How Cognavi pricing works
Graduate hiring is priced here the way it is actually consumed: by how many people you intend to hire in a year and how many candidates you need to reach to do it. There are three self-subscription tiers. Starter covers up to five hires at ₹45,000 a year and includes 50 unlock credits. Professional covers up to ten hires at ₹1,10,000 a year with 200 credits and everything in Starter. Enterprise is custom on both hires and price, with unlimited credits and everything in Professional.
What a credit is
A credit unlocks a student's contact details. Searching, filtering, reading Skill Tree scores and reviewing video interviews cost nothing — a credit is spent only when you decide to reach out to a specific candidate. That is deliberate: it means browsing the pool widely is free, and you pay at the point where a candidate becomes a real prospect rather than at the point where they become a search result.
Billing terms
Annual billing is the default and is prepaid; it includes two months free against the monthly rate, which is why the annual figures above are lower than twelve monthly payments. Monthly billing is available on every plan with a three-month minimum commitment. Plans can be upgraded mid-term, and the unused portion of the existing plan is credited against the new one.
Self-subscription or fully managed
The tiers above are the self-subscription model: your team runs the search and the shortlisting on the platform directly. Premium Enterprise is the managed alternative, where Cognavi takes ownership of sourcing, assessment, shortlisting and interview logistics and your team steps in at the interview stage. It is priced per engagement rather than per seat, because the work scales with the number of roles and the size of each intake rather than with the number of logins.
Both models use the same Skill Tree matching, the same pool of skill-verified students from 329+ partner universities, and deliver the same structured shortlist export into your ATS. If you are unsure which fits, the enterprise overview sets out what each one asks of your team, and the FAQ answers the billing and integration questions that come up most often.
