Best Terminus Alternatives in 2026

Terminus built its name on B2B advertising and ABM campaign management. But the platform has been through ownership changes, and competitors have pulled ahead in AI-powered intent data and orchestration. If you're reevaluating your ABM stack or looking for better analytics, here are the alternatives worth considering.

1. 6sense

Price From ~$60K/year
Best For Enterprise teams wanting AI-powered intent data and orchestration

Coverage & Capabilities

6sense is the most data-intensive ABM platform on the market. It identifies anonymous buying signals, predicts buying stage, and orchestrates multi-channel engagement. The intent data layer is stronger than anything Terminus offers. 70 job postings vs Terminus's 12 tells the adoption story.

VERDICT

The premium Terminus alternative. Costs more but delivers deeper insights and broader orchestration. Best for companies ready to invest in data-driven ABM.

2. Demandbase

Price From ~$50K/year
Best For Mid-market to enterprise ABM teams wanting advertising + intent data

Coverage & Capabilities

Demandbase merged with Engagio to create a unified ABM platform with advertising, intent data, account intelligence, and sales engagement. The advertising capabilities are competitive with Terminus, and the account intelligence layer is deeper.

VERDICT

The most direct Terminus alternative with better analytics. Pricing is comparable. The platform is more mature for companies that want both advertising and account intelligence.

3. RollWorks

Price From ~$15K/year
Best For Mid-market teams wanting ABM advertising on a budget

Coverage & Capabilities

RollWorks (by NextRoll) offers account-based advertising, retargeting, and basic intent signals. Strong HubSpot integration makes it the default ABM tool for HubSpot-centric companies. Lighter on features than 6sense or Demandbase but more accessible.

VERDICT

Best for HubSpot users who want affordable ABM advertising. Not as powerful as Terminus for multi-channel ABM, but cheaper and easier to deploy.

4. Bombora

Price From ~$25K/year
Best For Teams wanting standalone intent data to power any ABM platform

Coverage & Capabilities

Bombora provides Company Surge intent data from the largest B2B content consumption cooperative. It's not an advertising platform, but the intent data feeds into Terminus, 6sense, Demandbase, or any DSP. The data tells you which accounts are researching your category.

VERDICT

Not a direct Terminus replacement, but a complement. If Terminus's intent data is the weak link, adding Bombora on top (or switching to Bombora + a different ad platform) can improve targeting.

5. LinkedIn Marketing Solutions

Price Self-serve ad platform (CPM/CPC)
Best For B2B marketers who want account-targeted ads on the platform where buyers actually spend time

Coverage & Capabilities

LinkedIn's advertising platform offers account targeting, matched audiences, and ABM-style campaign features natively. The targeting data is first-party (members update their own profiles), making it more accurate than third-party data. Not a full ABM platform, but increasingly competitive for B2B advertising.

VERDICT

For many teams, LinkedIn ads are the most effective B2B advertising channel regardless of what ABM platform you use. Consider whether a purpose-built ABM tool is necessary or whether LinkedIn ads + intent data covers your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest Terminus alternative?

RollWorks starts around $15K/year and covers basic ABM advertising and account targeting. LinkedIn's self-serve advertising has no platform fee. Both are significantly cheaper than Terminus's ~$30K+/year pricing.

Which Terminus alternative has the best advertising?

Demandbase and 6sense both offer ABM advertising capabilities that match or exceed Terminus. For pure advertising ROI, LinkedIn Marketing Solutions often delivers the best B2B results because of first-party targeting data.

Should I switch from Terminus to 6sense?

If you've outgrown Terminus's analytics and intent data capabilities, 6sense is the natural upgrade. Expect to pay 2-3x more but get significantly deeper AI-powered insights and multi-channel orchestration. Budget 3-6 months for migration and platform ramp-up.
