim
None. You call from your own phone or the dialler you already have, from any country, and the panel logs the outcome. No per-minute credits
Who finds the next prospect
Not covered in the pages we read, so we make no claim
Up to 10 a day on a paid seat, chosen for fit and timing against what you sell, each with a quoted source. You add the ones you want. No list building, no export
A number that turns out to be dead
No route back published: the closest is an unlinked “Report inaccurate data directly from the platform” bullet, with no mention of a credit
Reportable for 30 days. We check the report by hand and put the credit back, under a clause in the terms
Follow-up email sequences
Not covered in the pages we read, so we make no claim
Included at $49, using a connected mailbox for eligible relationships or a verified campaign subdomain for cold contacts. Sending limits, windows, unsubscribe links and bounce checks apply. A separate subdomain does not guarantee that reputation problems stay separate
Who presses send on LinkedIn
Not covered in the pages we read, so we make no claim
A task, never a send, and only on a page you have open. You press Connect, the panel presses “Add a note” in the dialog that opens and writes the note, and you press Send. For a message or an InMail it presses LinkedIn’s own Message button, on a profile or a Sales Navigator lead page. It writes the message in for you to read before you press LinkedIn’s Send
Included contact allowance
Set inside your quote. “1 credit = 1 revealed contact”, email and mobile together, good for the contract term
50 finds, phone or email, and nothing else costs a credit: not the brief, the script, the call, the logging, the sequences, or a lookup that finds nothing. If your numbers come from a data tool already, keep it for volume; the seat is the call layer
Price per phone-credit equivalent
Not published, so we make no claim
$0.98, down to 50c on a 100-pack, and pack credits never expire
A lookup that finds nothing
Previews cost nothing before a credit is spent. On a lookup that finds nothing, nothing is published
Not charged: 0 credits
The contract
Sales-led, five seats included. Customer terms not public
Monthly. Cancel any time from the dashboard, no notice period, no annual lock-in

Where they are better

The phone-verified mobiles: a person has rung the number to confirm the right person answers, which is a physical act we have no equivalent of. Cognism publishes 10m+ phone-verified contacts and a study of 1,000 contacts in which correct-person pickup went from 18% to 45%. Add do-not-call cross-referencing across 15 territories by default, free previews before a credit is spent, and a credit that buys a whole record and stays good for the contract term. If what you are buying is mobiles a person has dialled, that is Cognism.

Run both?

No, not for a rep who calls. Both tools put a mobile on the profile in front of you; the number is where Cognism finishes and where we start.

Test it on a profile your current tool already gave you a number for.

Free: 5 scripts a day, and your first number free, plus 4 more with your email. No card. PitchWhip never presses Send on LinkedIn. Desktop Chrome.
