Key takeaways

  • Demandbase and 6sense lead for enterprise ABM, but both sell on custom quotes; AdRoll ABM starts free for retargeting, N.Rich publishes $10,320 a year, and Kwanzoo starts at $250 a month.
  • LinkedIn Ads is the only channel in this list you can start with no contract: a $10 daily minimum per campaign, and you pay per click or impression.
  • The single most important buying factor is who you target: account-level tools (Demandbase, 6sense, AdRoll ABM) reach companies, while person-based tools (Influ2) reach named buyers inside them.
  • Nine of the eleven tools publish no price at all — budget on a sales quote plus media spend, not on the platform fee alone.
  • Every price below was checked November 4, 2026. Ratings are G2, except Madison Logic, ZoomInfo Marketing, Bombora and Kwanzoo, where no rating is shown — the first three hit rate limits when checked, and Kwanzoo has only four G2 reviews.

The best account based advertising software

#1

Demandbase

Best for: Enterprise B2B teams running full-funnel ABM who want account intelligence, intent and advertising in one platform

4.4/5 on G2 (2,024 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit demandbase.com
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planNo — demo only

Demandbase One is the reference point for account-based advertising because the ads run on its own B2B ad platform instead of being bolted onto a data feed. The suite combines first-party website and CRM activity with third-party intent, then scores accounts and pushes the in-market ones into display campaigns, website personalization and sales workflows. The native DSP carries no minimum ad spend.

The price is the barrier. Demandbase publishes no starting price: the model is a platform fee plus a flat fee per user, and Vendr's marketplace data puts the median annual contract at $68,591. Implementation commonly takes one to three months, and the platform expects dedicated ABM operations. Buy it when the account list is large and the team is ready to run ABM as a program, not a campaign.

What we like

  • Native B2B DSP with no minimum ad spend, so account-based display runs inside the same platform as the intent data
  • Buying Group Insights and Demandbase AI agents surface in-market accounts and recommend next actions
  • Deep Salesforce integration plus HubSpot, Marketo, Outreach and Salesloft, with 21 integrations listed on G2

Watch out for

  • Custom-quoted annual contracts with a platform fee plus a flat fee per user, and Vendr's median contract is $68,591 a year
  • Implementation commonly takes 1 to 3 months, and the platform needs dedicated ABM operations to run well
#2

6sense

Best for: Enterprise revenue teams that want predictive AI to rank in-market accounts before spending on ads

4.2/5 on G2 (1,580 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit 6sense.com
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planNo — demo only

6sense is the predictive end of this list. Its Revenue Marketing platform watches intent signals across the web, scores each account for buying stage and fit, and rebuilds audience segments as accounts move — so the ad budget follows accounts that are already researching, not a static list from last quarter. The November 2025 launch of RevvyAI added agentic AI that acts on those signals.

That intelligence costs enterprise money and enterprise patience. 6sense publishes no price, and Vendr's median annual contract is $62,220, with some buyers reporting quotes above $100,000. G2 reviewers put implementation at about three months and describe a steep learning curve, with reporting that often ends up in a BI tool. Choose it when predicting in-market accounts matters more than a low entry price.

What we like

  • Predictive models rank accounts by buying stage and intent, so ad spend goes to accounts already in market
  • Dynamic segmentation updates audiences automatically as accounts show new intent signals
  • Named a Leader in Forrester's Q1 2026 Wave for Revenue Marketing Platforms

Watch out for

  • Custom-quoted annual contracts, with Vendr's median at $62,220 a year and some buyers reporting quotes above $100,000
  • G2 reviewers report a steep learning curve, about 3 months to implement, and reporting that often needs a BI tool
#3

AdRoll ABM

Best for: Mid-market B2B teams that want account-based ads without enterprise complexity or a platform fee to start

4.3/5 on G2 (661 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit adroll.com
Starting priceCustom quote for ABM tiers (Account-Based Retargeting has no platform fee — pay only for media)
Free planYes — Account-Based Retargeting with no platform fee (pay for media only)

AdRoll ABM is the former RollWorks, rebranded in August 2025, and it is the most accessible route into account-based ads in this list. The entry point is Account-Based Retargeting, which carries no platform fee — you pay only for media — and the platform's first-party DSP runs campaigns across display, social and connected TV. InIQ AI scores accounts for likelihood to convert, and BidIQ optimizes the bidding.

