Using your won, lost and open deals to find and rank companies you aren’t selling to yet, across the whole market.
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.
What buyers weigh, grouped by the job each part does. A light blue background marks the stronger side.
| Topic | Ocean | Clari |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the right accounts | ||
| Lookalikes | Ocean is stronger here. Core of the product. Segments and models learned from your won and lost CRM deals. | Not its job. Clari works on deals and accounts already in your CRM, not on finding companies that resemble your customers. |
| Learns from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | Forecast AI is trained on your historical deal data, by deal size, stage and velocity, to predict outcomes of open deals. It doesn’t rank companies you aren’t selling to. |
| The reason behind each account | Ocean is stronger here. Segment, score, tier and matched signals on every account and every export. | Deal-health scores and stalled-deal and multi-threading flags show why a deal is at risk, for deals already in the pipeline. |
| Segments your market | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | Forecasts filter by bookings, renewals, region, segment, account size and period, and Analytics breaks down performance. |
| 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. | Not a contact database. It works on CRM, activity and call data, and Salesloft’s agents add enrichment. |
| Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | Signals from calls, deal changes and engagement across 32 connected sources in the Salesloft data layer. |
| Forecasting and pipeline inspection | Doesn’t forecast or inspect deals. It ranks companies and hands them off. | Clari is stronger here. An AI-validated forecast, week-over-week pipeline change tracking, live deal health and a view for each of the CRO, VP, manager and RevOps. |
| 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. | Works from your CRM and from Salesloft’s unified data layer, with tasks and AI emails triggered from Inspect and Forecast. |
| AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | An AI Forecast Agent, and the Salesloft MCP server that gives Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot context on live pipeline and deals. |
| Security and company scale | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | Clari listed ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27701, CSA, App Defense Alliance and GDPR. The combined Trust Center now covers Clari and Salesloft. |
| Pricing | Two ways to buy: a flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals and credit volume. | Not published. Clari’s old pricing page now shows Salesloft’s sales-call form. |
Clari never published prices, and since the merger it’s sold as part of Salesloft, which doesn’t publish them either.

Pull your won and lost deals, then run them through Ocean to see which segments you win and how the rest of the market ranks.
Find which Clari modules you pay for, who your account team is now and when the contract renews.
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 roadmap and packaging answers to move, because ownership and plans changed recently; get commitments in writing.
Expect annual terms that renew on their own, because that is how it is sold; get notice dates, price caps and export rights in writing.
Ocean is better because it tells it like it is: contextual intelligence to find your next deal, with the reason on every account.
