RollWorks is a solid entry-level option for teams dipping their toes into ABM. It’s easy to set up, relatively affordable, and gets you part of the way there.
But for many revenue teams, “part of the way” isn’t enough.
When your pipeline depends on influencing real people—not vague accounts—you need more precision, control, and transparency than RollWorks can offer. You need to know exactly who you're targeting, who’s engaging, and how your campaigns are influencing revenue.
If you’ve hit the ceiling with RollWorks—or you're evaluating your options before investing—this guide walks through seven alternatives worth exploring.
Each one offers a different advantage:
Let’s start with the one that flips the whole model on its head.
Influ2 is a contact-level advertising engine. With Influ2, revenue teams can:
Here's why teams choose Influ2 over RollWorks:
RollWorks has a decent ad offering for display and native advertising, but it doesn’t tick a lot of boxes when it comes to running ads on social, giving you limited reach within the broader buying journey.
Influ2 lets you run contact-level ads across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Bing, Taboola, and Amazon.
With RollWorks, you can mostly target at the account level, with some ability to narrow down based on job function or seniority. You can’t specify the exact people to whom you show ads, meaning you can’t guarantee that people with actual decision-making power will be the ones you reach.
With Influ2, you upload a list of named buyers and show ads to each individual prospect that are relevant to their persona and stage in the buying journey.
With this approach, you’re ensuring that your ads reach the same people your reps are going after with the same messaging Sales is using.
RollWorks gives you aggregated account-level intent data. They tell you things like “someone from Company X clicked your ads.” It doesn’t tell you which specific person clicked, though.
Infu2 does.
Since you know exactly who you’re targeting with your ad programs, you can track precisely who saw and clicked your ads.
The contact-level intent signals your ads generate go straight to your CRM, so reps have context where they need it and can align their email outreach with demonstrated intent.
Marketing can also further support SDR outreach by putting a face to the name and influence meeting attendance rates with ads you show only to people scheduled to be on the demo.
You can’t do that with RollWorks or any of the other alternatives on this list—you’d have to run the AE ad to the entire account.
6sense and other ABM platforms like Demandbase, RollWorks, and ZoomInfo share a lot of similar features. In a lot of cases, they are near interchangeable.
But 6sense’s edge is its use of predictive analytics and artificial intelligence to suggest to revenue teams which accounts they should go after. This integrates buyer behavior across third-party sites (e.g., on G2) and interactions with your own brand, where present, to help sales teams prioritize their workloads.
Key features:
Some users note that 6sense is more expensive than RollWorks, but has a stronger and easier-to-interpret intent data model.

Demandbase is a classic ABM alternative to RollWorks.
People choose it over RollWorks often when they make the move up to targeting enterprise companies. RollWorks’s data tends to focus more on SMBs and mid-market companies, where Demandbase has a lot more firmographic and technographic intel on enterprise-level companies.

Metadata.io is a B2B advertising platform.
Where RollWorks tackles account-based marketing as a whole (albeit with a heavy ad leaning), Metadata.io focuses specifically on optimizing paid campaigns, using AI-driven experiments as the catalyst.
Many teams use Metadata.io in conjunction with a platform with wider capabilities, like Demandbase or 6sense, since Metadata.io itself doesn’t have intent data and isn’t built to help teams identify target accounts.

ZoomInfo is another “everything in one box” ABM platform. It started out as a B2B data supplier (and that’s still one of its main strengths), and slowly built out or added functionality through acquisitions to become what ZoomInfo describes as a “GTM intelligence platform”.

StackAdapt, much like RollWorks, is a company that got its start as an advertising platform, then gradually expanded its offering to cover the entire customer journey of marketing touchpoints (e.g., abandoned cart emails automation).
Its biggest strength is its cross-channel ad capabilities. StackAdapt can run ads across native, display, video, connected TV (CTV), audio, in-game, and digital out-of-home (DOOH).

N.Rich is an ABM advertising platform. It helps revenue teams run programmatic ad campaigns, using a combination of first and third-party data to change ad creative based on funnel stage or trigger ads based on prospect behavior.
Compared to RollWorks, N.Rich’s biggest strength is its attribution, which is more granular and transparent than RollWorks’s aggregated model. However, N.Rich only offers advertising via native and display, missing out on the social media channel.