The catch is that the three full ABM tiers are quote-only, so a team that outgrows retargeting has no published number to budget against — third-party estimates run $12,000 to $50,000 a year. G2 reviewers praise the one-month implementation and the clean HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, and rate the platform 4.3 out of 5. Start here when you want real account-based ads without an enterprise contract.

What we like

  • Account-Based Retargeting has no platform fee, so the cheapest entry in this list is paying for media only
  • InIQ AI and BidIQ handle account scoring and bid optimization across display, social and connected TV
  • Clean HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, plus a LinkedIn Connector that extends campaigns to LinkedIn

Watch out for

  • The three full ABM tiers are quote-only, and no dollar figure is published on AdRoll's pricing page
  • G2 reviewers note the playbook setup can feel clunky and that reporting flexibility is limited
#4

Metadata.io

Best for: Mid-market demand gen teams spending $10,000+ a month on ads who want AI to run the experiments

4.6/5 on G2 (300 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit metadata.io
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planNo — no free trial

Metadata.io is not a database and not a suite — it is the layer that turns account and contact lists into paid campaigns. You connect your CRM or a data vendor, and its six AI agents build the campaigns, allocate budget, test creative and shift spend across LinkedIn, Google, Meta and programmatic display, then report which ads produced pipeline rather than clicks.

It only makes sense at real spend. Metadata.io publishes no price, and third-party estimates put the platform at $43,000 or more a year before a dollar of media — G2 reviewers say the platform suits teams spending at least $10,000 a month on ads. The support earns consistent praise, but changing a live campaign is awkward. Buy it when ad operations, not targeting data, is the bottleneck.

What we like

  • Six AI agents build campaigns, allocate budget and test creative across LinkedIn, Google, Meta and programmatic display
  • Ties ad spend to pipeline, with CRM integrations for Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo and Pardot showing which ads drive opportunities
  • Highest G2 score in this list at 4.6 out of 5, with reviewers praising hands-on support

Watch out for

  • Quote-only pricing, with third-party estimates putting the platform at $43,000+ a year before ad spend
  • G2 reviewers say changing a live campaign is cumbersome, as edits often mean stopping, cloning and relaunching
#5

Madison Logic

Best for: Demand gen teams whose ABM runs on content syndication plus multi-channel paid media

Visit madisonlogic.com
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planNo — demo only

Madison Logic is a media engine for ABM: one account list drives content syndication, display, connected TV, audio and LinkedIn ads, all scored by its ML Insights intent layer. That combination is the point — the same in-market accounts see your whitepaper in syndication and your display ads the same week, and the vendor cites more than 500 million monthly engagement signals behind the scoring.

Everything is custom-quoted, and the bill is mostly media: third-party estimates put typical all-in programs at $30,000 to $150,000 a year, with content syndication charged per lead. G2 reviewers describe a complex interface and reporting delays, and implementation takes about a month. Pick it when syndication and paid media should run from one list, not two vendors.

What we like

  • Runs content syndication, display, connected TV, audio and LinkedIn ads against one intent-scored account list
  • ML Insights scores accounts on first- and third-party intent, and the vendor cites 500M+ monthly engagement signals
  • Gartner named it the only Visionary in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for ABM Platforms

Watch out for

  • Custom-quoted with no public price, and third-party estimates run $30,000 to $150,000 a year all-in
  • G2 reviewers describe a complex interface and reporting delays, with about a month to implement
#6

LinkedIn Ads

Best for: B2B teams that want first-party job-title and company targeting on the network where buyers actually are

4.0/5 on G2 (269 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit linkedin.com
Starting price$10/day minimum campaign budget (no subscription; pay per click or impression)
Free planNo — pay-as-you-go, no subscription

LinkedIn Ads is the only tool in this list that is also a channel — and for account-based advertising, that matters. Matched Audiences let you upload your target account list and reach people at those companies by job title, seniority and function, using LinkedIn's own first-party data rather than a third-party segment. Lead Gen Forms keep the conversion on LinkedIn.

There is no subscription and no contract: the floor is a $10 daily budget per campaign and a $100 lifetime minimum for a new campaign, and LinkedIn suggests $25 a day for new advertisers. The clicks are the most expensive here — $5 to $15 per click is typical for B2B audiences — so $10 a day buys one or two clicks. Use it as the first channel in any ABM program, and budget real money for it.

