The short answer
ZoomInfo intent data shows which companies are researching topics you choose, scored against each company's own baseline. On ZoomInfo's pricing page, read November 10, 2026, intent starts on Copilot Advanced for sales teams, and the Marketing plans include 25, 100 or unlimited topics. ZoomInfo publishes no prices, and its Streaming Intent add-on is priced on usage.
Intent names companies. When you have a name at a spiking account, the contact finder returns a verified work email inside a free Cleanlist AI workspace, and the steps for a whole account list are further down this page.

Every fact below was read on a ZoomInfo-owned page on November 10, 2026.
| Question | Answer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Signals that a company is researching your topics more than it usually does | ZoomInfo docs and GTM.AI |
| Topics | 4,500+ on its data page, 5,000+ on its offer page and GTM.AI listing, "over 12,000" lower on the same offer page | zoominfo.com, gtm.ai |
| How it is scored | A signal score from 60 to 100, and an audience strength from A to E | gtm.ai |
| Sales plans with intent | Copilot Advanced and Copilot Enterprise; none listed on ZoomInfo Professional | zoominfo.com/pricing |
| Marketing plans | 25 topics on Marketing Demand, 100 on ABM Lite, unlimited on ABM Enterprise | zoominfo.com/pricing |
| Price | None published. Streaming Intent is an add-on priced on expected usage | zoominfo.com/pricing |
| Where it shows up | Copilot, your CRM and marketing tools, and the GTM.AI API and MCP server | zoominfo.com, gtm.ai |
What ZoomInfo intent data is
ZoomInfo's documentation defines an intent signal as an account that is "actively researching one or more of your intent topics/clusters". You pick the topics, such as your software category or a competitor's name, and ZoomInfo flags the companies whose research on them rises.
ZoomInfo describes its sources in a few ways across its pages:
- A co-op of B2B sites. Its offer page says its topics come from "a cooperative of 5,000 B2B sites".
- Content consumption. Its FAQ cites "millions of content consumption events across publishers, websites, and research platforms", and its GTM.AI listing names a "broad publisher and review-site network".
- Device and IP data. Its features page cites "210 million IP to Org Pairings" and "more than 6 trillion new keyword-to-device pairings", sourced monthly from "over 90% of accessible devices across the U.S."
The same features page describes two extras. Person-Level Intent shows the people inside a researching account, with their role and seniority. Guided Intent, which ZoomInfo calls exclusive to ZoomInfo, prioritizes trending topics that ZoomInfo says are proven to drive successful outcomes. The pricing page does not say which plans include either one, so ask before you count on them.
Three topic counts on ZoomInfo's own pages
ZoomInfo's pages do not agree on how many topics it tracks. On November 10, 2026, its data page said 4,500+, its buyer intent offer page and its GTM.AI listing said 5,000+, and a lower section of the same offer page said "over 12,000". For buying, the number that matters is how many topics your plan lets you track.
How ZoomInfo scores intent
ZoomInfo's GTM.AI listing describes three fields on each intent record:
| Field | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Signal score | 60 to 100: how far a company's current research sits above its own historical baseline |
| Audience strength | A to E: how large the group researching the topic is at that company, with A the largest |
| Spike detail | How many signals arrived in the time window |
Because 60 is the floor, every signal you see has already cleared a threshold. ZoomInfo's own intent play page suggests a stricter rule for outreach: "Target Manager+ with high frequency when they reach an 80+ intent signal score."
Inside Copilot, intent also drives an account-level alert. ZoomInfo's documentation, updated July 21, 2026, says the alert grades intent as Zero, Low, Medium or High and fires only when it moves up. It checks for changes daily on the tier the documentation calls AI Enterprise and weekly on AI Advanced. The pricing page names the sales plans Copilot Advanced and Copilot Enterprise.
Which ZoomInfo plans include intent data
ZoomInfo's pricing page, read November 10, 2026, lists intent features by plan.
Sales plans
| Plan | Intent on the pricing page | Other signals listed | How you start |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZoomInfo Professional | None listed | None | Free trial button |
| Copilot Advanced | "Buyer Intent signals and clusters" | Website visitors | Free trial button |
| Copilot Enterprise | "Real-time buyer intent signals" and "Custom Intent signals" | Earnings call signals | Free trial button |
Marketing plans
| Plan | Intent topics | Also included | How you start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing Demand | 25 (Custom & Streaming), plus predictive intent-based targeting | 75K credits | Demo |
| ABM Lite | 100 (Custom & Streaming), plus intent-based campaign optimization | ZoomInfo Display Network, 10 active campaigns and 10K accounts | Demo |
| ABM Enterprise | Unlimited (Custom & Streaming) | 150K credits, unlimited Display Network campaigns | Demo |
The add-on. ZoomInfo's pricing FAQ says its Streaming Intent solution "is available as an add on" for teams that want real-time visibility, priced on expected usage: the number of keywords and the accounts you track.
The pricing page does not say whether the free trials include intent. ZoomInfo's buyer intent offer page advertises a 7-day trial with no credit card and does not say whether intent is part of it.
What ZoomInfo intent data costs
ZoomInfo publishes no price for any plan or for the Streaming Intent add-on. Its pricing FAQ says packaging depends on "the number of licenses our customers require and the desired level of access to data and features", and that Streaming Intent pricing "is based on expected usage". Every number comes from a sales conversation.
Third-party estimates and buyer-reported contract data for ZoomInfo, including figures for the intent add-on, are collected in our ZoomInfo pricing guide. Before you ask for a quote, settle these:
- Sales or marketing. Copilot Advanced puts intent in front of reps. The Marketing plans set a topic count and add ad targeting.
- How many topics. 25 topics on Marketing Demand and 100 on ABM Lite are the allowances to plan around.
- Real time or not. Copilot Enterprise lists real-time signals, and Streaming Intent is a separate add-on. Ask which one the quote includes.
- Which accounts. Streaming Intent is priced on the accounts you track, so a named account list keeps it smaller.
- Where the data goes. Copilot, your CRM through Enrich, or your own systems through the API.
- Terms. Ask for the contract length, renewal date and notice period in writing.
Where ZoomInfo intent data shows up
- In Copilot. Copilot ranks accounts on buying signals, including intent and website visits. Our ZoomInfo Copilot review covers what each plan does with them.
- In Salesforce, through Enrich. ZoomInfo's Enrich for Salesforce guide says that if your organization has access to ZoomInfo intent and Scoops data, a scheduled account job can write the past 30 days of both into Salesforce custom objects that show on the account page. The guide adds that this uses separate API calls, can arrive after the job finishes, and is left out of the Enrich dashboard. Our ZoomInfo Enrich guide covers setup and limits.
- In HubSpot and other tools. ZoomInfo's offer page says its Salesforce and HubSpot integration "routes high-intent accounts to sales", and its FAQ says intent flows into CRMs, marketing automation and engagement platforms.
- Through the API and MCP server. ZoomInfo's GTM.AI listing says searching intent with its MCP tool uses no credits. Our ZoomInfo API guide covers the intent search and enrich endpoints and their credit rules.
ZoomInfo intent data vs Bombora
Both sell account-level intent, both score research against each company's own history, and neither publishes a price.
| ZoomInfo intent | Bombora Company Surge | |
|---|---|---|
| Source, as each vendor describes it | A co-op of 5,000 B2B sites, plus content, IP and device data | Bombora's Data Co-op of publishers and brand sites |
| Topics | 4,500+, 5,000+ or "over 12,000", depending on the page | 25,300+ |
| Score | Signal score 60 to 100, audience strength A to E | 60 or more on a topic counts as a surge |
| How you buy it | Inside ZoomInfo's sales and marketing plans | Direct from Bombora, or inside 80+ partner platforms |
| Contacts in the same tool | Yes, ZoomInfo's own contact data | Company Surge scores companies |
| Published price | None | None |
Bombora's partner list, read November 10, 2026, does not include ZoomInfo. For Bombora's side in full, see our Bombora pricing and reviews guide. For the wider field, including 6sense, G2 and Demandbase, see our intent data providers comparison, and for the two ABM platforms on their own, our 6sense review and Demandbase review.
Is ZoomInfo intent data worth it?
ZoomInfo intent fits teams that already buy ZoomInfo and want intent, contacts and account research in one place. Sales teams on Copilot Advanced get intent with the plan, and marketing teams running account-based ads get topics, audiences and the Display Network together.
It fits less well when you need the signal and little else. If you only want topic scores pushed into your CRM, compare a raw feed and the platform plans that include a few intent topics, such as Apollo's, which publishes its price. Our buying signals guide lists signals you can watch for free, such as new hires and funding.
On contact data, our own numbers give one reference point. In our 1,000-lead test in March 2026, ZoomInfo matched a work email for 84% of the leads and a mobile number for 67%, against 78% and 41% for Apollo. That test had no Cleanlist AI arm, and the method is in Apollo vs ZoomInfo.

