Pricing
Data subscription, quote-based.
Pricing summarised in October 2026 and not re-checked since. Vendors change plans often, so confirm current pricing with Bombora before you budget.
Security and governance
Intent and visitor data mixes company and sometimes personal data. Check consent and cookie requirements in each market you sell to, how identification is done, and whether the vendor offers a data processing agreement and regional hosting.
