A fit for teams that run outbound and deals together. Salesloft is a sales engagement and revenue platform. Account teams use Cadence, Conversation Intelligence, Deals and Rhythm, and leaders use Clari Forecast, Inspect and Analytics, all on a shared data layer of 32 connected signal sources. ### Ocean Deciding which companies belong in a cadence, learned from your own won and lost deals, with the reason on each. 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. --- ## Salesloft 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 Salesloft comparison__ | Topic | Ocean | Salesloft | | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 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. The Buyer Identification agent recommends stakeholders at accounts you work, and it doesn’t find companies that resemble your customers. | | Learns your ICP from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | Its AI is grounded in your deal data to guide opportunities and surface win patterns across similar deals. It doesn’t describe ranking companies across the market from them. | | The reason behind each account | Ocean is stronger here. Segment, score, tier and matched signals on every account and every export. | Rhythm tells sellers what to do next and why, from engagement signals and buying intent on accounts already in their book. | | Prioritizing accounts | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | The Priority Account agent ranks accounts by engagement signals and buying intent, to focus teams on the ones most likely to convert. | | 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. | AI enriches data in cadences and the Buyer Identification agent integrates with ZoomInfo. It doesn’t describe its own contact database. | | Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | 32 connected signal sources, including 6sense, Aircall, Apollo, Calendly, Chili Piper and Clearbit, unified in one live layer. | | Cadences, calls and coaching | Ranks accounts and hands them off. Cadences, calls and coaching stay in your own tools. | Salesloft is stronger here. Multi-channel cadences, a dialer, meetings, call recording, coaching and deal management, with call insights turning into tasks and CRM updates. | | 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. | Real-time Salesforce sync with 30+ activity properties, field mapping and a sync log, plus an app directory of integrations. | | AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | An MCP server (launched spring 2026) gives Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot context on live pipeline, deals, accounts and calls, with governance controls. | | Security and company scale | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | Lists SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, with a Trust Center, SSO, a DPA and a subprocessor list. | | 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. Its pricing page routes to a sales call. Third-party reports list per-seat prices in the low hundreds of dollars a month. | --- ## How much is Salesloft? Salesloft doesn’t publish prices, and its pricing page sends you to a sales call. Everything below comes from third parties, not Salesloft. * Its two reported plans. Reviewers describe Premier as the higher tier, and Clari Forecast, Inspect and other applications as additions to a core license: Advanced and Premier * Reported list price per user per month for Advanced and Premier, falling to about $83 to $125 on negotiated annual contracts, per competitors’ write-ups of Vendr data: $125 to $180 a seat * The median contract on Vendr as reported by competitors, with a range of about $5,160 to $144,743. Salesloft doesn’t confirm it: About $30,760 a year * Enterprise pricing can run that high. Vendr tracks Salesloft contracts from $5,160 to $144,743 a year, with a median of $30,740 across 710 purchases: Enterprise pricing Up to $144,743 a year ### What the price leaves out Reviewers say dialer, data and deliverability tools are often added on top, and that the quote depends on seats, term and modules. Figures older than the Clari merger may not reflect combined packaging, so ask for a line-item quote and the renewal terms in writing. ### 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 Salesloft? Salesloft is where reps work and managers inspect. Ocean decides which companies reps should be working in the first place. ### Choose Salesloft if * You want cadences, calls, call intelligence and deal inspection in one platform * You want forecasting from Clari in the same place as engagement * You want AI agents and an MCP server on top of your own pipeline data ### Use both if * Ocean decides who enters cadences, through your CRM or its API, and Salesloft runs them * You compare Salesloft’s engagement-based priority accounts with Ocean’s deal-learned fit ranking [Talk to us](https://book.ocean.io/inbound/api) ### Choose Ocean if * Your question is which companies to pursue, not how to run the sequence * You want fit learned from your won and lost deals across the whole market * You want the reason on every account and an exact count of the market * You want to start without per-seat licenses [Start for free](https://book.ocean.io/inbound/api) --- ## How to switch from Salesloft to Ocean Five steps. Most teams keep Salesloft for execution and add Ocean to choose who gets worked. ### 1. Export your cadence targets and outcomes Export the accounts in your cadences and their results, then run the same companies through Ocean to compare them against your closed-won deals. ### 2. Check your seats and renewal Find your plan, seats and renewal date, and ask how the Clari merger changes packaging. ### 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 Salesloft for targeting * **Does the Priority Account agent learn from our won and lost deals, or from engagement signals?** 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. * **How are Clari and Salesloft packaged and priced now, and what changes at renewal?** 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. * **Which agents and the MCP server are included, and which cost extra?** Expect a quote that grows with seats, credits and add-ons, because the entry price is the smallest line; price your real volume. * **Where do the accounts in our cadences come from, and how do we know they fit?** 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. Ocean is better because it tells it like it is: contextual intelligence to find your next deal, with the reason on every account.

Clari’s products, such as Clari Forecast, now sit inside Salesloft, and clari.com redirects to salesloft.com. **How much does Salesloft cost?** Salesloft doesn’t publish prices. Competitors’ write-ups of Vendr data report list prices of about $125 to $180 per user per month and a median contract near $30,760 a year. These are third-party figures. **Does Salesloft learn from my won and lost deals?** Its AI is grounded in your deal data to guide opportunities, but its pages don’t describe ranking companies across the market from them.
