How We Ranked These Tools
In short We judged each tool on 5 criteria, using only facts from its own public pages.
- Intent and signals: Third-party intent, plus hiring, funding and technology signals.
- Account identification: Whether it names the companies, or the people, visiting your site.
- Scoring: Predictive or rules-based account scores that rank who to work first.
- Activation: Ads, email and CRM pushes from the same platform.
- Buying model: Published prices, or an annual contract through sales.
Tools are ordered by how well each meets our ranking criteria. Ken is our product, and Signals (Coming) is not ranked here until it is live. We do not use ratings from review sites, and we have not tested these tools hands-on.
1. 6sense
In short Best for intent, predictive scores and ads in one platform.
6sense combines its own keyword intent with partner intent from Bombora, TechTarget, TrustRadius and G2, predicts buying stages, and runs ads on its own B2B DSP, with contact data on credits. Every package is quoted after a demo, and its free plan ended in August 2026.
Starting price: Custom quote, checked Oct 17, 2026. No free plan or trial listed.
Strengths
Intent combines 6sense keyword research with partner intent from Bombora, TechTarget, TrustRadius and G2, tracked in over 40 languages. Predictive AI combines intent signals, buying stage predictions and past engagement to surface hot in-market accounts to sellers. Its own B2B DSP runs connected TV, display, native, paid search, social and video ads, and audiences sync to LinkedIn, Meta and Google Ads. AI Email Agents build multi-email sequences, read and classify replies, and send from 6sense, Gmail or Outlook. Sales Intelligence lists 750M+ captured B2B buyer profiles and 111M+ verified business email addresses.
Limits
No public prices: all three Sales Intelligence packages are quoted after a demo, and Revenue Marketing has no pricing page. The free Sales Intelligence plan was discontinued on August 12, 2026, so there is no way to try 6sense without talking to sales. Website visitor identification is account-level only: 6sense states it does not identify a person from the data its WebTag collects. Data credits expire at the end of their timeframe with no rollover, and extra credits are bought through your Customer Success Manager.
2. Demandbase
In short Best for account-based ads and a score per product.
Demandbase runs account-based ads on its own DSP, lets you train a separate predictive score per product or segment, and adds technographics and a contact database. Pricing is a custom platform fee plus a fee per user.
Starting price: Custom quote, checked Oct 17, 2026. No free plan or trial listed.
Strengths
Demandbase Ads runs account-based campaigns across display, video, CTV, social and web on its own B2B DSP, with a predictive bidding model in every campaign. Demandbase cites over 2 trillion intent signals a month from its native source, plus partner intent providers, across 133 languages. You can train several Pipeline Predict and Qualification scores, one per product or market segment. Technographics cover 48K+ front-end and back-end technologies across 136M+ domains, including software behind the firewall. Sales users see 200M+ B2B contacts with emails, phone numbers and an A+ to C contact quality grade, and can export them to the CRM.
Limits
No public prices: the pricing page is a form, and Sales and Marketing are quoted as a platform fee plus a flat fee per user. Marketing and Sales are not sold as standalone solutions; Demandbase tailors one plan across your go-to-market teams. Anonymous visitors are identified at the account level; for people, Demandbase recommends likely buying group members from modeled intent rather than naming the visitor. Email Agent drafts an email from a person record that you copy or open in Gmail or Outlook to send, and it needs both the Marketing and Sales licenses.
3. ZoomInfo
In short Best for contact data with intent and visitor tracking.
ZoomInfo pairs its contact and mobile data with buyer intent, website visitor tracking, account fit scores and workflows on Copilot Advanced and up, and sells ABM packages by quote. Paid plans are annual contracts with a seat minimum.
Starting price: Custom quote, checked Oct 17, 2026. ZoomInfo Lite with 10 credits a month, plus a free trial (typically 7 days), no card.
Strengths
Says it has 500M+ professional profiles and 135M+ direct-dial numbers, with mobile numbers and business emails from the entry Professional package. Buyer intent across 4,500+ topics plus website visitor tracking on Copilot Advanced and up. A permanent free tier, ZoomInfo Lite, with 10 credits a month, the Chrome extension and WebSights Lite. Pay-as-you-go API, MCP and CLI access through GTM AI with published per-credit prices and free search and lookup.
