CIENCE combines AI systems with human SDR expertise to deliver targeted, multi-channel outreach, better lead qualification, and scalable pipeline generation while keeping engagement focused on relevant prospects and measurable results.

Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

84/100

CIENCE has a substantial first-party web presence with dedicated homepage, about, contact, and pricing pages, detailed service descriptions, published contact information, and unusually concrete pricing, but the evidence is mostly company-claimed content and the search bundle notes the homepage was last modified in October 2022.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

46/100

Search visibility evidence is thin: the bundle only confirms that cience.com is an old domain registered in April 2005 (~21 years old), with no supporting SEO/traffic/ranking signals provided, so this should be scored conservatively despite the aged domain.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

42/100

Credibility is mixed because there are verifiable firmographic details (Miami address, phone, email, founded 2015, 251-500 employees, Crunchbase listing) and strong review volume on Clutch/G2, but these are weighed down by a 1.7/5 Trustpilot rating, an F BBB rating with complaint snippets, and multiple visible concerns about poor lead quality, data/privacy issues, and unresponsiveness.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

68/100

CIENCE shows meaningful market footprint through its broad service catalog, established company details, and listings/review presence on Clutch, G2, Trustpilot, BBB, and Crunchbase, but the footprint is tempered by the absence of verified Google and Capterra profiles in the search results and by mixed reputation across those platforms.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

34/100

Customer satisfaction appears weak overall: although Clutch shows 4.2/5 from 142 reviews and G2 has some positive comments, G2 is only 3.7/5 from 181 reviews, Trustpilot is 1.7/5 from 20 reviews, BBB shows an F rating, and the visible review themes repeatedly cite poor lead quality, wasted spend, delivery issues, and privacy complaints.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Hybrid pricing: a one-time GTM setup fee plus a monthly platform/managed-execution retainer, with optional at-cost SDR staffing and a variable pay-per-held-meeting commission. CIENCE also markets month-to-month service with custom ROI-based per-meeting fees.
  • Starting price: $499 / mo
  • Typical range: $1,500-$5,500 / mo per SDR
  • Billing: Monthly subscription/retainer for platform and growth execution, one-time setup fees, optional per-SDR monthly pass-through staffing charges, and pay-per-held-meeting commission calculated from an ROI target.
  • Contract terms: Month-to-month; no long-term contracts / cancel anytime.
  • Free trial: Free 20-minute call on the pricing page; some CIENCE comparison pages also advertise trying graph8 free with 10K credits + campaign setup, no commitment.

CIENCE now publishes unusually concrete pricing on its own site. The clearest current figures are: graph8 infrastructure at $499/mo, strategic execution at $2,000/mo, a one-time GTM setup fee of $5,000, SDRs at $1,500-$5,500/mo depending on level and geography, and $1,000 one-time onboarding per SDR. CIENCE also states that per-meeting fees are custom and derived from an agreed ROI goal, so there is no single published appointment price. Third-party directories corroborate that engagements are custom and can span much larger budgets: Clutch shows a $1,000+ minimum project size, under-$25/hr listed hourly rate, and review-based project spend typically between $2,500 and $50,000; DesignRush lists a minimal budget of $1,000-$10,000 and average hourly rate of $25/hr. Those directory figures are marketplace/listing estimates, not a first-party CIENCE price card.

Reviews & reputation

CIENCE has confirmed third-party listings on Clutch, G2, Trustpilot, and BBB, but I could not verify a matching company profile on Google or Capterra from search results. Across the platforms where it is listed, the reputation is mixed: Clutch shows a solid overall score from many reviews, G2 is middling, Trustpilot is poor, and BBB shows an F business rating with visible customer complaints.

    G2 shows a mixed reputation for CIENCE. Visible review text and the platform's pros/cons summary point to some customers valuing expertise and alignment, while others criticize poor lead quality, delivery delays, turnover, and wasted spend.

  • Trustpilot
    1.7/5

    20 reviews

    Trustpilot sentiment is strongly negative in the visible reviews. The excerpts shown focus on alleged poor delivery, bogus leads, weak training/tools, and dissatisfaction from both customers and at least some apparent former employees.

      If I could give 0 stars I would.

    • Jennifer

      I worked here for a short period as an sdr. They tell us to manage our book of business and then fail to give us the tools to do so.

      I worked there for a short period. First in sales--I couldn't sell a solution that couldn't be delivered on.
