Used by teams at
Day AIA customer record that builds itself from calls, email and Slack. A fit for teams that want agents without heavy CRM admin.
Day AI calls itself a context graph and agent control plane, and its CRMx is built around that. It ingests Gmail, Calendar, Slack, meeting recordings and tools like Gong, and sources each data point with a chain of reasoning.
Ranking every company in your market by fit, including the ones you’ve never talked to, learned from your won and lost deals.
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 | Day AI |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the right accounts | ||
| Lookalikes | Ocean is stronger here. Core of the product. Segments and models learned from your won and lost CRM deals. | Only on its top tier: Super agents prospect the web for net-new accounts and lookalikes of your best customers, and load them into campaigns. |
| Learns your ICP from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | Builds memory from your own conversations and CRM records. It doesn’t describe segments learned from won and lost deals with win rate, cycle and deal size. |
| The reason behind each account | Ocean is stronger here. Segment, score, tier and matched signals on every account and every export. | Each data point carries its source and a chain of reasoning, so you can see where a fact about a customer came from. |
| Coverage beyond your own conversations | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | Context is limited to companies you’ve talked to and records you hold, until the Super tier adds web prospecting. |
| 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. | People and organizations created from your email, calendar and meetings. Contact identification, finding the right people at target accounts, starts on Executive. |
| Customer memory and agent work | Doesn’t record your meetings or run agents on your pipeline. It decides which companies to work. | Builds the record from meetings, Gmail, Calendar and Slack, drafts follow-ups, manages the pipeline and runs campaign sequences with agents. |
| Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | Signals come from your own conversations and connected tools, not from a company signal database. |
| 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. | Replaces a CRM, or reads and writes Salesforce and HubSpot through their MCP servers on paid plans. Outlook mail doesn’t sync into its graph yet. |
| AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | An MCP server for Claude, Cursor and Claude Code over OAuth. It needs a paid agent tier, and your tier’s tools and limits apply. |
| Security and privacy | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | States SOC 2 Type II, with the report available under NDA, a published data processing addendum and no model training on customer data. |
| Pricing | Two ways to buy: a flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals and credit volume. | Per agent, not per seat: free, then $24, $60 and $200 a month, and $800 a month on annual plans for the top tier. |
Day AI charges per agent, flat by tier, with no per-seat or usage-based fees. A workspace needs at least one Professional or Executive agent, and colleagues can then join free.
Prices are for annual billing paid upfront, with discounts as you add agents, and the pricing page describes a 20% discount for annual plans. Lookalike and net-new prospecting, the closest overlap with Ocean, is only on the top tier. Rival pages that quote $30 to $60 a user describe an older or different model, so use the pricing page.
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.

Choose Day AI if Use both ifFive steps. Most teams keep Day AI as their customer memory and add Ocean to find who to talk to next.
Export closed deals from Day AI or your CRM, then run them through Ocean to learn which segments convert and how many companies look like them.
List your agents by tier, the skills they run and whether you need the top tier’s prospecting.
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 export and no-code connectors first, with two-way sync tied to the plan; confirm what is live on yours.
Expect a trust-center link or a request form, because reports sit behind a sales step; ask for the date and scope.
Ocean is better because it tells it like it is: contextual intelligence to find your next deal, with the reason on every account.
