A fit for GTM engineers who build in tables. Bitscale is a Clay-style GTM workspace. You bring rows from Apollo, LinkedIn, Google Maps, a CRM, a CSV or a webhook, then add columns that find emails and phones, run AI research, pull buying signals and push results to your CRM or sequencer. ### Ocean Learning which companies fit from your own deals, then ranking the 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. --- ## Bitscale and Ocean features, side by side What buyers weigh, grouped by the job each part does. A light blue background marks the stronger side. __Ocean vs Bitscale comparison__ | Topic | Ocean | Bitscale | | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Finding the right accounts | | | | Lookalikes | Ocean is stronger here. Core of the product. Segments and models learned from your won and lost CRM deals. | Company lookalikes are one of several row sources you can add to a grid, next to Apollo, LinkedIn and Google Maps. | | Learns your ICP from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | ICP fit is a column you write: a prompt that flags a company true or false against rules you set, such as industry and headcount. It doesn’t describe learning them from your CRM deals. | | The reason behind each account | Ocean is stronger here. Segment, score, tier and matched signals on every account and every export. | AI research columns return text you prompt for. There’s no fit score with a reason built from your deals. | | Segments your market | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | Saved filters and playbooks per motion. It doesn’t describe segmenting by win rate or deal size. | | 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. | An email and phone waterfall across 18+ providers with verification, charged only when a provider returns a valid result. It claims 95% coverage on its homepage, and its own docs say about 80–85% for emails. | | Company data | 85M+ companies, built from the open web. | 300M+ contacts and 100+ data sources by its own count, including web, hiring and social sources. | | Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | 15 triggers you can stack, such as exec hires, tech-stack changes, funding and hiring posts, plus 50+ intent enrichments on the free plan. | | Workflow and pricing | | | | Workflow building | Hands ranked accounts and contacts to your CRM, sequencer and workflows. | The core product: grids with action columns, 50+ playbooks, schedules, webhooks and an HTTP API. | | CRM sync | Two-way with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Attio. Reads your deals to learn, then writes scores, segments and signals back. | Two-way sync with HubSpot from Growth and Salesforce from Booster, writing back only changed fields. | | AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | An MCP with 49 tools that builds and runs grids from Claude. The docs say it’s available to beta users and enterprise customers only. | | Security and company scale | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | Says it completed a SOC 2 Type II examination, and lists GDPR, CCPA and ISO 27001 privacy practices. The pricing page lists SOC 2 and SSO under Enterprise. | | Pricing | Two ways to buy: a flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals and credit volume. | Free with 200 credits, then $349 a month for Growth and $799 for Booster, with Enterprise from $15K a year. Priced per workspace, not per seat. | --- ## What do customers say about Bitscale? Reviewers like how fast and clean it is to enrich a list. The review base is small, and the complaints are about setup time and how quickly credits go. 4.6 out of 5 Bitscale’s average on G2 ### What people like * Ease of use and speed * Enrichment from many sources * CRM enrichment and two-way sync ### What people dislike * A learning curve for workflows and CRM mapping * Slow runs on larger datasets * Credits that go faster than expected * CRM sync locked behind the higher plans The rating is from G2, from 13 reviews, as reported by third-party reviewers in 2026. Bitscale’s own pages quote a higher score. Third-party reviewers say independent review coverage is thin. --- ## How much is Bitscale? Bitscale sells monthly credits per workspace, not seats. Credits are spent when a provider returns a valid result, and failed lookups and CRM syncs are free. * 200 credits to start, with 50+ intent enrichments and 10+ data sources: Free * Growth, with 15,000 credits, 100+ sources, two-way HubSpot sync, webhooks and an HTTP API. Booster is $799 for 50,000 credits and adds Salesforce: $349 a month * Enterprise, billed annually, with custom credits, SSO, custom CRM sync and a dedicated GTM engineer: $15K+ a year ### What the price leaves out Third-party reviewers note that CRM sync sits behind the higher plans and that credits go faster than expected, so a small test batch is the safest way to price it. Annual billing takes about 10% off, which is where the $314 and $719 figures you may see come from. Directories list older or different credit counts, so use the pricing page. ### How Ocean charges A flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals. Contacts are charged only when one is found. Exports are free. [See Ocean pricing](/pricing.md) --- ## Should you choose Ocean or Bitscale? Bitscale fills and routes the rows. Ocean decides which companies should be in them. ### Choose Bitscale if * You want one workspace to enrich, research