6sense vs Bombora

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

6sense

Sales-quoted Free tier

Enterprise sales intelligence with predictive AI, intent data and contact credits. Quote-based; pricing comes through a demo.

Where 6sense fits

  • Enterprise sales teams prioritizing accounts with predictive scores
  • GTM orgs that want intent, technographics and visitor ID together
  • RevOps connecting 6sense to CRM and sales engagement tools
  • Sellers who will work from the Chrome extension

Bombora

Quote

The original B2B intent data provider: Company Surge flags which companies are researching a topic more than usual this week, and the data flows into your CRM, marketing and ad tools. Enterprise only, with sales-quoted pricing. Best for marketing and sales teams at larger B2B companies running account-based programmes, not for recruiters looking for candidates or contact details.

Where Bombora fits

  • B2B marketing teams running account-based campaigns
  • Sales teams prioritising target accounts by intent
  • Staffing firms watching accounts research hiring and staffing topics

Where they pull apart

6sense

Stands out: Predictive account scores plus a Sales Copilot that recommends actions, summarizes accounts and drafts messages.

Watch out: No public price. Emails, phones and exports need separate data credits, and predictive AI is a separate package.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published per-seat checkout
  • Recruiters looking for a candidate sourcing database

Bombora

Stands out: Its intent comes from a co-op of thousands of B2B publisher and brand sites carrying Bombora's own tag, and most of that data is shared with Bombora alone. That makes it a signal you cannot rebuild from public web data, and it reaches many other sales tools through partners such as 6sense and Apollo.

Watch out: It tells you which companies are researching, not which people, and gives no emails or phone numbers, so you still need a contact data tool. The topics track software and service buying rather than hiring, there is no published price or self-serve plan, and it is aimed at companies with 100 or more employees.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters sourcing candidates
  • Small teams wanting a self-serve plan
  • Buyers who need named contacts and emails
