Pricing Comparison Note

Demandbase is enterprise-only — expect $50K-200K+/year. 6sense is comparable. RollWorks starts around $10K/year as the 'budget ABM' option. Bombora pure intent data is $25K-50K/year. Unless your ACV is $50K+ and you're running true account-based plays, the ROI is hard to prove.
