The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 6sense pricing is not published and requires contacting sales, making budgeting and comparison difficult for smaller teams.; Default pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
  • They diverge on capability: 6sense covers Signalverse intent data, Default covers Inbound routing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

6sense

  • Pricing is not published and requires contacting sales, making budgeting and comparison difficult for smaller teams.
  • Implementation and onboarding can take several weeks due to the complexity of data integration and workflow setup.
  • The platform is oriented toward mid-market and enterprise B2B teams, so smaller companies may find the cost difficult to justify.
  • Data credit consumption for unlocking contact records adds an additional variable cost on top of base subscription fees.

Default

  • Pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
  • Seats are split into user seats and routing seats at different prices, which makes headcount planning awkward and means an organisation can be surprised by which roles turn out to need the expensive kind.
  • Enrichment is credit metered, so cost rises with inbound volume exactly when the business is doing well, and a spike in form fills is also a spike in the bill.
  • Consolidating routing, enrichment, scoring and scheduling into one vendor puts a single point of failure between a demo request and a sales representative, which is the highest value path in the business.
  • The vendor offers budget to buy out incumbent contracts, which is effective marketing but tells you switching costs in this category are high in both directions, including out of Default later.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

6sense: What does 6sense do?

6sense is an account-based marketing platform that captures intent, firmographic, and contact signals to identify accounts actively researching a purchase, then helps sales and marketing teams prioritize and personalize outreach to them.

Source
Default: What does Default replace?

Typically a scheduler, a lead routing tool, an enrichment provider and part of a workflow automation layer.

6sense: Does 6sense publish its pricing?

No. 6sense's pricing page describes tiered Sales Intelligence packages (with combinations of data credits and predictive AI) but does not list dollar amounts; prospects must book a demo to get a quote.

Source
Default: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted, and reported structures involve a monthly platform fee plus separate user and routing seats plus metered enrichment credits.

6sense: What is included in 6sense's Sales Intelligence tiers?

Tiers combine predictive AI scoring, Sales Copilot (AI recommended actions and account summaries), company/contact data acquisition, buyer discovery, list building, alerts, and CRM/reporting integration in varying combinations.

Source
Default: Does it replace the CRM?

No. It sits in front of the CRM, routing and enriching records and keeping them clean, and it writes to Salesforce or HubSpot.

Default: Is it worth it for a small team?

Rarely. The platform fee before seats means the economics work when you are retiring several existing subscriptions.