What we like

  • First-party targeting by job title, seniority, company, industry and skills, plus Matched Audiences from your own account lists
  • No contract or platform fee, with a $10 daily minimum per campaign, and LinkedIn suggests $25 a day for new advertisers
  • Lead Gen Forms capture leads without sending people off LinkedIn

Watch out for

  • The most expensive clicks in this list, with $5 to $15 per click typical for B2B audiences, so $10 a day buys one or two clicks
  • G2 reviewers rate it 4.0 out of 5, the lowest score here, citing cost and a clunky reporting dashboard
#7

Influ2

Best for: B2B teams with high-value deals who want ads shown to named buyers, not just their companies

4.6/5 on G2 (171 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit influ2.com
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planNo — no free trial

Influ2 is the only person-based tool in this list: instead of targeting a company and hoping the right people see the ad, it targets named buyers from your CRM and reports exactly who viewed and clicked. That contact-level view feeds sales with named engagement — which person at which account interacted, and with what — rather than anonymous account activity.

Precision has a price. Influ2 publishes no price and bundles platform fees and media into one flat annual fee based on the size of your target list; Vendr's median contract is $60,000 a year, and reviewers report about $5 per engaged contact. It also cannot find accounts outside your database. Choose it when deal values are high enough that reaching the right three people beats reaching the whole company.

What we like

  • Person-based targeting shows ads to specific decision-makers and reports exactly who viewed and clicked
  • Contact-level intent signals feed sales with named engagement instead of anonymous account activity
  • Customer support is the most-mentioned positive on G2, with hands-on account teams

Watch out for

  • Custom-quoted with bundled platform and media fees, and Vendr's median contract is $60,000 a year
  • G2 reviewers want deeper reporting and note that mid-month audience changes wait for the next monthly cycle
#8

ZoomInfo Marketing

Best for: Revenue teams that already buy ZoomInfo data and want to run ads from the same account lists

Visit zoominfo.com
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planYes — ZoomInfo Lite free tier (10 credits a month)

ZoomInfo Marketing — MarketingOS — is the advertising arm of the largest B2B data platform in this list. It pairs a contact database of more than 500 million professionals with intent data and account-based advertising, so the same account lists used for prospecting can be pushed straight into campaigns, with 300-plus company insights per account behind the targeting.

The platform is quote-only, and third-party benchmarks put typical contracts at $15,000 to $45,000 a year, with credits and add-ons on top. The free Lite tier gives 10 credits a month with no card, which is a useful way to test the data. G2 reviewers praise the database most and complain about outdated records most — and auto-renewal needs 60 to 90 days' notice, so calendar the date.

What we like

  • MarketingOS pairs a 500M+ contact database with intent data and advertising in one platform
  • 300+ company insights per account, including intent, firmographic and technographic signals
  • Free Lite tier gives 10 credits a month with no credit card, so you can test the data before buying

Watch out for

  • Quote-only pricing, with third-party benchmarks putting typical contracts at $15,000 to $45,000 a year
  • G2 reviewers flag outdated and inaccurate records most, and auto-renewal needs 60 to 90 days' notice
#9

N.Rich

Best for: Mid-market European and global teams that want published ABM pricing and fast time to value

4.7/5 on G2 (115 reviews, checked Nov 2026)
Visit n.rich
Starting price$10,320/year (LITE, annual billing; $1,050 one-time onboarding)
Free planNo — 3-month proof-of-concept trial

N.Rich is the transparent outlier in a category that hides its prices: the Helsinki-based platform publishes every tier — LITE at $10,320 a year, GROWTH at $23,800 — with a $1,050 one-time onboarding fee on LITE. It combines an ideal-customer-profile builder, intent data and account-based advertising, and it charges for engagement rather than impressions, so spend follows accounts that actually interact.

The entry tier is deliberately narrow: one campaign, one intent report and ten topics, with no CRM or marketing automation integration — that needs GROWTH. Even so, N.Rich holds the highest G2 score in this list at 4.7 out of 5, and reviewers praise the support team. It is the best first ABM platform for a mid-market team that wants a real number before the first sales call.

