Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.4
GPA, above 0 of the 72 other lead and email finders we grade
CIENCE is a B2B appointment-setting and lead generation agency. It supplies outbound SDRs, a campaign team and verified contact data, run on its graph8 platform. This is a managed service priced by team, platform and SDR, not a self-serve contact database.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about CIENCE, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You do not learn software, but you brief a team, and the setup fee amount is not shown.
- 1
Best for hiring an outsourced SDR team
CIENCE is a service, not software: it supplies SDRs who work its own platform and book meetings for you.
- 2
Paid plans start at $1,750 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $1,750 per offshore SDR / month, plus $2,000 campaign team and $499 platform.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Outbound SDR teams
Dedicated SDRs call, email and message your buyers on LinkedIn each working day, and qualified meetings are booked onto your sales calendar.
- 5
Verified B2B data
The site lists B2B data, audience data and local data, described as verified contacts and accounts checked by humans.
- 6
graph8 platform
Contact data, email, calls and workflows sit in one system, which the page says is also offered for teams to run themselves.
- 7
A 1.4 GPA, above 0 of 72
That is against the other lead and email finders we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace CIENCE you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for hiring an outsourced SDR team
CIENCE is a service, not software: it supplies SDRs who work its own platform and book meetings for you. A small programme starts around $4,250 a month, and a five-SDR offshore example on its own page is $11,249 before bonus.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $1,750 per offshore SDR plus a $2,000 campaign team fee and $499 for the platform is about $4,249 a month for one SDR. Set against other outsourced SDR options, that is the dearer end. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed. Terms are month to month, which is not the same thing. |
| Features | C | Supplies SDRs, verified data, a platform and campaign management. It does the job end to end, with a human doing the work. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You do not learn software, but you brief a team, and the setup fee amount is not shown. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | A web platform, with no integrations listed. The work is done for you, so the reach is the vendor's own system. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who CIENCE is for
- Fits if you want meetings booked and have budget to pay people to do it
- Works for sales leaders who prefer a monthly agreement over hiring SDRs
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you are a small team, as one SDR costs about $4,249 a month all in
- Skip it if you want software to run yourself, as this is a service
- Watch out: a performance bonus is paid on top once an SDR reaches 60% or more of their meeting target
- Watch out: the one-time setup fee is not shown on the pricing page
Good to know
Good for
- B2B companies that want meetings booked for them instead of buying a data tool
- Teams that want to add or remove SDRs month to month
- Companies without an in-house outbound sales team
Worth knowing
- This is an agency service: a typical program costs thousands of dollars a month, and the page's five-SDR offshore example comes to $11,249 a month before bonus.
- A performance bonus is paid on top of each SDR's fee when they reach 60% or more of their meeting target.
- The setup fee is one-time, but its amount is not shown on the pricing page.
- Terms are month to month with no long contract, according to the pricing page.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace CIENCE you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 71 of the 72 other lead and email finders grade higher. It costs $21,000 a year.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. CIENCE’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