and push to your CRM * You have a GTM engineer or want Bitscale’s to build the workflows * Your bottleneck is contact coverage and signal triggers, not account choice ### Use both if * You already run Bitscale grids and want them to start from accounts ranked on your own deals * You want to connect through Ocean’s API or MCP so Ocean supplies the accounts and Bitscale enriches and sequences them [Talk to us](https://book.ocean.io/inbound/api) ### Choose Ocean if * Your main job is deciding which accounts fit, not enriching more rows * You want the ICP learned from your won and lost deals, not written as a prompt * You want the reason on every account * You want a documented MCP available on your plan [Start for free](https://book.ocean.io/inbound/api) --- ## How to switch from Bitscale to Ocean Five steps. Most teams keep Bitscale for enrichment and add Ocean to choose the accounts it runs on. ### 1. Export the grids that pick your accounts Export the grids and note the filters and ICP prompts behind them, then run the same companies through Ocean to compare the ranking. ### 2. Check your credits and billing date Find your plan and credit balance. Rollover is up to 3x the plan, and there are no refunds, so note when you renew. ### 3. Connect your CRM Connect HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Attio. Ocean reads your closed-won and closed-lost deals to learn what a good account looks like. ### 4. Review the segments and scores Ocean proposes segments and scores, with the reason on each. Correct anything that doesn’t match how you sell. ### 5. Send scored accounts Scores, segments and matched signals go back to your CRM, or into Apollo, Instantly or Lemlist sequences. ### Questions to ask before you rely on Bitscale for targeting * **Is the fit column a prompt I write, or does it learn from our won and lost deals?** 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. * **What coverage did we get on our own list, by field, not the homepage figure?** Expect a headline database size, because counts come from its own records and not your market; ask for coverage on your list. * **Is the MCP available on our plan, or only to beta and enterprise customers?** Expect roadmap and packaging answers to move, because ownership and plans changed recently; get commitments in writing. * **Which plan do we need for our CRM, and how many credits does a full enrichment use?** Expect a quote that grows with seats, credits and add-ons, because the entry price is the smallest line; price your real volume. Ocean is better because it tells it like it is: contextual intelligence to find your next deal, with the reason on every account.

You bring rows from a database, CRM or CSV, add columns that enrich contacts, run AI research and pull buying signals, and push the results to your CRM or sequencer. It prices per workspace, not per seat. **How much does Bitscale cost?** There’s a free plan with 200 credits, then Growth at $349 a month and Booster at $799 a month, both billed monthly, with about 10% off annually. Enterprise starts at $15K a year. Credits roll over up to 3x the plan. **How is Bitscale different from Clay?** Both are grid workspaces that enrich rows from many providers. Bitscale prices per workspace with credits and includes a dedicated GTM engineer on higher plans. Neither decides which companies fit your business: that’s the part Ocean covers. **Does Bitscale learn from my won and lost deals?** It doesn’t describe doing so. ICP fit is a column you write as a prompt, with rules such as industry and headcount. Ocean reads your CRM deals, learns the ICP and ranks the market against it. **Does Bitscale have an MCP server?** Yes. The Bitscale MCP exposes 49 tools for building and running grids from Claude, and its docs say it’s available to beta users and enterprise customers. Ocean has an MCP server and a public API on the same data and lookalike engine. **Does Bitscale integrate with my CRM?** Yes: two-way sync with HubSpot from Growth and Salesforce from Booster, plus Attio and Zoho CRM through its MCP. Ocean has native two-way sync with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Attio. **Is Bitscale ready for an enterprise security review?** Its security page says it completed a SOC 2 Type II examination and lists GDPR, CCPA and ISO 27001 privacy practices. Subprocessor information is available on request. Ask for the report and a data-processing agreement, as you would with any vendor. **How does Ocean find lookalike companies?** Ocean reads what each company does from its own website, learns from your closed-won and closed-lost deals, and returns ranked matches with the reason on each one. --- ## Sources (15) checked November 13, 2026 * [Bitscale](https://www.bitscale.ai/) * [Bitscale pricing](https://www.bitscale.ai/pricing) * [Bitscale pricing: plans and what’s included (Bitscale blog)](https://bitscale.ai/blogs/bitscale-pricing-plans-and-whats-included) * [Bitscale security overview](https://www.bitscale.ai/security) * [Bitscale MCP capabilities](https://docs.bitscale.ai/mcp-reference/capabilities) * [Bitscale MCP overview](https://docs.bitscale.ai/mcp-reference) * [Bitscale for SDRs (docs)](https://docs.bitscale.ai/playbook/sdr-playbook) * [BitScale review 2026 (SyncGTM)](https://syncgtm.com/blog/bitscale-review) * [Bitscale review (Salesforge)](https://www.salesforge.ai/blog/bitscale-review) * [Bitscale review: is the credit system worth it?