What we like

  • The only tool here with fully published pricing, with LITE at $10,320 a year and GROWTH at $23,800
  • Charges for engagement, not impressions, so you pay when accounts click, view video or scroll, not for served ads
  • Highest G2 score in this list at 4.7 out of 5 across 115 reviews

Watch out for

  • LITE covers one campaign and one intent report, and CRM and marketing automation integrations need GROWTH at $23,800 a year
  • G2 reviewers note a learning curve and a lag between platform data and CRM sync
#10

Bombora

Best for: B2B teams that already have an ad platform and need intent data to decide which accounts to target

Visit bombora.com
Starting priceCustom quote (no published starting price)
Free planNo — free trial available

Bombora does not run your ads — it tells you which accounts deserve them. Company Surge tracks content consumption across a co-op of more than 5,000 B2B publisher sites and flags the companies whose research on your topics has spiked above baseline. Digital Audiences then turns those surging accounts into programmatic segments, and the data feeds 6sense, Demandbase and ZoomInfo as well.

The data is account-level only: Bombora names the company, not the person researching, and Surge refreshes weekly rather than daily. There is no published price — Vendr's median contract is $24,750 a year, and Audience Solutions adds $15,000 to $25,000. Buy Bombora when you already have an ad platform and the missing piece is knowing which accounts are in market this week.

What we like

  • Company Surge tracks content consumption across a 5,000+ publisher co-op, covering 14,000+ intent topics
  • Digital Audiences turns surge data into programmatic ad segments with 600+ predefined B2B audiences
  • Consent-based data from direct publisher relationships, not ad-exchange bidstream

Watch out for

  • No published price, with Vendr's median contract at $24,750 a year and Audience Solutions adding $15,000 to $25,000
  • Account-level only, so it names the company but not the person researching, and Surge data refreshes weekly
#11

Kwanzoo

Best for: Small B2B teams that want self-serve ABM advertising without an annual enterprise contract

Visit kwanzoo.com
Starting price$250/month (Start-Up credit plan; third-party sourced)
Free planNo — 14-day free trial (500 credits)

Kwanzoo is the self-serve end of this list. Its credit-based Start-Up plan costs $250 a month for 375 credits, aimed at sites with under 3,000 monthly unique visitors, and it pairs person-level website visitor identification with intent data and one-to-one targeted ads. There is no annual enterprise contract to sign before you can run account-based ads.

Small is the honest word for it: Kwanzoo has only four G2 reviews, the most recent from April 2022, and about two dozen customers by third-party counts, so there is almost no public evidence beyond the vendor's own pages. The annual tiers jump to $15,000 to $60,000 a year, and intent topics cost $10,000 a year for the first one. It fits a small team that wants to try ABM advertising on a monthly bill.

What we like

  • Self-serve credit plans start at $250 a month, the cheapest subscription entry in this list
  • Person-level website visitor identification shows which contacts from target accounts are on your site
  • AI Playmaker segments audiences and 1 to 1 targeted ads run from the same platform

Watch out for

  • Only 4 G2 reviews, the most recent from April 2022, so there is almost no public user evidence
  • Annual tiers run $15,000 to $60,000 a year, and intent topics cost $10,000 a year for the first topic

The best account based advertising software puts your ads in front of a list of named companies — not a demographic, not a keyword, not whoever happens to click. The eleven tools below cover the whole range: enterprise suites with their own ad platforms, AI tools that run the campaigns for you, the LinkedIn channel itself, and one self-serve option that starts at $250 a month. Every price was checked on the vendor's own pricing page on November 4, 2026, or listed as a custom quote where the vendor publishes no price.

Two things changed this category in 2025. RollWorks became AdRoll ABM, and Terminus merged into DemandScience — so two names buyers still search for are now one product and one defunct brand, and this list names the products you can actually buy. The other constant is pricing: nine of the eleven tools publish no price at all, which is why the pricing section below works from the two published numbers and third-party contract benchmarks instead of pretending every tool has a list price.

