Demandbase

Best for Enterprise
Price $25,000+/year
Job Mentions 8
Best For Enterprise teams where ABM advertising is a primary demand generation channel

Demandbase combines ABM with the strongest B2B advertising network in the category. Account-level targeting across display, video, and connected TV. Intent data (powered by Bombora) and account intelligence layer complete the picture.

WATCH OUT FOR

Similar price point and complexity to 6sense. The advertising focus means less emphasis on predictive scoring compared to 6sense.

Price $20,000+/year
Job Mentions 1
Best For Teams that want account-targeted display advertising without a full ABM suite

Terminus specializes in account-targeted display advertising with strong channel partner marketing features. The platform serves ads to specific accounts and tracks engagement at the account level. Recently refocused on its advertising core after pulling back from broader ABM ambitions.

RollWorks

Best Entry Point
Price $10,000+/year
Job Mentions 2
Best For Marketing teams running their first ABM program who need to prove ROI before a larger investment

RollWorks (by NextRoll) offers the most accessible entry point for teams starting ABM. Account identification, basic intent signals, and display advertising at roughly half the cost of 6sense or Demandbase. The Starter plan provides enough capability to prove ABM works before investing in an enterprise platform.

WATCH OUT FOR

Intent data and account intelligence aren't as deep as 6sense. You may outgrow it within 12-18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ABM and do I need it?

Account-based marketing targets specific companies rather than broad audiences. You need it if your average deal size is $25K+ and your sales cycle involves multiple stakeholders. If you're selling $500/mo subscriptions to individuals, ABM isn't the right motion.

How much does ABM cost?

Full ABM platforms (6sense, Demandbase) run $50K-150K/year. Mid-tier options (Terminus, RollWorks) start at $10K-25K/year. Lightweight visitor ID (Warmly) starts free and runs up to $1,400/mo. Budget for at least $2K-5K/mo in display ad spend on top of platform costs.

Can I start ABM without a platform?

Yes. Build a target account list in your CRM, run LinkedIn ads against those accounts, and coordinate sales outreach manually. This manual ABM motion costs almost nothing and proves whether the strategy works before investing $50K+ in a platform.

What's the difference between first-party and third-party intent data?

First-party intent comes from your own website (who visited, what pages they viewed). Tools like Warmly and Clearbit track this. Third-party intent comes from broader web activity (which companies are researching topics related to your product). 6sense and Bombora provide this. Third-party is more predictive but more expensive.
