AiSDR is an AI SDR platform built around Ami, an agent trained on more than 17,000 campaigns. You describe who you want to reach, and it searches a 300M+ lead database and LinkedIn data, enriches contacts, writes researched messages and runs sequences across email, LinkedIn and Aircall call steps.
Learning which companies fit from your own won and lost deals, then ranking the whole market with the reason on each account.
Ocean is contextual intelligence for go-to-market. It reads what every company actually does from its own website, learns what good looks like from your closed-won and closed-lost deals, and ranks your whole market against it, with the reason behind each score. The ranked accounts arrive in your CRM, your rep queue or your AI agents.

| Topic | Ocean | AiSDR |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the right accounts | ||
| Lookalikes | Ocean is stronger here. Core of the product. Segments and models learned from your won and lost CRM deals. | Live lead search from a plain-language ICP description, over a 300M+ lead database and Sales Navigator data, with company news, hiring and technology filters. It doesn’t describe finding lookalikes of your customers. |
| Learns your ICP from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | You write the ICP, and it can score accounts against up to four criteria you set. Ami learns from campaigns, but its pages don’t describe learning fit from your CRM’s won and lost deals. |
| The reason behind each account | Ocean is stronger here. Segment, score, tier and matched signals on every account and every export. | Researches the top three most relevant data points for each lead and uses them in the message. It doesn’t describe a ranked fit reason per account. |
| Segments your market | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | A library of proven GTM plays and an AI strategist that suggests campaigns. |
| Contacts and data | ||
| Contacts | Verified emails and direct phones from a waterfall across 16+ data sources. Charged only when a contact is found, and exports are free. | 2B+ profiles from LinkedIn and other sources, waterfall enrichment across 20 data providers and triple bounce checks. |
| Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | Job changes, new hires, funding, news, technology use, and LinkedIn profile views, posts and keywords. LinkedIn signals and website-visitor tracking are on team plans. |
| Sending, replies and booking | Ranks accounts and hands them off. Sending stays in your own tools. | Email, LinkedIn requests, messages and voice notes, and Aircall call steps in one sequence, with a unified inbox and AI reply handling. |
| Workflow and pricing | ||
| CRM sync | Two-way with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Attio. Reads your deals to learn, then writes scores, segments and signals back. | Two-way HubSpot sync on every plan, with Salesforce on team plans, and call tasks created in the CRM. |
| AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | Ami runs inside the app as an agent. We didn’t find an MCP server or public API documented. |
| Security and company scale | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | Lists a SOC 2 Type 2 report for June to December 2025, GDPR, CCPA and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, with a Trust Center and a DPA on request. |
| Pricing | Two ways to buy: a flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals and credit volume. | $1.50 per person prospected, charged daily, with no subscription. Teams contacting 1,000+ people a month get volume pricing. |
AiSDR publishes its prices. In October 2026 it replaced its Solo, Explore and Scale plans with pay-as-you-go pricing, so older write-ups list different numbers.
Pay as you go scales with volume: about $300 for 200 people and $1,500 for 1,000. The earlier plans were Solo at 250 dollars a month, Explore at 900 and Scale at 2,500, with contact caps of 200 to 2,500 a month, and some pricing FAQs still describe them. Check the date on any price you’re quoted. AiSDR’s own benchmark is one to three meetings per 100 people reached.

Contacts are charged only when one is found. Exports are free.
See Ocean pricingAiSDR sends to the people you point it at, and pays by the person. Ocean helps make sure each of those people is at a company that fits.
Choose AiSDR if Use both ifFive steps. Most teams keep AiSDR for sending and use Ocean to choose who it reaches.
Export the people Ami is working and the ICP behind each campaign, then run the same companies through Ocean to compare them against your closed-won deals.
Pay as you go is charged daily and can be stopped at any time. On a team plan, check your quarterly term and notice.
Connect HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Attio. Ocean reads your closed-won and closed-lost deals to learn what a good account looks like.
Ocean proposes segments and scores, with the reason on each. Correct anything that doesn’t match how you sell.
Scores, segments and matched signals go back to your CRM, or into Apollo, Instantly or Lemlist sequences.
Expect rules, filters and signals you set, because a model of your own deals is not what it leads with; ask for a test on your accounts.
Expect a quote that grows with seats, credits and add-ons, because the entry price is the smallest line; price your real volume.
Expect an accuracy claim, because vendors measure it on their own samples; test find and bounce rates on your own list.
Expect export and no-code connectors first, with two-way sync tied to the plan; confirm what is live on yours.
Ocean is better because it tells it like it is: contextual intelligence to find your next deal, with the reason on every account.