Limits
No public prices for Professional, Copilot Advanced or Copilot Enterprise; every quote goes through sales. Paid plans are annual contracts with a minimum seat count; ZoomInfo says there is no standard monthly option. Intent data, website visitors and workflows start at Copilot Advanced, and Streaming Intent costs extra. The free Lite tier gives 10 credits a month and is closed to current or past paid customers.
4. Warmly
In short Best for person-level visitors and buying committees.
Warmly identifies visitors at person and company level, scores accounts on intent, maps buying committees and syncs audiences to LinkedIn and Meta ads. Third-party intent is a paid add-on, and platform plans are sold quarterly or annually.
Starting price: $833.33 a month, billed annually, checked Oct 17, 2026. Free tier that identifies visitors on 250 credits a month, read over API or MCP, no card.
Strengths
Identifies visitors at person and company level, with ICP filtering, Slack alerts, lead routing and CRM sync on all three platform plans. Engages visitors on your site with an AI chatbot, live chat and popups, and sends automated email follow-up, from the Inbound Chat plan. TAM Agent scores accounts with transparent ML intent scoring and AI ICP tiering, maps buying committees and syncs audiences to LinkedIn Ads. Coldly, a contact database of 220M+ professionals with work emails and direct dials, is included, with credit limits by plan. An MCP server and REST API let Claude, Cursor and other AI agents pull identified visitors, with a free tier of 250 credits a month.
Limits
The platform plans are sold through sales on quarterly or annual terms, from $4,875 a quarter or $10,000 a year; only the API and MCP tiers are monthly. Third-party intent, hiring and funding signals cost extra: the GTM Signals Package lists at $10,000 a year. AI chat starts on the Inbound Chat plan, from $20,000 a year. LinkedIn outreach runs through HeyReach campaigns you build in HeyReach, with your own HeyReach license.
5. Leadfeeder (Dealfront)
In short Best for ABM on published prices.
Leadfeeder identifies visiting companies, scores their intent from 0 to 10 and runs IP-targeted display ads on Activate, with every tier below Enterprise priced on its site and unlimited users. Its intent comes from visits to your own site plus company news, not third-party intent feeds.
Starting price: $113 a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. Free Lite plan with no end date, after a 14-day full trial, no card.
Strengths
Free Lite plan with no end date shows the last 100 companies from the past 7 days, with unlimited users and tracked websites. Every plan has unlimited users sharing one credit pool, so price depends on identified companies, not seats. Each identified company gets a 0-10 intent score built from goals, days active and unique visitors over the last 90 days. Activate adds verified emails and phones, IP-targeted display ads and CRM automations in the same account. API and MCP server access on every paid plan, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho and Microsoft Dynamics integrations.
Limits
Identification is company level: an individual visitor shows only after filling a form or arriving from a tracked email campaign. Lite shows only company name and location, with no page-level visit detail, alerts, filters, CSV export or CRM integration. Campaigns, CRM automations, advanced contact filters and AI list enrichment need Activate, from $369 a month on annual billing.
How Do You Choose the Right Tool?
In short Ask each vendor on your shortlist these questions before you buy.
- Does it name the companies visiting your site, or the people?
- Which intent sources does it use: your own site, third-party feeds or both?
- Can it score accounts so your team knows who to work first?
- Can it act on a signal through ads, email or a push to your CRM?
- Are prices published, or sold as an annual contract through sales?
FAQ
In short 5 questions buyers ask about ABM tools, answered from each vendor's public pages.
What is ABM software?
Account-based marketing software helps you pick target accounts, see which ones show buying intent, and reach them with ads, email and sales outreach. The platforms here differ most in their intent sources, whether they run ads, and how they sell.
What happened to Terminus?
Terminus merged into DemandScience on November 12, 2024, and terminus.com now redirects to demandscience.com. DemandScience sells managed ad, email and content syndication programs run by its own team rather than software you run, so it is not ranked here.
Which ABM platforms publish prices?
Leadfeeder prices every tier below Enterprise on its site, and Warmly lists starting prices but sells through sales. 6sense, Demandbase and ZoomInfo's ABM packages are quoted.
Which ABM tools have a free plan?
ZoomInfo, Warmly and Leadfeeder (Dealfront) have a free plan or free credits. The rest offer a trial or no free option. The table shows the limits of each one.