How to choose the best account based advertising software

  • Match the tool to who you target. Account-level tools (Demandbase, 6sense, AdRoll ABM) reach companies; person-based tools (Influ2) reach named buyers inside them. Pick the level your sales team actually works.
  • Count the media, not the platform fee. Nine tools here are custom-quoted, and the platform fee is the smaller number — the media spend and the minimums decide the real budget.
  • Check whether intent data is included. 6sense, Demandbase, Bombora and N.Rich bundle intent; Metadata.io and AdRoll ABM take intent from your stack. If you buy intent separately, add $15,000–$25,000 a year.
  • Ask which channels the ads actually run on. LinkedIn Ads is one network; Madison Logic and Metadata.io run display, social, CTV and more from one list. A single-channel tool is cheaper but narrower.
  • Try the free entry before the contract. AdRoll ABM's retargeting tier has no platform fee, LinkedIn Ads has no contract, and ZoomInfo Lite is free — run one real account list through the free entry before signing an annual deal.

Account-based ads only work if the accounts are worth reaching, which starts with the list itself — our guide to marketing platforms for small business SEO covers the visibility side of the same problem. Before you launch, run your landing page titles through the free SERP snippet preview tool so the page your ads point to earns the click.

Whatever you shortlist, run one real campaign before you pay for a year. The free entries and trials in this list are long enough to test one genuine account list — your companies, your creative, your budget — and that test tells you more than any review can. Check two things in the trial: that the reporting shows named accounts, not just impressions, and that sales can see the same data you see.

Bar chart of starting prices billed monthly: AdRoll ABM $0, Kwanzoo $250
Monthly starting prices. Only two tools publish a monthly figure: AdRoll ABM's no-fee retargeting entry ($0) and Kwanzoo ($250). The rest sell on custom quotes, or price annually (N.Rich, $10,320 a year) or daily (LinkedIn Ads, $10 a day).

Account based advertising software pricing: what you will actually pay

Take a B2B team with a 500-account target list and a first-year ABM budget. The two published numbers are the floor: N.Rich LITE costs $10,320 a year plus a $1,050 one-time onboarding fee, or $11,370 in year one, and Kwanzoo Start-Up costs $250 a month on a credit plan, with media on top. LinkedIn Ads has no subscription at all — the floor is $10 a day per campaign — but at typical B2B click prices that buys one or two clicks a day, so a real test needs far more.

Everything else is a quote, and third-party contract benchmarks are the only public guide: Vendr's marketplace data puts the median annual contract at $68,591 for Demandbase and $62,220 for 6sense, and $60,000 for Influ2, all checked in October 2026. Bombora's median is $24,750 a year, and Madison Logic programs typically run $30,000 to $150,000 all-in. Treat those medians as a starting point for negotiation, not a price — scope, account volume and modules move every quote.

Two costs sit outside every number above. First, media: the platform fee is not the ad spend, and enterprise tools expect meaningful monthly media — Metadata.io reviewers say the platform only earns its keep above $10,000 a month in ad spend. Second, implementation and onboarding: Demandbase commonly takes one to three months to implement, and N.Rich charges $1,050 for onboarding on its cheapest plan. Price the first year, not the first month.

Know the difference: account-based vs person-based advertising

The confusion in this category is between two kinds of targeting that share the name ABM. Account-based advertising targets a company: everyone at Acme Corp who matches your filters can see the ad, and reporting tells you Acme engaged. Demandbase, 6sense, AdRoll ABM, Madison Logic, N.Rich and Bombora work this way. It is the right level when the buying decision is spread across a committee and you want the whole account to see the message.

Person-based advertising targets a named individual: a specific buyer at Acme Corp sees the ad because they are on your list, and reporting tells you that person viewed and clicked. Influ2 is the pure example, and Kwanzoo's visitor identification works the same way at the contact level. It is the right level when three or four named people decide the deal and the rest of the company is noise.

A third distinction worth knowing is a platform versus a channel. Demandbase, 6sense and AdRoll ABM are platforms that run ads across networks; LinkedIn Ads is a channel that runs ads on one network. Platforms cost more and reach further; channels are cheaper to start and narrower by definition. Most mature programs use both — a platform for reach and LinkedIn for the buyers who live there.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Budgeting on the platform fee. The quote is the smaller number — media, onboarding and implementation decide the first-year cost, and Metadata.io only earns its keep above $10,000 a month in ad spend.
  • Buying a custom-quoted tool without a second quote. Nine tools here publish no price, so a quote cannot be compared against a list price — get at least two quotes, or compare against N.Rich's published $10,320 a year, before signing.
  • Trusting a directory price. Third-party directories still show a stale $975 a month for RollWorks, but RollWorks is now AdRoll ABM and its ABM tiers are quote-only. Always check the vendor's own pricing page.
  • Picking account-level targeting when three people decide. If the deal is decided by named buyers, account-level ads waste spend on the rest of the company — Influ2's person-based targeting is built for that case.
  • Forgetting the account list is the product. Every tool here is only as good as the list you feed it. A stale CRM list means ads served to people who left the company — Influ2 charges about $5 per engaged contact, so stale contacts burn money directly.

