RollWorks is built for mid-market companies. It costs $15K-$60K annually plus professional services. For companies just starting ABM, it's expensive. For enterprise companies, it's not sophisticated enough.

RollWorks customers often switch because:

1. Cost. Professional services add $10K-$25K to the bill. Total cost is higher than expected.

2. Complexity. More complex than Abmatic AI, but less sophisticated than Demandbase or 6sense. It sits in an awkward middle.

3. Implementation time. 2-4 weeks is fast for enterprise, but slow for teams wanting quick validation.

4. Adoption friction. UI is more complex than simpler platforms, leading to adoption challenges.

Migration Path from RollWorks

If you're currently using RollWorks and want to switch:

1. Export your target account list. Both platforms accept CSV uploads.

2. Document your campaign setup. Write down audiences, campaigns, and targeting criteria.

3. Plan migration timing. Don't switch mid-campaign. Wait for natural campaign end.

4. Run in parallel for 2-4 weeks. Keep RollWorks running while new platform ramps up.

5. Migrate account list to new platform. Load accounts, validate targeting, rebuild campaigns.

6. Turn off RollWorks. Once new platform is delivering results, cancel RollWorks.

Typical migration takes 2-3 weeks with minimal disruption.

Cost Comparison: Year One

RollWorks: $20K software + $10K services + $2K training = $32K-$60K

Demandbase: $100K software + $40K services = $140K (more sophisticated)