Our product

Cleanlist AI runs waterfall enrichment across 25+ data providers in sequence and stops at the first deliverable result, at 1 credit per verified work email and 10 per phone number. A missed email or phone number costs nothing. It returns 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers on the Cleanlist AI 500-Lead Enrichment Benchmark, which is our own test run on a 500-lead sample. Plans start at $49 per seat a month.

- Fits when
- Your intent tool names spiking accounts, and you need the buying committee inside them
- You want verified emails and phone numbers checked across many providers before a rep reaches out
- You want the finished contacts in HubSpot or Salesforce rather than in a CSV
- Pairs with
- ZoomInfo, Bombora or any intent tool that names the accounts
- Your sequencer, if you already run one. Cleanlist AI pushes to Salesloft and Lemlist, and its own Sequences send from your inbox
Here is the job, step by step, with what each step costs:
- Export the spiking accounts. Pull the company domains from your intent report or CRM view. Keep the accounts that fit your ICP.
- Search the people at those companies. In People Search, filter by company or start from a saved company list, then add a department and a seniority. ZoomInfo's own play suggests Manager and above. Searching 1B+ profiles costs 0 credits.
- Keep 1 to 3 people per account. Map the topic to the role that owns it: a security topic to the security lead, a payroll topic to finance.
- Get verified contact details. Each person runs through 25+ providers until one returns a verified result. A verified work email is 1 credit and a phone number is 10, and a lookup that finds nothing costs nothing.
- Look up one name at a time. When an alert gives you a name, type it with the company into the contact finder or the email finder.
- Send. From Starter, add the people to a Cleanlist AI sequence. On Pro, sync them to HubSpot or Salesforce, or have agents push them to Salesloft or Lemlist.
What it costs: every new workspace starts with a 14-day Pro trial with up to 3 seats and 250 credits, plus 100 more when you register with a work email, and a card is required. After the trial, the Free plan keeps 50 credits a month. Starter is $49 a seat a month with 750 credits a seat, and Pro is $89 with 1,500.
How we test. We publish our tests. On a 100-lead test, Cleanlist AI returned a verified email for 98% of leads and a phone number for 85%, against about 80% and 45% for Apollo. It returned 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers on the Cleanlist AI 500-Lead Enrichment Benchmark, which is our own test run on a 500-lead sample. The 1,000-lead test above covered ZoomInfo and Apollo only. The methods are in our accuracy benchmark write-up.