How we chose

We checked each vendor's own pricing page on November 4, 2026 and recorded the starting price exactly as shown, or as a custom quote where the vendor publishes no price — nine of the eleven tools sell that way. Two figures needed a note: Kwanzoo's $250 a month Start-Up credit plan comes from third-party reads of Kwanzoo's pricing, since G2 lists only its annual tiers, and the contract medians for Demandbase, 6sense, Influ2 and Bombora come from Vendr marketplace data via third-party benchmarks, not from the vendors. Ratings come from each tool's G2 reviews page opened on November 4, 2026. No rating is shown for Madison Logic, ZoomInfo Marketing or Bombora, whose G2 pages returned rate-limit errors when we checked, or for Kwanzoo, which has only four G2 reviews, the latest from April 2022. Terminus is not in this list because it merged into DemandScience in November 2024 and no longer exists as a standalone product. We ranked the tools by fit for the most common buyer — a B2B marketer running account-based ads — not by brand size. No vendor paid for a place in this list, and none of the links here are affiliate links.

What to do next

Start with the free entry of your top pick: AdRoll ABM's no-fee retargeting, a LinkedIn Ads campaign at the $10 daily minimum, or ZoomInfo Lite's free tier. Run one real account list for two weeks and check that reporting shows named accounts, not just impressions. If the numbers hold, take the shortlist to sales for quotes — and get two, since nine of these tools publish no price. If the ads are sorted but new accounts are not finding you, our monthly SEO service handles the visibility side — or compare providers in our guide to SEO companies for small business.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best account based advertising software in 2026?

Demandbase is the best all-round pick for enterprise teams: a full ABM suite with its own B2B ad platform, rated 4.4 out of 5 on G2. Mid-market teams should start with AdRoll ABM, whose retargeting tier has no platform fee. Teams that want AI to run the campaigns should look at Metadata.io, rated 4.6 out of 5.

How much does account based advertising software cost?

From $250 a month for Kwanzoo's self-serve credit plan to custom quotes in the tens of thousands a year. N.Rich publishes $10,320 a year for LITE. Vendr's median annual contracts are $68,591 for Demandbase, $62,220 for 6sense and $60,000 for Influ2. LinkedIn Ads has no subscription — the floor is $10 a day per campaign.

Is there a free account based advertising software?

No full platform is free, but three entries cost nothing to start. AdRoll ABM's Account-Based Retargeting has no platform fee — you pay only for media. LinkedIn Ads has no subscription or contract, just a $10 daily minimum. ZoomInfo Lite is a free tier with 10 credits a month. Each is a real way to test account-based ads before signing a contract.

What is the difference between account-based and person-based advertising?

Account-based advertising targets a company: anyone at the account who matches your filters can see the ad, and reporting shows account engagement. Person-based advertising targets a named individual at the account and reports exactly who viewed and clicked. Influ2 is person-based; Demandbase, 6sense and AdRoll ABM are account-based.

Do I need intent data to run account-based ads?

No, but it decides where the budget goes. Intent data shows which accounts are actively researching your category, so you spend on in-market accounts instead of a static list. 6sense, Demandbase, N.Rich and Bombora bundle intent; AdRoll ABM and Metadata.io take it from your stack. Without intent, you are advertising to a list that may not be buying.

Can I run account-based ads on LinkedIn only?

Yes, and many teams do. LinkedIn's Matched Audiences let you upload a target account list and target people at those companies by job title and seniority, with no contract and a $10 daily minimum. The trade-off is reach: buyers also see display, video and CTV ads elsewhere, which is why platforms like Madison Logic and Metadata.io run multi-channel campaigns.

What should I check before signing an ABM contract?

Four things: whether the price is a platform fee or bundled with media, what counts as an account or an engaged contact, how long implementation takes, and the renewal terms. Demandbase commonly takes one to three months to implement, Influ2 charges about $5 per engaged contact, and ZoomInfo auto-renews unless you cancel 60 to 90 days ahead.
