Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Demandbase?

Demandbase is a B2B account-based go-to-market platform that uses AI to analyze buying signals, account activity and buying groups, then helps sales and marketing teams prioritize and win pipeline. It brings account data, intent and engagement together so both teams work from the same view of which companies are in market. Its products cover marketing, advertising, sales intelligence and data. Demandbase also supports account-based experience programs, where every touchpoint is shaped around the target account.

Demandbase is built for B2B companies that sell to defined target accounts with several decision-makers. Marketers use it to identify accounts, run targeted programs and measure pipeline impact, while sellers see which accounts are active and who is involved in the deal. The company also offers Mojo, a B2B marketing agent. Pricing is custom, combining a platform fee with a per-user fee.

Demandbase FAQ

What is Demandbase used for?

Demandbase is used for account-based marketing and sales. B2B teams use it to find companies showing buying signals, target them with ads and marketing programs, give sales reps context on active accounts and buying groups, and measure how those efforts affect pipeline and revenue. It is most useful for teams with long sales cycles and several stakeholders in each deal.

How much does Demandbase cost?

Demandbase does not list prices. Its sales and marketing platform is priced with a platform fee for software and services plus a flat fee for each user, so cost grows with team size. Advertising and data can be purchased separately. You fill out a form and the sales team builds a custom quote.

Demandbase vs 6sense: what's the difference?

Both are ABM platforms with intent data, advertising and sales intelligence. Demandbase emphasizes AI pipeline prioritization, buying group insight and flexible entry through advertising or data products. 6sense emphasizes its signal network, explainable predictive models and AI email agents. Pricing for both is custom, so most buyers compare demos.

Does Demandbase have a free trial?

Demandbase does not advertise a free trial or free plan. The usual path is to watch a demo or book a meeting with the sales team, who then propose a custom plan. Some companies start with Demandbase advertising or data before adopting the full platform. That demo is the best place to ask about onboarding time and the data you need to bring.

Is Demandbase good for small businesses?

Demandbase is mainly designed for mid-market and enterprise B2B companies with defined target accounts and buying committees. Small businesses may find the cost and setup effort high. Smaller teams often start with lighter intent or contact data tools and move to a platform like Demandbase as their ABM program matures. Before buying, confirm that your team has the time to run campaigns and act on the signals Demandbase surfaces.
