## How do Ocean and Day AI differ?

### ![Day AI logo: Day AI alternatives, pricing and comparison with Ocean](https://cdn-bunny.ocean.io/assets/custom/compare/day-ai-mark.webp?width=256) Day AI

A 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.

### Ocean

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.

## How much is Day AI?

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.

* Free teammates capture meetings, email and calendar, and can search and share. Turbo at $24 an agent adds tasks, email drafts and two automated skills: Free to $24 a month
* Professional runs pipeline and campaign sequences with five automated skills. Executive adds campaigns from your lists, contact identification and ten skills: $60 and $200 a month
* Super, annual only, adds net-new and lookalike prospecting, a forward-deployed account executive and 20 custom smart properties: $800 a month

### What the price leaves out

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.

### 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.

## How to switch from Day AI to Ocean

Five steps. Most teams keep Day AI as their customer memory and add Ocean to find who to talk to next.

### 1. Export your won and lost deals

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.

### 2. Check your agent tiers

List your agents by tier, the skills they run and whether you need the top tier’s prospecting.

### 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 Day AI for targeting

* **Where do net-new accounts come from, and how are lookalikes decided?**  
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.
* **Which tier do we need for contact identification and prospecting?**  
Expect a quote that grows with seats, credits and add-ons, because the entry price is the smallest line; price your real volume.
* **How does it handle Outlook and Teams if we’re not on Google Workspace?**  
Expect export and no-code connectors first, with two-way sync tied to the plan; confirm what is live on yours.
* **Can we see the SOC 2 report and data terms?**  
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.

## Day AI pricing and alternatives: common questions

Short answers on what Day AI does, what it costs, how Ocean compares and what to check before you buy.

**What is Day AI?**

An AI-native CRM, which it calls CRMx, that builds a customer record from your meetings, email and Slack and runs agents on it. It can replace a CRM or sit on top of Salesforce or HubSpot.

**How much does Day AI cost?**

It charges per agent: free, then $24, $60 and $200 a month, and $800 a month on annual plans for the top tier. There are no per-seat or usage-based fees.

**Does Day AI find new accounts?**

Only on the Super tier, where agents prospect the web for net-new accounts and lookalikes of your best customers. On lower tiers it works from your own conversations and records.

**Does Day AI learn from my won and lost deals?**

It builds context from your conversations and CRM records, and doesn’t describe segments learned from won and lost deals. Ocean reads your CRM deals, learns the ICP and ranks every company against it.

**Does Day AI have an MCP server?**

Yes, for Claude, Cursor and Claude Code, on a paid agent tier. Ocean has an MCP server and a public API on the same data and lookalike engine.

**Can I use Ocean with Day AI?**

Yes. Day AI keeps what you know about your customers, and Ocean ranks the companies you haven’t met. Ranked accounts reach Day AI through Ocean’s public API or MCP, so its agents start on accounts worth the work.

**Is Day AI ready for an enterprise security review?**

It states SOC 2 Type II, with the report available under NDA, a published data processing addendum and no training on customer data. Ask for the current report.

**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.
