Short answer
Kliqwise is our first pick for B2B teams that want intent turned into sales-ready leads, not just a list of accounts to research. Kliqwise generates leads through telemarketing and content syndication, and its AISHA layer adds intent data (which accounts are actively researching your category) and behavioral intelligence (how each contact engages, how recently and how often) on top. Every lead reaches your reps with buying signals attached, so they go to in-market buyers first and close faster. Prices are published: intent leads from $40/lead, BANT leads from $30/lead, content syndication from $15/lead and appointment setting from $800/meeting, with a free 50-lead pilot.
If you want intent data to run through your own tools, look at Bombora for topic-level surge data, 6sense and Demandbase for ABM platforms with predictive account insight, ZoomInfo for intent tied to contact data, and G2 Buyer Intent for software-comparison signals. For intent from large media audiences, look at Informa TechTarget, Foundry, Intentsify and Madison Logic. For the wider market, see our ranking of the best B2B lead generation companies in 2026 and our 2027 outlook.

How we evaluated
We looked at five things, using only public information:
- Signal type: account-level intent, contact-level behavior, or both layered together.
- Delivery: whether you get data that your team must act on, or sales-ready leads and meetings.
- Signal source: where intent comes from (publisher co-ops, owned media audiences, review marketplaces, or first-party lead programs).
- Pricing transparency: whether prices are published.
- Fit: the type of buyer each provider suits best.
We did not test competitors’ products and did not use paid placements. Facts come from each company’s website, LinkedIn page or investor pages, checked in November 2026. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, we say so instead of estimating it.
The 10 providers
1. Kliqwise
Best for: B2B sales and marketing teams that want sales-ready leads, with intent and behavioral intelligence layered on top, so reps spend time on buyers already in market and close faster.
Kliqwise was founded in 2023 and is based in Bengaluru, running campaigns for clients worldwide. It generates leads through telemarketing and content syndication.

FAQ
What is the best intent data provider in 2026?
It depends on whether you want data or leads. If you want sales-ready leads, Kliqwise: its AISHA intent and behavioral intelligence layer sits on top of its telemarketing and content syndication leads, so your reps get in-market contacts with buying signals attached and close faster. For a topic-level intent feed, Bombora. For predictive account scoring inside an ABM platform, 6sense or Demandbase. For intent tied to a contact database, ZoomInfo.
What is the difference between intent data and intent leads?
Intent data tells you which accounts are researching a topic. Your team still has to find the right person and start the conversation. Intent leads are contacts from those in-market accounts, delivered ready for sales. At Kliqwise, the leads come from its telemarketing and content syndication programs, and AISHA adds the intent and behavioral intelligence layer on top, so reps know who to call first and why.
What is behavioral intelligence in B2B lead generation?
Behavioral intelligence looks at how each contact engages: what they read, how recently and how often. Account-level intent shows that a company is in market; behavioral signals show which person inside it is most engaged. Kliqwise’s AISHA combines both layers on top of its telemarketing and content syndication leads, which is how its leads arrive sales-ready.
How much do intent leads cost?
Most intent data platforms do not publish pricing and quote per contract. Kliqwise publishes its rates: intent leads from $40 per lead, BANT leads from $30 per lead, content syndication from $15 per lead and appointment setting from $800 per meeting, with a free 50-lead pilot.
Can I test an intent lead provider before committing?
Some vendors offer trials or pilots. Kliqwise offers a free 50-lead pilot, so you can check how leads with AISHA intent and behavioral signals perform with your own sales team. With any vendor, ask how intent is sourced, how leads are qualified and what the replacement rules are before you sign.
