G2 is a powerful source of buyer intent. When someone visits G2 to research your category, they’re signaling purchase intent. Many B2B revenue teams have integrated G2 buyer intent signals into their demand gen and sales workflows to identify in-market accounts.
Demandbase is one of the largest ABM platforms globally, but their pricing structure is notoriously opaque. This guide breaks down what Demandbase actually costs in 2026 and helps you model budget.
Clearbit has long been the go-to contact and company data enrichment tool for B2B teams. With single-click person and organization data appended to your CRM, Clearbit became foundational to thousands of SDR and marketing teams’ workflows.
Intent data has become the core input for effective outbound sales. Instead of cold calling random companies, SDRs can now target accounts actively researching your solution.
One of the biggest barriers to ABM for Canadian SaaS is CASL compliance. You cannot email prospects without consent. But identifying and reaching prospects with consent is slow. It requires lead magnets, webinars, and landing page forms that build consent over weeks.
There’s a persistent argument in B2B marketing: demand generation or ABM? Which is better?
ZoomInfo’s opaque, variable pricing (seat-based + data credits) and mandatory sales process make true cost comparison hard, but typical mid-market spend ranges from $30K to $100K+ annually depending on feature tier and seats. Cheaper data alternatives exist if you are willing to trade depth for cost.
Salesloft and Outreach dominate sales engagement, but nine viable alternatives compete on narrower value (pure sales engagement cheaper), broader value (ABM orchestration + engagement), or niche value (community-driven, industry-specific). The right pick depends on your revenue motion, not your deal size.
B2B intent data in 2026 is no longer a single category: co-op signals (Bombora), first-party platform intent (G2, TechTarget), AI-inferred behavioral intent, and bundled intent in full ABM platforms are all viable, with varying signal quality, coverage, and cost.
HockeyStack’s multi-touch attribution + account engagement scoring + pipeline reporting niche is now crowded: eight viable alternatives each solve a meaningful slice of what HockeyStack does, with varying trade-offs in data coverage, CRM integration, and pricing.
B2B demand gen platforms now span paid media, ABM, intent data, and content syndication, and the right tool depends on your primary pipeline motion (paid, ABM, intent, or account-based lead gen hybrid), not on generic feature breadth.
Bombora’s co-op model dominated B2B intent data for years, but its advantage has narrowed: first-party platform intent (G2, TechTarget, review sites), AI-inferred behavioral signals, and bundled intent (inside full ABM platforms) are now equally viable for most revenue teams.
