Qualified Lead Acquisition Cost Comparison
Scenario: Identify and contact 1,000 qualified B2B leads
Bombora-only stack:
- Bombora Basic: $30,000/year → Identifies accounts in active research
- ⚠️ Problem: Bombora does NOT provide individual emails or phone numbers
- Requires complementary enrichment tool (Hunter, ZoomInfo, etc.)
- Total estimated cost: $30,000 + $3,000 to $10,000 (enrichment tool) = $33,000 to $40,000/year
Bombora + Derrick stack (complementary approach):
- Bombora Basic: $30,000/year → Identifies priority accounts
- Derrick SMALL+: $22/month ($264/year) → Enriches 1,000 leads × (1 LinkedIn + 5 Email) = 6,000 credits/month
