Act-On is a dedicated B2B marketing automation platform with an unusual pricing model. Instead of charging for every contact in the database, it charges for Active Contacts, the contacts you engage in a given month, and keeps the engagement history of inactive contacts so you do not have to purge them. Professional starts at $900 a month for 2,500 active contacts and includes automated engagement programs, website and landing page visitor tracking, scoring for visitors, prospects and customers, behavioral and demographic lists, landing pages and forms, an open API and AI predictive lead scoring. Enterprise adds CRM integration with Salesforce, SugarCRM, NetSuite and Dynamics, Data Studio for BI reporting, account-based marketing and twice the user accounts. On Professional, several of those are paid add-ons. An annual contract is required. Act-On suits B2B teams with a big database and a smaller active audience, but its entry price is high for small companies.
