Questions
What buyers comparing CIENCE ask
As of July 2026, CIENCE publishes a modular price list: a $5,000 one-time GTM System Setup (a 5-day sprint), Strategic Execution at $2,000 per month, a graph8 platform license at $499 per month, and an SDR marketplace running $1,500 to $5,500 per SDR per month depending on level and region, plus $1,000 one-time onboarding per SDR. Terms are month to month.
CIENCE is built to scale outbound with staffed SDRs and high contact volume for larger teams, and its stack is modular: setup, execution, platform, and SDRs priced separately. SynchIntro bundles research, campaigns, reply handling, and weekly learning reports into one plan at $1,999 to $2,999 per month with no setup fee, sized for SMBs.
No. Every DFY plan starts with the ICP session and Market Intelligence Brief as part of the monthly price. Optional one-time services exist, $1,299 for a 48-hour Attio CRM setup and $799 for data migration, but they are add-ons, not gates.
If you need staffed SDRs, want to scale to tens of thousands of contacts a month, or are an enterprise team that values an SDR marketplace with defined levels and regions, CIENCE’s model and client roster fit that scale. Its month-to-month terms are also genuinely buyer-friendly for that market.
CIENCE starts with its $5,000 GTM System Setup sprint, then monthly execution begins. SynchIntro’s first month is the ICP and buyer profile session, the Market Intelligence Brief, and your first campaign live, typically inside a week, all inside the $1,999 monthly price.
