Used by teams at
PharowRegistry-grade French company data, signals and live-found emails. A fit for teams that sell into France.
Pharow is a Paris-based B2B data platform. It reconciles legal and financial data (SIREN, NAF code, directors, revenue), web pages, job postings, funding rounds and technologies into one database for France, with filters, an org chart for each company and live email and phone lookup.
Ranking companies in any country by how closely they match your won and lost deals, and pushing them into your CRM natively.
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 | Pharow |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the right accounts | ||
| Lookalikes | Ocean is stronger here. Core of the product. Segments and models learned from your won and lost CRM deals. | Builds lists from over a thousand filters on legal, financial, hiring, technology and funding data. We found no lookalike feature documented. |
| Learns your ICP from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | Reads your CRM daily to exclude contacts you already know or to filter by engagement. It doesn’t describe learning fit from 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. | Shows the data each company matched, such as revenue, hiring and technologies. That explains a filter match, not why a company fits your customers. |
| Coverage by country | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | Built for France: 3.4M+ registered companies on one page and 4M+ on another, and 10M+ prospects. Depth is the strength, and breadth outside France isn’t documented. |
| 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. | Reconstructs an org chart per company and finds emails live through Dropcontact, FullEnrich and Zerobounce at no credit cost. Mobile numbers cost 10 credits. |
| French registry data | Doesn’t resell registry data such as SIREN, NAF codes, directors or accounts. | Core strength: SIREN and NAF search, establishments, directors, revenue, net income and capital, with job data refreshed every 15 days. |
| Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | Hiring by platform and role, funding rounds with amount and series, growth in revenue and headcount, and technologies used. |
| 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. | HubSpot and Pipedrive without duplicates, lemlist and La Growth Machine, plus enrichment apps such as Kaspr and BetterContact. |
| AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | Its pricing page lists an API as coming soon. We found no MCP server documented. |
| Security and privacy | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | States it acts as a processor with a free DPA, stores no emails or mobiles, hosts data in France with OVH and has had an external DPO since 2022. We found no SOC 2 statement. |
| Pricing | Two ways to buy: a flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals and credit volume. | Two plans, Essentiel and Avancé, priced by quote on the page we read. Reviewers quote about €105 and €169 a month for one user on annual billing. |
Pharow now sells two plans, with credits you can also buy as packs. Its pricing page shows no price in text, and third-party figures differ, so check the page.
Older write-ups describe a free plan with 25 credits, a €99 Starter and plans up to about €499 a month, and one lists €79. The current page shows two plans and a 15-day trial, so confirm which applies. Teams over ten people are quoted separately.

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 a headline database size, because counts come from its own records and not your market; ask for coverage on your list.
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.
