Salesforce B2B automation, with GBP pricing published.
This is the product most people still call Pardot. Salesforce renamed it Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and while the Pardot brand is dead in marketing terms it survives technically, with tenants still on pardot domains and the API still named for it. It handles B2B marketing automation: email campaigns, landing pages and forms, lead scoring and grading, Engagement Studio for multi-step nurture programmes, and deep native integration with Salesforce CRM, which is the main reason to choose it. UK pricing is published in pounds, priced per organisation per month on an annual contract across four tiers, with contact bands and per-unit add-ons on top. There is no first-party MCP server for this product, though Salesforce does ship one for its B2C marketing product, and Account Engagement instead gained a set of Agentforce actions.
The case for it is Salesforce integration and nothing else, and that case is strong: if your sales team lives in Salesforce, having lead scoring, nurture and campaign attribution on the same object removes an entire class of sync problems that plague every other combination. The published GBP pricing is a genuine advantage over most enterprise martech, which makes you ask. Several real caveats. The interface is dated and the learning curve is steep, Salesforce's development attention is visibly moving to its newer marketing product with existing customers routed there through permission licences, and there is a real risk of paying twice if you end up holding both. Pricing is per organisation rather than per user, which penalises small teams badly at the entry tier. And no first-party MCP server exists for this product, only agent actions, which puts it behind most of this directory on agent readiness.
Best for: B2B companies already running Salesforce CRM who want marketing automation on the same record without an integration project.
Pricing: From £1,000/org/mo billed annually (Enterprise)
